	CITY ON A HILL: The South Bronx
		The three community districts that comprise the core of the South Bronx had fallen 57 percent in population from 383,000 in 1970 to 166,000 in 1980, which has to rival the greatest short term population loss in any urban setting with the possible exception of war's devastation.
		For the South Bronx, the result was a virtual leveling of large tracts of land, with a loss of 40 percent of its housing stock.
		Robert Worth, in "Guess Who Saved the South Bronx?" notes that the Bronx political leadership was unusually honest and focused on the goal of revitalization, in contrast to leadership at the same time in other parts of the city.
