From the right: Joe Should Credit Trump on Vax Joe Biden pledged to unite the country and has “one simple way he could show he is serious: Give President Trump credit for the stunning success of Operation Warp Speed,” points out The Washington Post’s Marc A. Thiessen. Trump’s “decision to run the vaccine-development process in parallel rather than sequentially” facilitated record-breaking success. But instead of admitting that “for all of Trump’s flaws in managing the pandemic, he is also responsible for ending it,” Biden seems out to save “that credit for himself.” The new president can deliver on “his promise to reach out to his opponent’s supporters and bring Americans together” by resolving to “give credit where credit is due — and pledge to continue Operation Warp Speed.” Urban beat: Lessons From Across the Hudson “The story of New York City over the past few years has been one of increasingly harebrained opposition to new housing and office construction amid a debilitating housing shortage and worsening economic prospects,” grumbles Nolan Gray at City Journal. Yet right over the Hudson, the Jersey City “growth machine” has been securing “significant public improvements.” Last year, it built several times as much housing per capita as New York. Jersey City “doesn’t take growth for granted: Its leadership makes few apologies for attracting new investment” and using it to secure new schools, parks, libraries, infrastructure and apartments.
