When that is your driving theme, you lay down your differences,” she said, adding that this does not necessarily mean the committee members have differences on this issue.

Despite the enormity of that goal, Sarkozy wants to move fast. He's calling for financing offers from an array of public and private actors to be tabled in July. And in October, he will introduce legislation to strip down construction, zoning, and other laws that have traditionally slowed development in the city. Sarkozy also said...
