A solution here is an uneasy one. Outright removing Fort Bragg from the equation is an idealistic idea, but would be met with great resistance by not just the military but those who rely on the post for their income. Slowly scaling back the military presence and having the military pour money in to the cultivation of a more diverse job base sounds overly democratic and perhaps a little naive. The best way to know what to do in the future may be to look at what was done the last time the United…
