If money was hard to come by the City could substitute in-kind inducements (e.g., free skateboards, baskets of Kiehl facial products, and the like). Another possibility would be to celebrate reality rather than try to change it, by distributing brightly colored "We're Number 13" bumper stickers, painting the slogan on City benches, and other such things. Just kidding. If this story is any evidence, "young adults" can get a little full of themselves at times.
