The market appears to be doing something rapidly -- and without tax dollars -- that the government has spent millions of dollars and years trying to do: make housing affordable.

Mayor Jerry Sanders sits down for another conversation, and he reveals that he's soured on the idea that businesspeople can run city government as he tries to become a 'senior statesman.'
