Mr. Bing is brimming with other ideas to make Detroit more livable. One challenge he faces is how to successfully downsize. "We have a city that still has a footprint from when we had almost two million people. In the 2010 census, we'll be lucky if we've got half of that population with the same footprint and infrastructure."...He has a clear prescription of how to bring the middle class back: "I think public safety is number one. A productive school system is number two. Because without either one of those being effective and efficient, you can forget everything else."
