An Effort to Save Flint, Mich., by Shrinking It

An Effort to Save Flint, Mich., by Shrinking It
"The population would be condensed into a few viable areas. So would stores and services. A city built to manufacture cars would be returned in large measure to the forest primeval.
“Decline in Flint is like gravity, a fact of life,” said Dan Kildee, the Genesee County treasurer and chief spokesman for the movement to shrink Flint. “We need to control it instead of letting it control us.”"

Happy Earth Day!
The Green-Dream!
No mention of lower spending, taxes or more efficient government.
No wonder the NYT loves this idea!
