No offense to this guy, but people not nearly as smart as him have been basically been suggesting the same thing for many years. Coming up with an idea is the easy part, we can all do that. It's implementing the plan and dealing with all the hurdles that is the difficult part.

It's just like the outstate urban planners who came to Detroit a few years ago and said the city needs to have the nighborhoods consolidated and the less populated areas need to be turned into green spaces. Thanks a lot, now if they could just find a way to come up with the money, a way to persuade people to move among many other problems involved with trying to shrink a city we'll be all set.

The devil is in the details is right.
