poppy, how does bankruptcy work for an entire city?s is the largest municipal bankruptcy this country has ever seen. >> hey, there, christine. yeah, that's right, it is the largest municipal bankruptcy by far in the history of this country. 18 billion and a half dollars in debt. that is how deep in the red this city is. it's unprecedented. so the way this all comes out in court is yet to be seen. but what we do know is this is going to mean some pretty steep cuts for bondholders here, but really, also, likely cuts for retired and current city workers. their pensions and their health care benefits hang in the balance. that's what so much of the focus has been on here in detroit today in the wake of this bankruptcy. what is it going to mean for people who are counting on those pension checks to come in? now, here's what kevin worthy, the emergency manager of the city of detroit who made this decision along with the republican governor, rick snyder, of michigan, said, look, people are going to have to take cuts in the near term, but in th

development of the idea of public transport not as a private means of profit, but as a way of an entire city profiting that public transport makes life possible for everybody. there was an expression in the 19th century that for the poor you had to live near your bread which meant live near where you worked. and, of course, what public transport does is it means that isn't the case any longer, and it's a way of cleaning out the slums. you don't have to live centrally anymore. you can afford to live in a nicer area because you can afford to commute. so the 19th century saw a range of these things happening. the first was the invention of the bus. which, of course, is short for omnibus which arrived in england in 1833. then a decade later you've got the arrival of the trains and particularly important was the government-passed regulation saying all train companies had to run what were called working men's trains which were incredibly cheap and ran at sort of 6:00 in the morning, 5:00 in the morning. and so that got the workers in and out of london and meant that they no longer had to live near

how does bankruptcy work for an entire city?roved by a judge, a chapter 9 bankruptcy filing. this is enormous. this is the largest municipality ever in the history of this country to file for bankruptcy. i just got off the phone with the press secretary for kevin orr, who is the financial emergency manager in detroit. he ostensibly took control of the city back in march when the governor of michigan put him in charge and bill told me at 4:06 p.m. today the governor along with the emergency manager of detroit filed officially for chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. this is a little sooner than we expected. we were hearing rumblings it could happen tomorrow but it came today. in is a city that is $18 billion in debt, has been decades in the making. why did this happen? the population has been declining. 1.5 million in 1950 to 700,000 today, fewer people a paying taxes, the downfall of the auto industry, corruption in government, so many things have added up to this. what this is going to mean now is if they are approved and have an e

an imposed building in and out on a roof as at&t says. at&ts attorney says this planning code carves out a special section and i quote the city has an entire code for facilities are allowed outside and then sites a unconsistently code. what he's refer to say section of article 25 of the san francisco peculiar code which only governors codes on light and light poles. it does appear for the last 17 years the city's codes have been at odds. and it's the controlling authority from the landmark sixth court metro vs. 71 of san francisco which or gaited in those very chambers of a wireless facility which like the present case was property for the richmond district but the 9th sixth was not only in favor of the city but the district court resulted that it had demonstrated the significant gap but it failed to prove that the site was the least intrusive means and thereby handed the residents a decisive victory. it's not that that graze the basketball stamped and there's no way to treat the at&t organization any differently. for any and all the above listed conditions we ask you deny at&t permit today >> thank you, colleagues any questions to the app

i believe it is a tough case to privatize an entire city, and really people need to understand that privatizing means that it is just going to a private company. the money to operate it is still coming from the cities or the governments, so it is not actually privatizing. it is just moving it over to somewhere else some other entity , any services and everything will get worse. tax rates are really a big part of what we see in detroit. i don't necessarily think they are helping. i don't think places are necessarily moving into detroit because of some of the incentives in place. but really what we have seen in detroit have a lot more to do with the fact that the government has been not very transparent with its books, and thesect that they do have existing obligations from 10, 20 years ago when the city was bigger, and they have not faced up to how big these costs would be. so i think it is a tough case. and figuring out what we do in detroit and keep critters happy and willing to lend to the city if necessary to have the city go -- grow going forward. we will see some of it. i don't necessarily

and that led to terrible city finances. >> really. >> the next question, steve, what does it mean for an entiredetroit, chapter 9 bankruptcy. that very long protracted. they're twice the size of any city that has ever used it before which is stockton, california. looking at it from a financial perspective, maybe the way to make the numbers work will be massive numbers of debt and more importantly significant changes in pensions and health care benefits. personally, think this is a place where government will have to step in. >> couple of other big stories. the fallout from the "rolling stone" cover controversy continues this morning. in response to what may have been called glamorized, even rock star treatment, of dzhokhar tsarnaev, a photographer with the massachusetts state police released a series of photos showing the alleged bomber in a decidedly less glamorous state. the previously unseen images show the accused killer with a red laser sight trained on his head. the graphic pictures were given to boston magazine by sergeant sean murphy. he wrote that the "rolling stone" cover was an insul

yes, for the public seconder to step in and restructure an entire city that's been in decline for many to do that right now? you know, the states stepped in with the emergency administrator. he could only take it so far. and can washington, in its current state, really do something this dramatic? look at their trouble in restructuring new orleans, for instance. >> well, first of all, the state of michigan could take it further. snyder has chosen not to. he's a republican with a republican legislature. he's trying to make a statement that we don't do bailouts -- if you want to call it -- don't do bailouts. but he certainly has some money that he could put into this situation. washington did eventually pull its act together on sandy, which i have likened -- not a perfect comparison, but victims of another kind of disaster. we eventually pulled ourselves together and did something there. i see it as a test of whether you're going to help these 77 700,000 people. >> 700,000 people in a city that i think was supposed to house three times that at least. >> it did. >> and thomas friedman, wha

you get just outside of that core, you will see an entire city block with one or two houses on it. fast. >> although fixing the transportation system, would you argue that that's an easier problem than the city's fanses broadly speaking? in other words, one is sort of an operational issue or was there a pension issue with the transportation system as well? >> we had two issues with the transportation system. one was they were spending way too much money and the quality was horribly inferior. you're getting the lowest quality hotel room for ritz carlton prices. we have to make changes. it's why you've seen the emergency manager take them into bankruptcy court. there's a lot of talk about all this thing with alternative fuels, but there's not an alternative way to pay. some day the guy at the pump wants his money. that's where we are. >> talk about the broken promises, too. we'll see where this all leads news the court system. thank you for coming in. >>> pretty good housing number this morning. new home sales coming in at their lhighest level in five years. we'll check out what paul

styles and importance of view and all of this lends itself to living in that area as an ex-tening of the entire city. and the free spaces allow or integral to the entire quality of life of living up there. and not only do they provide us for safety knowing that at any time in the event of fire and any other emergency we can make the quick exits that these areas provide and knowing that we can, the area express our nature and our appreciation of having open space around us. having clear air funneling through our area where we live. all of this is important to the lifestyle that we had chosen and that we have on the hill it is very breezy and a place to live as anyone knows. >> and we love living up there and infusing the life on the hill. just to cover up these areas would be to to create a blacktop jungle up there that nobody would care to live in the future. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker please? >> my name is nancy o'brien and i have lived in san francisco for 25 years on crest line on previously on park ridge, my objection to the loss of the green space is aesthetics of course, and base

are very proud of that and it's a model to do the work in other parts of the city and just to let you know we have an entire team devoted to this type of work. it's the city design team within the planning department. they're focus focused on improvements to the public realm and this grew out of that and our streets represent 25% of the land area of the city and more than the parks combined, so the basic coal of that program is. >> below look at it differently and recognize they represent great public spaces in the city and can be much better than they are today so i wanted to go over what we have worked with your staff about the lessons learned in this process and what we are doing today to kind of further carry out this work. most of these -- these are summary statements of what is in your memo and i won't go over them in detail but one of the things that is absolutely essential and i think has learned lessons over the year on this point that public engagement isn't something you do once in a while and walk away. it's something you do continually throughout the process and the work you have done exemplifi

city in u.s. history to file for chapter 9. it's an absolutely stunning but not entirely surprising turn of events for that city. detroit's population for a little bit of history here, it soared during the rise of the auto industry in the 20th country back in 1950. now the population has fallen to just over 700,000 and a 6% plunge in the past decade. unemployment rate over 18%. the city really has never recovered from the housing crisis either. today, close to 80,000 hopes ha have been abandoned. if you go there, you can see how streets go from occupied to unoccupied to abandoned to desolate with grass growing in the streets. the median value of the ones still occupied is below $40,000. crime also a major problem. the city's homicide rate at historically high levels ranking among america's most dangerous cities for more than 20 years. the future of detroit remains pretty unclear for now. this is no clear road map to how the city survives and pays their debts. the filing begins a three-month process where they determine if the city even qualifies for chapter 9 protection.
