I had thought this article would be about twice this long when I suddenly reached the end. I'd like to see some more numbers: how much debt do we actually have? What is the current plan for paying it off? How does this compare to other cities?

i think there are problems looming - not part of the city's debt, but its coming. case in point - the pension system.

its frustrating - without more money, the roads look like sheet. but without more residents, there is not more money. (looking at you, giant non-profits).

Pittsburgh debt is pushing 1 billion dollars. Clevelands debt is 260 million. Detroit is 18 billion in debt.
