“Never mind all of the corruption in the city’s government. nah, let focus on choo-choos in this class, kids!”
The real problem was Coleman Young and the crooked Blacks that followed his twenty year experiment in Communism and Unionism. It was a chocolate problem not a choo-choo problem.
Detroit had a comprehensive rail-based public transit system too - the Michigan Central Station that once was the thriving epicenter connecting Detroit with the whole Midwest, now an icon of decay and failure of liberal politics ...
Teach that in your "Detroit: Metropolis in Transition," course.
They still have the “People Mover” there, right?
Yeah and its a money hole. 7% rider funded with the taxpayers picking up the rest of the tab.
Well it was nice when you wanted to have dinner in Greek Town before going to a game at “The Joe.”
That building is owned by one of America’s richest men. (Matty Maroun)
Ssssssh! We have to find a way to blame capitalism!
“its persistence as the largest metro are in the United States without a comprehensive, rail-based public transit system.”
As if that’s the cause...How about pay to city workers that it is way too high with pension benefits that will never be able to be paid. When the union thugocracy runs the place why would you expect anything else....think California, New York, Illinois, etc

Maroun has no intent to do anything but let it crumble.
Typical Maroun, always telling us what he’s gonna do. He just never quite gets around to doing it when its so much easier to buy a Detroit politician.
The should rename it “Detroit Bankruptcy in Obamanomics” and offer it nationally online.
It would be a very useful course, however I fear that they are certainly missing the point.
