Speaking as a native Detroiter there is no F’n way Detroit will ever get even close to a sembilance of what it looked like pre-1967.
The majority of the people in the city limits do not possess the education or the work ethic to turn this city around and it will take a hundred years if EVER to get the city to operate like a normal town. The majority of the people in Detroit proper are on the government teat or are too poor or too old to move out.
The liberal gentrifiers can waste their treasure trying to make downtown shine but it is like a silver dollar stuck in a piece of shit.
These people can even pay their water bills!
Voting DemoRat has consequences.
Detroit Denby, Class of 1967
Left in 1960 when I enlisted. Get back once a decade for SMR reunions. But I will consider myself a Detroiter for the rest of my days.
