Never has dawned on anyone there that the city income tax might be a contributing factor to the "white flight"...
Or perhaps the absolutely insane people elected to run the "city."

"Suburbanites are taking the bodies of their relatives out of cemeteries because they're afraid to come to the city," Vogel said. "There are about 400 to 500 hundred (being moved) a year which shows you the depth of racism and fear." Racism? You mean there actually isn't high crime?

I don't like them at all.

Liberals have the "dodo touch". Everything the touch turns to poop. Detroit, Chicago, DC, LA, SF, Seattle...
anyone else see a trend here?

Detroit was recently named the most liberal city in the country based on voting patterns. I guess voting Democrat has really paid off.

I thought the War on Poverty was supposed to have fixed this sort of thing.

The city should take large pieces of land by eminent domain, clear it and give it to entrepreneurs who promise to develop it along with incentives and/or tax breaks

Detroit, a renaissance mixture of Democrats, unions, and victim-hood.

which shows you the depth of racism and fear." PFffft...it ain't racaism, it is lawlessness, and if the criminals are black, so be it. Aint nothing to do with race.
.In his state of the city address, embattled mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said even if 10,000 new homes were built every year for the next 15 years "we wouldn't fill up our city."
Hey Kwame, lower taxes you dpsht! Who the heck names their kid Kwame? 10 to 1 odds they don't speak a lick of Swahili and couldn't find Uganda on a map.

Will the last person to leave Detroit please turn out the lights....
We shall have all this housing available for the refugees from Iraq that shall come swarming to our shores when the successor to President George W. Bush assumes office and summarily withdraws the US troops from the Middle East.

One day... ten, twenty, or maybe thirty years from now.. Detroit will turnaround and have an urban revival. And people will be saying "I wish I had invested in Detroit real estate in 2005!"

Perhaps the biggest challenge to luring the middle class from the area's swank suburbs is overcoming racial tensionsI love these codified statements. The real issue here is black-on-white crime, but of course nobody is going to come out and say that.

A few years ago my wife and I were visiting Detroit. Having
a little extra time we decided to drive over to the Grosse Pointe area and drive along Lake Shore Drive. This is an affluent area of Detroit with beautiful homes. We then drove west off Lake Shore to gain access to I-94. Just a few blocks in off Lake Shore Drive we drove thru areas that were completely blighted ... what struck us was the contrast between Grosse Pointe and the area immediately west of it ... the contrast was shocking.
