First you had the Bridge to Nowhere.

Then the Highway to Hell.

Now, high-speed rail to Detroit.

I’d be all for spending the money on walling off Detroit to prevent any more escapes from there.

The Upper Peninsula has to get the hell away from those....down there.

The UP was once one of the most powerful economic areas in the USA..that is until they gained complete control downstate.

I grew up in the Big D and left during the ‘60s riots. Returned in late ‘90s for a funeral. Amazed to find places where I grew up were a cesspool, or worse. Detroit has always been bad, however, now, it resembles a bombed out war zone.

I will never return there. I just have difficulty believing that this is part of America.

High-speed rail for Detroit needs only to be one-way; OUTBOUND.

Great, 160 million tax payer dollars for a new train system to the most depressed area in the country. who’s riding this train to Detroit? the homeless? the unemployed, gangbangers. Now if the government opens soup kitchens, food stamp offices and relocates all of Michgans unemployment offices to Detroit we would have a full train! Stupid a##es

Detroit already has about everything stolen that it is possible to steal. This high-speed rail will get the locals out the suburbs easier and quicker where they can find more to loot and pillage.

Not to Detroit, from Detroit.

It would only be worthwhile if the high speed rail went only to each casino...thats the only reason anyone goes to Detroit...the casino’s were built for quick access to the interstate that runs through detroit...
