Detroit has no hope. Why?
Because there is no change in the business conditions. Let’s put aside the quality of life, crime and other issues for a moment that determine whether people want to locate there. Consider whether businesses want to locate in Detroit. Has anything changed that will attract businesses?
I don’t see it. No businesses, no jobs. No business base, no tax base, and so on.
Do what’s right for the state and nation and the cities will stand or fall all by themselves.
