Who in the world would live in Detroit or Chicago? Bringing children up in war zones such as these is child abuse.

Somebody isn't paying attention. Detroit is increasingly under control of the GOP state government. In fact, I also dispute the murder rate. Detroit leads the nation in justifiable homicide which is usually counted as a murder but is most often considered defensive.

I do feel sorry for Dave Bing, who seems intelligent and honest and understands the problems and the direction in which a solution would lie. But the labor unions’ grip on the levers of power make those solutions impossible to get through the city council.

Houses are inexpensive in Detroit. Why wouldn't someone want to move there? The Federal Reserve thinks printing money to make houses affordable should work. If that's true, why are these houses still vacant?

Put yourself in a black democratic voter’s shoe, they see the white libs just cleaning up at the trough, they just want their share.

From the article:

"This month, it was discovered that Barrett Jones, a full-time consultant for the Detroit Water and Sewage facility earning $139,000 a year, had a second full-time job at $135,000 a year as public-safety administrator for the city of Flint, which is 70 miles away. He has resigned from his Flint job but still works for the city of Detroit."

Detroit has basically just become a conduit for money to the criminal class.

I love the media as it is totally devoted to the fallacy of non causa pro causa; i.e. mere economics. Everyone knows the cause but are unable to publically state it.

It’s only safe to drive in Detroit now, if you’re driving a fully combat loaded M-1A1 Abrams tank.

If TV's Hardcore Pawn is any indication of Detroit's population, then it's truly doomed.

I'm waiting or someone to get shot in the parking lot.
