I'm sorry but you're wrong. The rejuvination is starting within the downtown city itself, and clearly evidenced if you were ever down there.
I been to Detroit several times and stopped going about 7 years ago as the city became a place of chaos, the damage is already done as whole neighborhoods have been bulldozed, property values have collapsed and the remaining residents are fighting over what little resources are left. The city is corpse of its former self and Bing was give a impossible task(s) by the voters.
“Conservatives” sneered at us when we said we could regain control of the state, they sneered at us again when we said we would make Michigan a right to work state, and now we’re just going to prove them wrong one more time.
Do you see any life there in the heart of the city????
