US? No.
But this is Detroit we’re talking about here. And - to their credit - the UN DOES have knowledge about third world hellhole conditions.
So let ‘em have at it.

I think many of these UN people come from countries where the government guarantees water, and is an even bigger share of the economy than it is here.
To: dware
Such unwanted commentary and interference by arrogant outsiders used to be dealt with via a generous application of hot tar and goose feathers. The local road department can probably supply the tar and in lieu of feathers may I suggest shredded paper?

Imagine the nerve of demanding people pay for their water. Next they’ll say people have to pay for their own groceries, rent, cars, gas....where does it stop? (snicker)

Some Detroit American woman should have thrown a bucket of bilge water at those two Nosey Neighbors.

Lefties get upbraided by lefties... hmmm who should cheer? (But you’d think they would have enough economic sense to clamor at the door of those who can provide the dollars. Can’t keep a water system going if you can’t pay the people to run it or the materials used.)

It sure as hell doesn’t stop with people demanding others pay their rent for their NYC offices.

Not so fast. According to EPA it's illegal to collect rainwater.
Or let rainwater from your property run into the street.

Sorry, nobody has a “right” to filtered water. From what I understand, you can still walk up to one of the Great Lakes and drink out of it; considering that Detroit residents already live in filth and are ravaged by diseases, they should be able to deal with unfiltered water.

In this case, despite the hyperbole the “boots on the ground” appear to be two attorneys.
