    Detroit was the perfect storm of Unions, Democrat's and Blacks running things. It is what it is.

    I don't want my State money to help Detroit, and I don't want my Federal money to help Detroit.

    To Truelly help Detroit it needs to hit rock bottom and pull itself up.

    Don't do that. The people that live there would go somewhere else. The solution is an "Escape From New York" style fence around the place.

    If they want some money let em sell Howdy Doody.

    I think you can blame the local gangs for it. They elected their leader mayor. As for the union part, there is one lone factory in Detroit that is a uaw factory. All of the auto manufacturing facilities are located outside Detroit.

    There are folks who want to bulldoze numerous blocks to create farms, but the city is resisting because the property tax revenue of farm land is so much reduced. So they sit on abandoned homes hoping for god knows what.
