    I'm guess that is what happens when the working class dies out or moves away. Leaving the takers...with nothing left to take.

    I'm flying home to Michigan in 3 weeks...I hope DTW is still open.

    Detroit is a wasteland. If it werent for the stadiums and casinos, you would never see a white person there. The unemoyment rate in the city is somewhere between 30 and 40%. I think there are now fewer than 800,000 residents. Entire neighborhoods are completely vacant. There are more abandoned homes than occupied homes. Most of the city looms like a war zone. I wont even drive through detroit. Ill spend the extra time to go around it if i have to.

    The last republican mayor was in 1960 I believe.I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

    Detroit fcked themselves when they restructured & bootstrapped their police force with federal oversight.

    "Detroit is a wasteland. If it werent for the stadiums and casinos, you would never see a white person there."

    That sounds like a democrats vision of what heaven would be like. Too bad they all won't leave our cities and migrate there.
    Some people are like slinkies.
    They aren't good for much, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
