Maybe we should but you sure are not. Detroit's problems began not recently but 110 YEARS ago with the people who ran the city gave up well thought out urban planning for the auto industry. Instead of upper and middle class areas, instead of parks and shopping centers there were rail yards and manufacturing plants. The whole city is designed to make it easy to build cars, not live in, which is their main issue. There was talk back in 1960 about the blight and long term issues. You can throw as much money as you want at Detroit, it is not going to change the city physically which is the root cause of their problems.

You really think nothing could have been done since the sixties to fix Detroit, because of "urban planning" in 1902 or whatever? What did they do, require people to follow the plan under penalty of death?
Do you think if the people of Gross Pointe lived there it would be as bad?
