Couldn't come up with a "_____, brehs" slogan 
Detroit natives been knowing this was about to happen years ago...
Also, as much as I hate to say it gentrification might be the only way that this city survives. Midtown, Woodbridge, Corktown and Downtown have be damn near totally transformed (for the better) because of it. If you black and in the city its best you get with some of these aggressive investors and be willing to work with some white/arab/latin folks because Detroit's day's as a "black city" are numbered i hate to say.

This better than turning the whole city into farmland and running
its residents out of the city

I have faith in Detroit. I don't want it to go under. It will hopefully follow the same recovery cycle as NYC through the 80's and 90's. Not sure how it'd go down, but people are extremely innovative. I'm sure there will be some amazing things around the corner.

Detroit is flabby and sick!!!
Sell it all. No one here wanted to go under but everyone's being stubborn and unrealistic about sacrificing. 
How much were they offering for the sale of Belle Isle again before they voted against it?

Why even try to prop it up?
Just let it fester.
Sometimes you gotta cut it loose.
Not every city is meant to make it.

1. Its not
2. nikkas gotta make better moves.
I'm sorry. I understand the "history" of Detroit...but that doesn't mean we need to keep investing in something that doesn't want to help itself.
No one wants to live there. There are no jobs there. Theres nothing naturally desirable about that place.
At some point, people gotta be real with themselves.
Detroit ain't the move... Theres always Chicago....

The people that can help and can make a difference don't
have the resources to change the culture of the city, as a whole.
I honestly don't think it is all bad to write off the whole city
as a lost cause. Just get rid of those corrupt higher-ups, do away with
those burned up vacant homes, turn some parts into agriculture
and stop depending on the automotive industries, then maybe they
can restore itself as a city.
My problem with Detroit is they keep putting their hopes and dreams into
these drug-dealers, gangsters and auto industries. And they all either die,
get locked up or move away. Everyone keeps following the same corrupted
programming. It's like the one rotten apple that keeps spoiling the bunch
