no it is not time to invest in areas where the people there don't give a rats ass about their home or the area they just want "their piece of the pie" and what you going to GIVE THEM not what they can make our EARN

Detroit's condition is the result of American big business flocking across the borders for cheaper labor, and for being a city pretty much dependant on that one industry. The loss of that industry has crippled the city. Unrealistic/criminal labor unions are also partly to blame.

I say make the businesses that abandoned it pay to restore it. We tossed billions at the auto industry to keep it afloat, make them give some of that to the city they deserted.

Detroit needs to tear it all down and convert it back to farm land like it was before. Auto industry is never going to return to there.

um buildings standing vs. just a fireplace standing, NOT EXACT OPPOSITES

maybe people miss-managing their money and buying houses they can't afford?

agreed with everyone, another reason the white middle class poured out of detroit in the 60's was the rising drug problem and fears of local gangs and kingpins

This and the former politicians, at least as of today, are now being federally indicted.

Also, people (who live there) don't tend to hang around to help fix the city. Most simply move out, and those that don't wish they did. When you aren't proud of your city, what would happen to it?

So what this video is saying...we NEED to nuke Detroit! Just make sure the wind is out of the South that day. Let the Canadians deal with the fallout.

True true.

Japan also has a lack of land issue that America doesn't. The Japanese for a large part are proactive productive people. America has vast lands of un-bastardized lands STILL. Detroit is becoming a ghost town. The unions and human nature killed that place. It is human nature to avoid pain. Physical pain, emotional pain, spiritual pain, economic pain, pain from work, pain from disappointment... pain from failure. We as humans avoid these at all cost. As Americans, historically, we fight against this urge to avoid pain in the pursuit of success. It is those that fight harder, faster, longer that tend to win and out run the pains of this world. Detroit will never be the same. If enough hard working people take to fighting then Detroit will get better.
