I don't like this thread any more.
1) People in Detroit don't want to move to N. Korea. Most people still in Detroit are there by choice.
2) People in Detroit can read.
3) "suburbs of Detroit" is dumb. Just say the name or just say Detroit metro.
4) "the unions" aren't like the only reason for the collapse of the big 4. The management was awful, the budgeting was awful, the product was awful for a number of years, the response to consumer demand was poor. "The unions" were a part of a poor strategic decision on the part of management. There are countless stories from machinists, tool and die shops, drafting shops, all of the specialized work that was outsourced by the Big 4 about the incredible mismanagement and overruns. Literally every shop had a "GM account" that they dumped losses on and GM did not care or notice. Ford for a quarter century measured their invoices with a pound scale.
5) the murder rate is bad, but that clearance rate is not accurate without a link pls
6) the opportunity in Detroit is/will be incredible. Hating on Detroit is passe. It is a Larry the Cable Guy joke. It is proudly and profoundly ignorant. The only thing that is nice about it is it keeps the fearful and ignorant driving to Branson. On the highway, in their car, too dumb to comprehend the irony.
