We would all be better off. And I say this as a Republican.

I think there is a middle ground. But if we had to choose between two extremes, that's the one I would choose.


As a liberal, its clear Rs don't understand how cities work. Detroit may be down but it ain't out. In fact, in the next year, four companies are moving nearly 10,000 jobs from the suburbs to downtown Detroit. Ever hear of Corktown? Then do a search......its a Detroit neighborhood experiencing a major renaissance. Last month housing sales AND prices were up YOY in all 4 counties of Metro Detroit. Detroit is getting ready to break ground on its first light rail line next year. The 'W' hotel chain is rumored to be looking at a major office building in DT Detroit that is being converted from offices to hotel and residential uses. Even as Detroit lost population in the last ten years, DT's residential population increased double digits. Detroit is a Phoenix getting ready to rise again........and unlike the city in AZ it has tons of water to fuel that rise.

Oh btw..........did I mention that Whole Foods is opening up a market in Midtown Detroit next year?

The announcement of Detroit's death is a bit a premature.
