OK, I'll call you crazy.

Plenty of auto plants being built in the US but notice they are about as far away from the UAW as possible and that means avoiding Detroit.

If you notice all the new auto plants were built in the South... Detroit's dead...

Call me crazy but I think Detroit is going to re-emerge.

I agree but I suspect is will be 7-10 years. Detroit is leading the way for the rest of the country.

First, the upcoming recession/depression has to happen. F and GM have to file for BK. People's expectations have to come down a hell of a lot, then Detroit and the rest of the country will emerge stronger. It's going to take quite a while.

>>There is a lot about Detroit that is entrepreneurial<<

While that is very true, the balance sheets of GM and F (unlike most US industries) continue to deteriorate. They don't call that town "Debt-riot" for nothing.....<G>
