Travel Tips

Yeah, they should do something. It needs to be cleaned up, heavy police patrol and surveillance everywhere. The ghettos should be bulldozed and decent housing erected. They have no 'quality of living' and so they act like animals and convicts. I don't know the right people to present this idea to but maybe
we could organize a protest. (probably get shot doing it)

You have to find some of the nicer parts of Detroit. River walk, Greektown, take a ride on the People Mover. Lighten up. nobody is going to kill you unless you are a crackhead or whore in the wrong place at the wrong time. Go with several people.
I am a country girl. I hate the city. I can understand your fear.
Well Detroit is not unlike any other major city in that the powers that be completely abandoned the inner cities. After WW 2, America experienced a huge boost in its economic peak and with that came what would turn out to be good industrial jobs for people returning from wars and those who chose not to attend college. In those days and leading up to around the mid '70's, people were living decent lives and raising their families.

After the demise of those manufacturing jobs most notably in Detroit the auto industry, millions of people were left with hopelessness and abandonment and we haven't recovered from that yet. The auto industry jobs that were once a boom in Detroit have all but dried up given way to cheaper labor costs in mostly 3 world countries and our workers have been left downtrodden and penniless bcecuase of that.

When our economy switched from one of industrial means to one of information, millions of people were left out in the cold.

Most inner cities in America have deteriorated since the mid to late '60's up through the mid to late '70's.

Now we have cities filled with homeless people and beggars and there's nobody in our government trying to remedy the situation. When society excludes certain people from the daily humbug of life and providing for their families, the breakdown is bound to happen and have a rippling effect. People who can afford to move to what they perceive to be safer areas, are finding that those safe havens are now being inundated with those very people they're trying to get away from and eventually the bubble will bust and we will have chaos.

People who went to work for the auto industry, steel industry and other industrial companies during the boom '50's and '60's and retired 30 year later were lucky in that they got in and got out before 401k plans were born and before workers were being asked as we are today to finance our own retirement and healthcare benefits. People who got those jobs after the '60's are finding it more and more difficult to maintain a decent standard of living and we are paying a heavy price for that.
I think we need to kick the segregation in thetrash and get some cooperation in trying to bring jobs to the region and safety.
douse it with some jewish lightening.
It's too big and unwieldy as it is! I say divide the city into many smaller separate cities. The city services and city as a whole are too big and terribly managed as they are. Breaking the city into smaller more manageable cities is the way to go. That way also the schools can be managed differently without having the stigma of Detroit schools - likewise for housing
