I visited Detroit a couple of times to attended sporting events. The contrast was striking, beautifully manicured baseball field and golf course, surrounded by squalor and decay. Your assessment of the situation is bang on. Failure of this magnitude is a result of negligence, and incompetence, by all stakeholders. It requires a unified effort to bring a city to ruins. Hi Miles,

Your perspective and insight is far greater than mine. I visited Detroit a couple of times to attended sporting events. The contrast was striking, beautifully manicured baseball field and golf course, surrounded by squalor and decay. Your assessment of the situation is bang on. Failure of this magnitude is a result of negligence, and incompetence, by all stakeholders. It requires a unified effort to bring a city to ruins.

I am sure you have read the many reasons why. Growing up across the ditch' as we called it, we spent many days and nights in Detroit. All major league sports, first class entertainment, great food, and nightlife. You never felt totally safe, but you didn't feel totally scared either. Demise occurs when people really think that life as it is wont change, and as a result, you don't have to change either. Throw in corruption that is soap opera - like, a town built on one trick pony industry and the murder capital of the world and Bang...1.2 million people flee. It is sad to see a city that once rivaled the grandest of them all to be so riddled with disaster. I always remember going by the old train station, on our way for late night tacos, and remarking how vast it was. The building was part of many a movie both old and new and I couldn't believe the state it was in. It has to be 15 stories high and two or three football fields wide. It was the epicenter of grandeur. I only saw it as a burnt out, windows blown out massive flop and crack house. It definitely provided perspective, personal and business. (It has been or was slated for demolition) People don't deserve their wealth, they work hard for it, and when the world is changing, don't feel you don't have to. It is well written about the greed of American carmakers. The individuals themselves became mightier than their industry, they lost why they did what they did. And before they knew it, 1.2 million people were gone. A lot of great things are going on in Detroit, as reported by the Economist recently, tech incubator and VC funds, urban farming, and mega millionaires seizing opportunity. Hopefully, we can one day walk through the city again and see its grandeur reborn. Hey Boris, the city has been decimated. I am sure you have read the many reasons why.
