if you ran detroit what would you do

41. how about I answer that for you.

Majority of those that are leaving, have left. the people that are here have been engaged in re-vamping our neighborhoods. those that don't know us only spend useless rhetoric. They talk about 80,000 abandoned homes. But they don't talk about the fact that 65,000 of them are owned by financial institutions. Institutions that operate and do business in the community. In a city that has been blue collar, the down turn that was experienced under Dubya made it worse. Detroit has a lot of good people and neighborhoods. Has anyone ever google earth search??? When I go to work, the streets of Detroit are busy. The people that live and work in the city may not make the best wages, but they go to work. I will admit that I was upset over the bankruptcy. Since the President has sent in federal monitors I am hoping for a little more fairness. This way if a haircut must be taken, everybody feels the pain. Because residents of this city have been feeling the pain and pulling the weight of those who no longer reside here. And for all those people who think pensions are the so called problem the average pension payout is about $20,000. Which I believe is around $1,200 a month. I guess they must be rich. Seems like a lot of people believe right wing rhetoric as gospel. And just so you know the word Sacrifice is nothing new to Detroiters and you don't have to worry about a return point if you are already there.
