Detroit Council proposing drastic cuts to various city services

[Novine]

San Diego, CA is a perfect example of a large city run by Republicans that's run itself into a fiscal disaster. I believe the current Council is now majority Democrats but for years, the Mayor and Council majority were Republicans.

I don't think you can make a comparison with Detroit no matter when and how badly they ran it [[if they did) because since 1969 to 2010 the San Diego population rose from 682,000 to 1.2 Million and the recent murder rate was 29 per year.

Running your city into bankruptcy is OK as long as no one gets killed?

You must be joking to ask such a question. Of course it is. You can recover from bankruptcy.

Not necessarily. All bankruptcies aren't the same.

I doubt Detroit [[as is) will recover from a bankruptcy.
