And then there's the racial divide, and all of the accumulated historical and political resentments, which are still much worse in the Detroit area than anywhere else in the U.S. I've ever been. Chicago is a deeply racially divided city with a difficult racial history, but you don't have people commonly referring to the core city with racial epithets the way you do here. And while Chicago and the rest of the state of Illinois have not always had a friendly relationship, you don't have a state politics that so often devolves to blaming and isolating "those people" and underfunding the big city the way we do in Michigan.
