Your statement is correct Rick Bell. RACE, POLITICS, SCHOOLS, POLICE AND FIRE PROTECTION will be the greatest problem if Detroit and suburbs were to be amalgamated. Race relations then poltics, city services and changes of the laws to the state boundry commission must to handled before we ever see a L.A. like Detroit with little or no suburbs and township borders.
