Why can't Detroit annex neighbouring cities to regain its population?

[Danny]

That's an interesting way to put it, have the suburbs take over Detroit.

And since there is so much negativity associate with "Detroit", let's call the whole shebang Farmington Hills.

But that calls for the amalgamation for Detroit and suburbs in which it would not happen. Now this messages brings up back to square one. Everyone should follow the rules and regulation of thr State Boundry Comission and Michigan Township Charter Act of 1947 or have the power to change it. Talking about having the amalgamation of Detroit and suburbs will not change or appeal the laws. It takes community action through signing petitions. We Americans govern the land, not just the politicians. If you all want a better community or a supercity, change the laws. We Americans change slave abolishments, African Americans and Womens voting rights, prohibition of alcoholic beverages, civil rights and we can change annextion laws.

As for right now, Detroit and the suburbs remains divided and most people who are living in those cities, townships and villages like it that way.
