We don't have traffic jams and congestion out here. That's a Detroit problem.

Detroit has a higher millage than any suburb. We control our tax rates out here.

Are they happy that their kids can't afford to live in the same town in which they grew up?
Kids do live in the same town in which they grew up, unlike Detroit.

Are they happy that waterways are so full of E. coli bacteria, that the beaches are closed for half the season?
And there wouldn't be health problems if 4.4 million people lived in the city of Detroit?

Yeah, it's most certainly the role of government to manage fiscal outlays of public monies in a prudent manner, and to preserve property values. The creation and preservation--By Any Means Necessary--of continued suburbanization and easy motoring throughout the metropolis on the part of Detroit and the State of Michigan hasvebeen a colossal failure in this regard.
According only to the few.
