No, none of these roads are remotely congested. They are all basically free-flowing compared to other major cities around the world.
One can get from downtown Detroit to Troy in 20 minutes. During rush hour, no less.
Yes, it's called home rule. Voters get to decide on their school systems. The State doesn't run the schools, and the Feds don't control the police like in corrupt Detroit.
And no subdivisions are constructed "willy-nilly". Every suburban jurisdiction has a zoning code.
Yes, they do. I have many friends in their 20's who own homes in suburbs like Troy, Rochester Hills, and Birmingham.
I have no idea how you can "assure" the health of lakes based on some arbitrary development boundary.
Gee, if your Detroit-only 140 square mile scenario were further condensed into a superconcentrated 10 miles approximating the slums of Mumbai, I "assure" you that the Detroit River would be drinkable and moose would roam 6 Mile Road.
