Why hasn't Detroit ever owned up to its urban planning blunders?

We sure like to talk out of both sides of our mouths here don't we?

On one thread we talk bout how much it sucks that the domestic auto industry is shrinking and hoe people need to "buy american" to save their jobs and on the other hand we want less cars on the road and more mass transit.

Detroit is the Motor City for a reason. If you don't like it or it's suburbs. Leave.

Public transportation sucks and always will. No matter if I am going 1 or 100 miles I would prefer to drive myself. I don't want to make a stop every quarter mile while sitting next to someone who just got done drinking a bottle of cheap wine or someone who just stinks naturally.

Walking would be fine for short distances but it's Michigan so chances are it will be too cold or too hot a lot of the time.

Uh okay, we get it. You don't like public transportation [[though I have a hard time believing that you have much experience with it). Now what does that have to do with anything? Are you saying that Detroit is a better place without a good mass transit system?
