This is a good move indeed. This should have been done years ago, now we just need a real city council.

It won't be no coucil by districts if Governor Snyder, the Nerd appoints a Emergency Manager.

Exactly , just think if the neighborhoods had representation years ago how nice they probably would be now,city council members must live in and fight for their district if they do not then they get voted out by the residents that are in the district . It gives the voice back to the residents provided they speak up.

It's almost like making seven different cities, but it'd all be one big city. I think this is going to do a lot to rebuild Detroit if this is done correctly. Now we need to get going on mass transit.

Just eyeballing these, the third one seems the most logical to me in terms of which areas are put together. It has the fewest votes in the poll, though.

Ditto. The way the neighborhoods are grouped seems to be more closely tied to how those neighborhoods historically have tended to identify with each other anyway. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
