The fact is, not many people want to live around folks who may shoot them to death because they looked at them wrong, because they asked them to quiet their music down, or visit retailers where seedy-looking people are lurking around all day.
NOBODY productive wants to live around illiterate, do-nothing, criminals. Perhaps the Chicago model of containing the crime and poverty to certain areas could work in Detroit but Chicago has a much larger population and an exponentially more robust economy to make up for the leeches and their costs.
