If you were 22-26 yo, would you move to Detroit RIGHT NOW? Why?

Most of the 20-something college educated people I know couldn't give a **** about rebuilding a city. They want to work, make money, have fun and be around like minded people NOW. Rebuilding a city is a nobel thing, I guess, but a very small fraction of 20-somethings care about wasting their life away on such an effort.

To them it's not "wasting" their lives. They want to be here, they want to affect change. Detroit needs 10k more of them.

I really don't get the hostility.

You have one life on Earth. College graduates willingly spending the most exciting time of their life in what is currently literally the worst major city in the country is hard for me to comprehend.

which raises the question; why the hell are you spending your 20s in Birmingham? Talk about wasting your 20s.
