Exactly Mwilbert, that is why the city considers them jewels and does not want to give them up, because they bring money into the city from the feds and state. Obviously this is beyond the ability of some on this board to understand. The reasons the homeless are in Detroit are a) no one else is, b) the city lets them stay. This could be acknowledged and discussed, but it is much easier to use the homeless as a tool to rail against the surrounding region and blame those regions for Detroit's problems.
