Well, 313WX, the article specifically talks about Detroiters leaving due to the lack of opportunities in the city itself. And yes, there are state and regional issues that contribute to young folks leaving the state. Again, the article didn't focus on that specifically.
Specifically, it is tough for young black entrepreneurs to get seed money to start a business here in Detroit. There simply aren't organizations in Detroit, specifically black organizations, that can help these individuals. The city has a program that is awarding a number of Detroit based small businesses seed money, but it can't say it's designated for black Detroiters. It's not enough, but it's a start.
