Why hasn't Detroit ever owned up to its urban planning blunders?

Nothing. which is my point. The region will likely massively shrink, eventually settle to a natural equilibrium and become just another backwater, 4th tier, has-been region.

I'm not advocating for it, I'm just pointing out reality.

Excuse me.. .by "Detroit" I was speaking of the international family of communities., not just Detroit proper.

50 years of retarded regional urban planning are not going to be reversed by a street level people mover on Woodward that might get built 25 years from now.

Well, what you were saying before is that the suburbs don't have much use for Detroit proper. Now you're acknowledging that while the suburban communities might function as if they don't have use for Detroit, in reality the fate of their continued existence is tied to the viability of Detroit. Because the viability of Detroit is why the region exists in the first place. Right?

So your point may have been that the Detroit area is past its expiration date, but that isn't what you were saying.
