Windsor, Ont. — A city synonymous...

Violent crime in general has been down across the country. This is largely due to a smaller percentage of the total population being within their prime crime-committing years. It will likely go up...

73 fast food restaurants in 139 square mile city of over 800,000 people is hardly a lot. Downtown Toronto easily has over 100 fast food restaurants in about 4 square miles. Hell, the food courts...

Wealthy people should put their money where their mouth is.

By contrast, Montreal, a city of more than 1.6 million people, has had ZERO pedestrian deaths this year:

People in all cities jaywalk, etc.

The difference is that Detroit has streets that are poorly-designed for pedestrians. For one thing, they are WAY too wide for the amount of traffic they carry,...

There are lots of Targets and Walmarts that are on two floors.

Exactly. Almost all of the city of Detroit's main streets have excess capacity [[are too wide). In some cases they could cut the number of lanes in half and they would still be able to handle the same...

No. The simple fact that one CAN cycle or walk on existing roadways doesn't make them complete streets. That is not the definition of a complete street.

I hope you're being sarcastic son. If you don't know what a complete street is, educate yourself instead of showing your ignorance:

I've been to Amsterdam three times, and I can assure you it is not decaying. In fact it's healthier than any major American city.

You're right. Illegal dope is bad for everybody, BECAUSE it's illegal. That's why it needs to be legalized.

Utter nonsense

I didn't need to read the article. The quote in question was included in the first post of this thread. That is what everyone was whining about.

That's great, but it's not what I asked.

I asked how they could have mentioned that someone opened fire injuring nine people at the event six years ago. Your long response with addressing my...

I didn't read the article, but from that quote, they are saying that the event happened, and that viewing in Windsor is popular since then. They are not saying that viewing in Windsor is popular...

How is it a dumb comment? Windsor is a popular place to watch the fireworks from now, and they explain WHY that is.

I guess they should have just ignored it. In fact, stop reporting negative news,...

Exactly how is it "gratuitous". It's not like the detailed the exact nature of the injuries.

How, IYO, COULD they have mentioned that someone opened fire and injured nine people in a less...

So you're complaining for them mentioning something that actually happened?

I'd hate to see your response if they completed fabricated something like this.
