I guess I just don't understand what a point of an article like this is. Its obvious to everyone that most people in suburbia could give a rats ass about the city unless there's a Tiger/Lions game or a Kid Rock Show. This infighting is as old as the population decline.

People new to the area aren't really interested in this, especially the ones moving into, or at least vacationing, in the areas near downtown. They could care less about people who are still in the city or the people that have left. All they really are interested in is that the police show up when they call them.
