How much of Detroit must burn down before Federal troops arrive?

[313WX]

Hmm dunno about that....
Gary, IN
Youngstown OH
Cleveland OH
Toledo OH
Dayton OH
Saginaw MI
Flint MI
Pontiac MI

Have all lost more population than they now have. What do all of these cities have in common? They are all industrial cities that have not been able to reposition themselves. The only one that seems to have done allright is Pittsburgh and thats becaust they have recognized that they will never be the same as they were and moved on.

BTW, it seems you are answering your own question. Are you trolling for an arguement?

He meant major american city.

Cleveland may be an exception, but even its worst areas aren't nearly as bad as Detroit's worst areas. Plus their downtown is well ahead of our downtown in terms of a revival.

Pittsburgh knew they had to diversify their economy before their city hit rock bottom, which helped them. Detroit is just not realizing that's what it has to do as well, but it may be too little too late if it means saving Detroit as is [[a major american city).
