In a conversation I had yesterday about the city; I started to drifted off into thought about how Detroit in it's current conditions as a huge class project. One huge class of 700,000 students enrolled in the class, all working on the same project; Detroit. Of course people are working in different groups; I tend to think of these groups as different organizations, corporations, non-profits, small business, college students, young professionals, movements, community groups etc.

With this project, no one is right or wrong, everyone gets and "A" because you simply participated and contributed in some way to make things better.
