Troy City Government is going BANKRUPT by 2016.

I've worked in Troy for almost 15 yrs and it's a ghost town compared to a decade ago.
I view Troy as one of the most pro-business communities around the metro area and if austerity doesn't work for them why would it work anywhere else?

Right, Troy is a ghost town even though its population has grown considerably over the last 15 years, and has established the most desirable shopping complex in the Midwest.

And, let me guess, Detroit is a boomtown in spite of the massive concurrent population and business losses?

Such a predicatbale troll.. You will go to no end to defend your fanaticism with sprawl. The conversation here isn't about the city of Detroit, it's about the city of Troy, a posterchild for suburban Oakland County. Why can't you admit when you are wrong? Your nauseating one-sidedness damns your credibility to hell.

LOL.

If you think I'm a "fanatical troll" because I happen to cite official Census data when someone else claims Troy has become a ghost town, so be it.

You obviously have no use for peer reviewed research or government sanctioned data. It's obviously all lies, promulgated by "fanatical trolls".

I suspect austerity would work very well on Wall Street. Doubt that's going to happen without radical reforms though. Corruption, tolerated, grows.
