Where does that investment in quality of life come from? Taxes. An already low tax base is struggling to support even the most minimum of service.I don't have the numbers to support it, but I feel as if Detroit has the highest non-profit per capita ratio in the nation. We don't need more non-profits competing for finite resources. This additional strain on what little funding is available prevents funds from making it to the streets.Detroit, stop organizing and start doing.
