Who fathered/mothered Detroit's leadership culture?

It's bad, but that is quite an exaggeration which is something rather hard to do given how truly politically dysfunctional the region is. lol

Well, yeah. I'm not comparing scale, just general method. I'm just saying their is a natural reaction and progression to a collapse. Detroit's corruption was not created by a person or persons, rather Detroit's situation made and makes it a natural attractor of corrupt individuals and parties. And Detroit's problems will only be quelled when there are enough people that have a interest in it being a desirable city to live and work in again, and less people able to benefit from it's corruption.
