Bankruptcy related but I started a new thread since the existing BK one is more about the logistics of the filing.

I keep reading comments how Detroit will get worse before it gets better, one of the big impacts will be a hit to the perception of Detroit, etc.

Is it just me or does it seems like these people have never been here:

1. Perception getting worse? Honestly, is that even possible?
2. The residents will suffer and services will get worse, really? We have transit that is horrific and likely can't get worse, streetlights can't really get worse, PD response and closure rates are non-existent, etc.

I'm curious if these commentators have actually asked residents about the services and what could truly get worse as far as service delivery and perception. Are PD response times going to go from 58 minutes to an hour? Are buses going to go from being an hour late to 2 hours late.

I understand the discussion but damn media, have some real perspective of the actual services before you start making proclamations.

End rant.
