    Default Why doesn't ANYBODY mention the elephants in the room? Crime & illiteracy

    Is it not PC to mention that white and black flight was sparked by and was a reaction [[escape) to crime? And please tell me how Detroit can ever come back when it's a city of hundreds of thousands of functionally illiterate citizens -- many of which don't want to work? How can politics or auto makers or unions make people control their impulse to rob and shoot each other or force adults to learn to read and go to a 9-5 Monday through Friday? Nothing I've read has placed any accountability on the citizens of the city.

    The Detroit Regional Workforce Fund found that 47 percent of the city's residents are "functionally illiterate."
