Lowell, the term "landfill" would imply that the state is actively moving the problems into Detroit to get them out of other areas. The consensus on DetroitYes seems to be that problems are moving out of Detroit to the inner ring suburbs and that the "oh so special" arts, music, and culture types are moving in and revitalizing Detroit.
