In a magical world they would all be distributed proportionally among all the suburbs and Detroit would get well overnight. But that's impossible.

You say we need new solutions but offer none. I have.
The city of Houghton, Michigan [[up in da YooPee) has a lower median family income than Detroit [[$23,912 versus $26,955) according to the census bureau.
