Not to be sarcastic, but you should move. I was on the phone with one of my cousins who moved to Texas back in '95. He was telling me that when he moved to Texas it was the first time he could feel safe and not have to look over his shoulders every 5 minutes. The economy in Detroit is not going to turn around now that the Big 3 have had to shed 50% of their employees and cut the wages of those who remain. There is no future here without an industry. I say if you've experienced this kind of bad luck then leave while you can.
