What Detroit needs is people with money not more folks with no money.
Why doesn't Patti come back and help out if she is so concerned?
Even the clothier Patti Smith left Royal Oak after years of community service.

Best comment in that thread:

"40 years from now some curmudgeonly grande-dame of the hipsters of Detroit will mutter to the arrivistes of how the town used to be "cool" and not "closed off". Circle of Life."

Touche.
