Why do we use this board? What good does it do? I have personally looked for advice and inspiration, but I find it laced with skepticism and insults. What I've mostly wanted to get a feel for is when will the tide turn? At what point have we hit rock bottom and have begun to find our natural level? We will never be the Detroit of the industrial age, but at point will we start to see the kind of optimism on this board that indicates that we have found our comfortable stride or is this our place in society: a deteriorating city with full of skeptics, separatists, and haters. What's the tipping point and how do we use detroityes to turn the corner towards positive growth?
