Uh, no it isn't. My comment is about people living in suburban Detroit who wonder why Detroit matters. That is the answer to their question. Again, your statement is irrelevant.

oooh , ok, just so I'm clear. As long as I move out of suburban Detroit/SeM, I don't bear any responsibility for "the legacy costs of what my parents built in Detroit"?

Will you still be paying taxes to the state of Michigan if you move out of Michigan?

Unlikely... but that doesn't mean I'm absolved of all blame when, by leaving, I've directly contributed to the problem of wholesale abandonment of the city and region.

Yes, that I do. You have no stake in this region and thus are in no position to lecture anyone about any choices they have made. You not only quit on detroit, you quit on the entire state. you as much as any person who moved "to 42 mile" bear responsibility for the current state of affairs.
