Of course, making the argument that in the long run a vital urban center would be in the best interest of their constituents is way over their heads.

I shake my head when suburbanites damn the people of Detroit for the leaders they elect when the suburban politicians are little better, perhaps even more short-sighted.
Exactly......besides Patterson has been a loose cannon for years, he does nothing except pander to the ballot box. Sure every politician does that to an extent, IMHO Patterson is only me me me me me.
