Is it too late to save Detroit?

Thank you. I agree with everything you've said above. The problem is that Detroit's suburbs have been comparing themselves to the city of Detroit instead of comparable suburban communities around the nation.

Many of Detroit's suburbs are amongst the safest cities in the nation. Jobs are coming back [[I have a working friend in engineering who has had three offers for interviews in the last week or so). I would say it's more likely we're witnessing the bottom because a) the economy was in the pits, and b) more people are realizing the importance of regional cooporation than ever. My opinion is that the worst days are behind, and a slow recovery [[with hiccups) is in the future. There's just too much talent, beautiful architecture, and geographical advantages for us to not succeed.

Saying it's too late to save Detroit is absurd.
