What's sad is that I could probably write a list of at least 100 of these people who were born, reared, and educated in SE Michigan. Some of them attended our state universities; others, out of state. Almost none of them see any future for themselves, their families, their careers, or their dreams in this state.
That is why I think our only hope is to promote incentives for immigrants to set up their own neighborhoods, analogous to SW Detroit. I'm tired of the status quo. Something must change.
