Of course it is impossible to predict the distant future, but the critical thing is to answer this question: why will people choose to live in Detroit in the future? That is to say, what will Detroit offer that other places will not?

So far, sadly, the leadership of Detroit has not chosen to discuss such an issue. If that trend continues, then there is no stopping the exodus and Detroit could end up almost completely wiped out.

There is hope, but only if the so-called leaders step up to the plate and begin to describe a viable future for Detroit. I have been waiting to hear this discussion for many years. Hopefully it will begin sometime soon.
