We need a mayor that will just let the city hit rock bottom. Once the city hits rock bottom it can rebuild. Problem is we have mayor after mayor that try to slow up the falling, but only cause the city to fall faster. To mitigate that they lower the bottom so the city never hits that. As long as there is another level lower that Detroit can fall to, it will.

We just need to accept at this point Detroit is one big gigantic FAILURE. It's failed, it's done, there's no fixing it. This is a situation that needs to be started over from scratch. I have no hope that this city outside of a few neighborhoods will ever stablize or rebound in my lifetime.
