"Detroit News poll: Crime drives Detroiters out; 40% expect to leave in 5 years "

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!
C'mon, turn that frown upside down!

"Having lived through a couple of Detroit's "comebacks" or whatever they were called at the time"

I've posted my opinion before, and I'll repeat myself. Until you have the area secured, and a conscientious government in place actually concerned with developing a liveable City, you have pie in the sky. I'm glad some new businesses are moving in, and youngsters are discovering City living for the first time. I wish everyone the best of luck. But I too have Stood Up And Told Them I'm From Detroit, Have Said Nice Things About Detroit, Had a Good Time In Detroit, Believed In Detroit, and I don't see enough improvement to warrant staying and continuing fighting the good fight. It always seems to go one step forward and two steps back.
