Detroit is the canary in the coal mine. Pretty soon all our big cities will look like Motown.

While some of Detroit's problems are economic, a lot of Detroit's problems come from outright poor planning and foresight, which is an issue most major cities in the country don't seem to face.

If Detroit was planned right, it would still probably be somewhat smaller than Philadelphia and comparable to Chicago.

When I went to see the Trailer Park Boys at Redford Theater in 2010 at the end of the show Mike Smith told the audience "Thank you so much, Detroit. You are the greatest city in the United States of America." Bubbles likes Detroit the best. So there.
