Do People Hate Detroit?

[313WX]

I don't people hate Detroit, rather people hate what Detroit has become. The vast majority on this forum knew a Detroit that was always spoken in the same breath as cities such as New York and Chicago. To see what it has become now would fuel a lot of resentment. I mean, many Detroiters have to drive through miles of blight everyday where they once lived, walked around, shopped played and to see it all gone in such a short amount of town is devastating.


As far as how people across the country feel about the city, recently I think people feel so sorry for Detroit to the point where it's not evne worth joking about the city any more. People are also wondering what the heck is in Detroit and Michigan's water, given the condition Detroit [[the state's largest city) is in and the legislative actions that have taken place in Lansing.

I think there's a lot of truth to that bolded phrase. At some point we all identify with each other and so can no longer stand to watch the suffering of others.

No. People, who have not lost their humanity, do not hate Detroit.
