Detroit's Problem is a Lack of Job, Not Too Much Gentrification

[mwilbert]

It's not a lack of jobs,.. it's a lack of anyone that can DO a job.

I'm a business owner in Detroit,.. and I tried for 11 years to find anyone that could mow lawn. Finally had to hire a company from the burbs to do it.

Can't dispute your experience, but people come by asking to mow the lawn all the time. Also shovel snow. Not all are equally good at it, but certainly some of them do a good job.
