How do you know everyone in Dearborn lives north? This is probably the most Bham-centric post ever. I'm sure some live downriver, west Wayne, downtown Detroit. Not everyone lives north.

Their staffing does tend to live north. The Southfield Freeway was built basically to ferry Ford execs from their homes to their workplace. Most employees tend to live in Oakland County, or in the NW corner of Wayne [[Northville/Plymouth/Canton).

In any case, won't ever move. They own the land, are so heavily intertwined with Dearborn, and their employees just have to deal. There are worse things in life than a long commute.

There is no point in moving to the city. Everything is concentrated in Dearborn.

If you want to point fingers, point them at Chrysler. They moved from Highland Park to the middle of nowhere Auburn Hills and left their former home in ruins.

Improved regional transport should link Dearborn to the City, making living in the city more viable for Ford employees.
