Otherwise, I don't see why Detroit shouldn't be able to set a policy requiring everyone that it employs to live within its borders.
It might be unconstitutional to set residency requirements. But it's not unconstitutional to set two different income tax classes. In theory, they could set tax rates for non-residents to be prohibitively high and for residents to be much lower as an incentive.

And they could also set a 4-year phase-in period. So it's not like you have to move out tomorrow.

And trust me...the only reason why I'm bringing this up isn't because Joann Watson said it. It's because Orr is now in charge. And if Orr says to Snyder, "Look...I don't think this is fixable without a major cut in structural expenses combined with a giant infusion of capital to accomplish the restructuring"...then it might open the door to options that didn't exist before.

I'm not even saying I'm in favor of it. But just talking out loud about pro's and con's.
