"Why I Hate Detroit"

[BankruptcyGuy]

Count me in the minority, but I didn't think this article was all that insightful. Detroit has crime, poor schools, and a lack of development outside of downtown. I don't think that's news, nor is it unique.

I spent a fair amount of time in Chicago. Outside of the nice neighborhoods, it was a disaster. Now it's degenerated into a war zone. CPS is horrible, and might soon follow the City of Detroit into bankruptcy.

That's not to knock Chicago, only to point out that many, many cities have the same problems.

Perhaps the answer to the author's question is "Because I Really Haven't Been Anywhere Else."

Well it is kind of unique for all the glowing commentary on Detroit right now. Its a good reminder of what's really out there. Instead everyone is focused on the latest new restaurant. Not how engage the neighborhoods and general citizen with the turnaround.

That is my opinion of it as well.
