I remember hearing that Detroit was tearing down blocks where no one lived and making parks. It reduced the urban blight and made more green space for people to play? Was that a city fluff piece, or is there some hope?

Hate to say this ... but I saw miles of torn down buildings ... weeds as high as your knees in July ...

Sorry, but you heard PR spin .. like everything else today.

Agreed. I was also born and raised in Detroit. I always compare Detroit to Stalingrad in 1944 (that comparison isn't too far off). If people knew what that city looked like, they'd be completely shocked to see these types of conditions existing in America.

You are RIGHT on the money!

I am grateful that some of the buildings are torn down...whole blocks are like urban prairie.

There is no hope for that city.

Except for the spirit of several leaders I mentioned earlier ... we will see what happens
