I also have to ask, how do you know crime is outta control? You don't live here and probably only spent very little time here? What are you going on here? How do you compare this crime to other cities you never lived in and never been to?

And as nice as these suburbs supposedly are, you guys still come to detroit more than we come up there. Every now and then, once in a blue moon, I may go up to RO/Ferndale but the suburbs I like are pontiac (has some good nightlife), inkster (a lot of friends here), hamtramck (interesting area in general), highland park (a lot of friends, some good food joints), harper woods (got some business in the area) and occasionally I'll go to grosse pointe and buy groceries at kroger (don't buy groceries nearly enough).

However, you guys come down here to chill in our downtown and drop your money in our casinos. You come to our university (wayne). You come for games, shows, concerts. You come to our neighborhoods to buy drugs. You need us more than we need you, and that's just a fact.

Where are Detroiters moving to?

My posts generate anger from several posters in here and considering what I am saying I guess I expect that. However just because you dont like what I am saying does not mean I am going to quit saying it. You people in Detroit destroyed one of the largest cities in the country and I think you should be held accountable for that. The conditions down there are ridiculous and everyone knows they are.

It's not popular because most Americans are stupid and believe whatever they see in pop-culture. Oops, not only Americans, the rest of the world too.

What is the significance of an 80%+ black city, with a black mayor and all black city council? Are you saying these other cities without this are better?

The point being...sooner or later you have to drop this race baiting / race card show and just accept that even African Americans have dumb / stupid people (aka politicians) who are destroying their cities and it ain't because they are BLACK--it is because they are STUPID, GREEDY and MANIPULATIVE IDIOTS.

Detroit is in the situation it is today because of bad management by stupid politicians.

And that list of 45 cities includes populations over 50,000. How many cities have Native American, Asian, and other under represented folks as mayors?

Does having a black mayor and city council create a problem? A black mayor cannot function without a black council?

Listen most politicians are crooked, corrupt and out for themselves in this nation. To deny that race isn't apart of why a city with mostly white politicans and population can survive while a city with mostly black politicians and population is the biggest problem in this country. Think about all of the cities that have major problems and are highly looked down on and struggling more than most and tell me that these cities are run by white poeple and I'll show you a lie

and in no way am I insuinating that these politicians are the way they are because they are black
