Detroit is a beautiful city, stop pissing on it!...or just get out.
I did get out, after the city failed to deliver what I was owed (through obscenely high property tax, income tax and my committment to own and maintain property in the city). Namely, they didn't fix the street lights, they didn't pick up the garbage, they didn't fix the sidewalks, they didn't fix the storm drain that destroyed the sidewalks after "I" fixed them, they didn't have a cop to send to my B&E in progress while there was on cop at each corner of the intersection of Monroe and Randolph shooing the winos away from the suburbanites. After being the victim of multiple felonies on multiple occasions in the city, I earned the right to **** on Detroit as much as I want.

Detroit is NOT a beautiful city. It's a foul, nasty, dying city, except for one small part downtown. You can not separate downtown from the rest of the city. More Detroiters live in the "other" Detroit than live downtown. Those Detroiters are due adequate city services. For the taxes we paid, we were due OUTSTANDING city services.

The policy of writing off the majority of Detroiters in favor of a downtown miracle is nothing new. It's been going on in cycles for the past two or three generations. None of the "love" ever made it past the New Center Area or Corktown.

I'm still in Wayne County, which is all the dues I need to pay, as if I need to pay any, to ***** about Detroit.
