Silliness. What happens is you funnel the socioeconomic disadvantaged into a set of towns and everyone else into others. Than you let the poor rot.
Right answer is you combine the whole economically related area into a single entity. And then the whole thing becomes viable. But that pisses of the rich white folk who moved way out to avoid the less desirable. Actually it pisses off the rich black folk too.
This however would require the authority of the State goverment which has no intention of rescuing those socioeconomic losers. ( Translates to N***** if discussed privately).
That is not happening now? why should others suffer because others suffer?
they have officially filed ;so its up to the courts now. The other night I watched european television in a discussion of similarity of Detroit to some nations like Greece. They termed it the Detroit syndrome since it started before even the recession. and was a borrowing crisis.
Beyond the cliche, what exactly will a conservative/ fiscal responsible mayor do?
He will cut spending. OK. What next? Who will move to Detroit from other places? Who will invest in Detroit?
The main problem in Detroit is long-term and flagrant corruption.
Who in their right mind wants to live in such a predatory environment? No one and that's why it has fallen so low.
The way to fix Detroit is to fix the corruption and restore trust in the government. That's not going to happen though. The corruption is getting as bad at the Federal level.

Nonsense. It is what happens when the well off and educated run.
If Christ's own apostles moved in today all they could do would be bless the body.
They are in pretty unique situation if they can get their act together. No other city in this country has the newly acquired green space they have, ever look at it from Google maps? 50 years from now Detroit could be one of the nicest cities in the country.
I live several miles out of downtown Youngstown. their buying up land a few blocks of downtown for "green space" also.. their turning them into cornfields..
Don't bet the rent money on caloifornia 'being just fine', with a devastating shortage of children on the horizon; 3,500,000+ folks have left the state in the past 20 years, and the bankruptcies in Stockton, Vallejo, & San Bernardino are just the tip of the iceberg.
Detroit never diversified its economy in the manner that thriving cities such as Houston & Pittsburgh did; Pittsburgh's civic leaders and leading businessmen, including heavyweights such as Carnegie & Mellon just to name a couple, swept the city's filthy air clear by mercilessly slamming the steel companies in a take-no-prisoners manner that the Detroit & Michigan politicians never had the guts to emulate.
Pittsburgh eventually evolved into the tech, medicine, business and medical/pharmaceutical research powerhouse that it is today, and like Houston, never experienced the 2008 real estate crash.

yeah, when high taxes, crappy gun laws, and corrupt officials, did anyone think people would not go galt?
