You can throw as much money as you want at Detroit, it is not going to change the city physically which is the root cause of their problems.

You need to move to a city set up for producing hamburgers!!!
You really think nothing could have been done since the sixties to fix Detroit, because of "urban planning" in 1902 or whatever? What did they do, require people to follow the plan under penalty of death?
Do you think if the people of Gross Pointe lived there it would be as bad?
