Detroit's future is not dependant on the Downtown area.  Rather the local
neighborhoods are what the city needs to survive.  It is difficult to build
a buisness on Lunch traffic.  The stadiums were a waste of money.  Small
microloans could have gone alot further to improving the city or even
clearing vacant lots and burned out cars from the streets.  I don't like
the
way the city is heading, but at least there is a vision inmind.
