Media giant buys Detroit home for reporters to track city

[dove-7]

Unfortunately, the good people of Detroit, the ones who still care what happens in their City, will have to suffer again because of the criminal element that exists in Detroit. It won't be local news either....this will make it more widespread news than ever, Time Magazine has a huge circulation....actually, worldwide. There is no hope for a Detroit recovery anytime in the near future....not until there are enough police to patrol the streets, enough courtrooms to hear the cases, enough juries to convict criminals and enough jail cells to house them. OR, until the thugs see that all they are doing is killing each other, driving citizens out, and wake up and see the error of their ways. Does anyone think that will happen?

No it won't happen until some of you get off of your soap box and stop putting a big magnifying glass on one issue and start looking at multiple issues. Funny, I haven't been on this site multi-years and the same ole circular arguments on why Detroit won't make it continues and humors me.

As both a once resident of the metro and now a resident of Bay area Cali. it gives me an opportunity to see things from both inside and outside; but that's nothing new, I've lived in other major cities before the Cali. transition.

Detroit's demise has been going on way before the crime issue, "thug crime" is just one of many 'criminal' elements that plaque Detroit. Your biggest "criminal" issue is the politics in your State. Always have been and seem like, always will be.

Oakland and San Francisco has major crime, but the cities still thrive. There are gangs here and murders happen here frequent. We just had another child missing in the past two to three months; you can put million cops in Detroit to protect the non existing tourist, jobs etc. but until they change the dated control of how things should work, the economy will continue to suck, transit will suck, auto industry sucks; the irony of that is the one that suck major, is the only one that is doing well out of the Big three. Ford Motors. Ironic too is your name, 'Buy American.' That Buy American crappy 'crap' is why Detroit's auto industry is in the toilet and part of the reason why the transit can't flourish. Sell better made cars and people will buy and not buy into "we'll sell you what you need and not what you want." Hence why people have finally wised up and they need a bail out while flying on private jets. It's the type of thinking, including your post that prevent Detroit from prospering.

Those examples and other examples that I haven't posted are playing major roles in Detroit's demise.
