What makes you think Detroit has "high crime". I mean, Detroit has always been "high crime" relative to other midwest cities its size. But for years now I've only read that crime has been dropping in Detroit, probably largely due to the exodus of people who left/are leaving. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/metro-detroit/2015/01/03/violent-crimes-decline-detroit/21237927/ http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/metro-detroit/20... There are lots of ways Detroit can be rebuilt. I've had a day dream of a group of tech savy anarchist bakers gathering their artist and programmer friends and all agreeing to move in and take over a neighborhood. They have startup meetings about how to start your own startup meeting. They open unicycle repair shops and community centers with classes on mustache grooming and DIY toilet bowls. Tony Hsieh comes to visit and is jealous. But then they have kids and realize their Montessori school run by "Uncle Randy" has failed to teach their children how to add. The sewer lateral line running from their DIY toilet bowl to the city line is leaking shit, there is no insurance, and it doesnt matter, because the city lines are leaking shit too. And, they are sick of taking three buses to get to Trader Joes which takes up the whole Saturday they could otherwise spend being in an adult kick ball team. More likely, the real estate keeps dropping until a developer gathers a group of Chinese investors to buy it. They lure in a big employer near by and build a big depressing mega-business-plex. They talk the state into giving some funds and other towns are ok with it because they're hoping it will lure "urban" people back to the city. But in my heart I hope it is allowed to decay and that the ruins it leaves behind are beautiful and remind us of a time when we needed all the humans to work.
