It was a simple question, not a suggestion to choke off anything. I find it curious that merely asking "why did this problem come to exist in the first place" is met with downvotes and advice about "wealth distribution" that sounds an awful lot like trickle-down economics.
- jerf 11y agoIt is not hard to read the code words of the modern gestalt in its ever-increasing uniformity. The defense that the code words weren't really meant "that way" is ever-more feeble. And arguing about trickle-anything is irrelevant if you start with nothing to trickle in any direction, and then ensure that there continues to be nothing to trickle in any direction. You can't redistribute what isn't there. But the real point of my message is that Detroit is huge. Geographically it's much bigger than San Francisco. You can drive for 20-30 minutes at full highway speeds starting in Detroit and still be in Detroit. There's a few shoots coming up, yes, but they are still pretty small compared to what needs to be there for the city to shed its current reputation.
