This isn't just a Detroit problem. Residents of just about every mid-to-high pop. city could pick a few eerily similar buildings on this site left in the very same states. Living in Ontario, Canada, I can say our situation isn't quiet as progressed as Detroit, but the cracks are definitely starting to show. I think Detroit shows signs of what is to come on a larger scale if we don't start putting people and civics as a front-and-center issue. Detroit's pain should serve as a great education and not simply thought of as a worst case scenario. Not all is lost for Detroit, as it is in a great position of pivot that would normally be masked by the bureaucracy of a "well run" city.
