That is a valid question. Why rebuild Detroit when there are other cities who are in much better shape financially and structurally. There are abandoned towns all over the mid-west and west coast. They were abandoned when the gold ran out, when the trains bypassed them, when the interstate was built. Detroit, AFAICT, is a manufacturing town in an era where manufacturing is no longer being done. At least not by humans. Robots don't care where they are situated (in the city or in the desert) and don't pay taxes.

- zenocon 13y agoI beg to differ. I think it is an asinine question (hence my "then just nuke it" quip below.) What's the alternative for the people that live here / have lived here a long time. They have history here, livelihood, businesses, family, roots... The people that live here will rebuild it, and they/we are. Armchair social engineering isn't really required or desired.
