We all know Detroit is the butt of all city jokes in the U.S. The place is in utter disrepair, the city is huge compared to the taxes it receives--so naturally bad things started to happen. Business and economic growth don't exactly thrive in a place declared by the FBI as the murder capital of the U.S. So in your opinion, what can fix Detroit? Other than Robocop of course.

Stop voting for the democrats.

Get them to move somewhere else
Honestly I don't know they could try to become a silicon valley and get technology companies to work there
But not sure what they can really offer to attract new people

Detroit is failing because the industries there are failing. Historically, that has meant auto. How do you fix it? You need to bring jobs to the city. How do you bring jobs? You need to have a city safe for business and citizens. It's kind of a paradox that it takes resources to make a city safe, but the less safe a city is, the less resources it has as business and residents flee.

What will it take? Massive investment in the city. Whether you want that to be government or private is one question. I favor the private side. Property prices are so cheap because things are so bad, you're starting to see people willing to risk the investment to build a business or buy a house, because the upside outweighs the little loss, so the private side is starting to do its part a little. But beyond the market correcting itself, you need the city to get it together on its end too.

Hand it over to the Five Families Smiley. They have the reputation of being able to turn rundown shitholes to profitable businesses Smiley.

I am sorry, I am not constructive at all as of now. So simply, burn it to the ground, it seems to be fun to fight the fire and burning it. It may regenerate or not, who cares anyway... I can't see it from Manhattan, it doesn't exists. More seriously what do you understand by "fix", free crack?

If US Gov more concern about their people in Detroit than to send US troops to all over the world , i believe Detroit can be fixed.
Imagine how much money they spend for Irak ,Afghan and all other place in this world.
