Detroit: Making All The Wrong Headlines

It seems that no news from Detroit is good news. Detroit: Good place to live, or bad place to live? The worst by far, according to its own people: Metro Detroit lost more than 27,300 people in the last two years; to compare, only five other metro areas in the entire country lost more than 5000--Pittsburgh and Cleveland among them. Detroit's loss was more than three times the loss experienced by any other metro area. At least they have that nice new river walk. One wonders how they expect to keep maintenance up on all those nice public works with revenue steadily declining and all that widespread corruption.
