“Sure, the city’s in bankruptcy. Detroit is flat broke. Pensioners are about to lose their livelihoods, and Southeast Michigan has sailed over the precipice of financial ruin. All of this happened while the Council continued, for decades, to squawk at each other,” conservative columnist Robert Laurie wrote.

“Outsiders were portrayed as the source of the city’s ills as the council continued on its path to ruin,” Laurie said.“Everything that occurred within Detroit’s borders was blamed on something outside of Motown. Theft was the fault of the national economy. Poverty was the result of American racial norms. Violence was simply a reaction to hostile suburbanites.”

According to city crime statistics, there have been 176 homicides in the first seven months of 2013. There have been 5,853 aggravated assaults and the city has processed 1,766 guns. Those numbers are actually an improvement from 2012 which saw a total of 411 homicides, up from 377 in 2011. Last year came in as the second deadliest year per capita in Detroit’s history behind 1987

Leadership comes with responsibility and one of those responsibilities is community safety. It is quite evident that though these "leaders" enjoy their full-time well compensated positions they join the "leaders" of other urban areas who are unfit to lead a boy scout troop, much less lead a community.

The city’s state-appointed emergency manager Kevyn Orr noted in the court filing that the city needed to tackle widespread blight, including many abandoned homes and other buildings. More than a third of its buildings are abandoned, he said, and 40 percent of its residents now live in poverty.

I guess there is no better summary of a community than when more people vote with their feet and get the hell out than vote at the ballot box.

Obviously the fault of conservative Republicans who left and allowed the parasites to kill the host.

The fault can clearly be seen as that of anyone anywhere other than the people who actually live and vote there
