The serious question that interests me: Can anyone, or any government, fix #Detroit?
@Hesiod2k11 Not really. Big cities have guaranteed tax bases & #Detroit had plenty. Bad management misused all that money.

@DavidMDrucker - Michigan cities are heavily dependent on state revenue sharing, which has been slashed. Even well-run cities are hurting -
@Hesiod2k11 Same is true in CA. Not an excuse. My opinion.

@DavidMDrucker - Detroit's tax base shrank by 300%. Do you even know WTF you're talking about? -
@Hesiod2k11 My opinion is that it shrank due to mismanagement. As opposed to the money just drying up one day. We disagree; that's fine. -
@DavidMDrucker - No. The mismanagement followed the money problems.
