Sad story. Mean House pricing at $7,500. 1000 people per month leaving. Massive layoffs coming from the big three.

Let me inject some hope to detroit. We things are cheap, there is always some company willing to move there if the enviroment is right. The question to ask is, what would intice companies to move to your city?
Cheap housing would make workers happy. A tax bases that is low will always bring people. You still have two major league teams. The goal is now to sell people on the city and make it easy for things to be done. This does not have to end in tears.
