See, if I were Detroit, I'd be unhappy. The New Orleans area had to have one good hurricane on target, catch part of another, and get heavily flooded to lose all those people. Detroit simply had to be its own sweet self.

Detroit... the cold, the corruption, the decay. Its driving people out faster than Jenny Granholm can shout "new service taxes!"

You would think a declining population would make it harder to defraud elections year after year but the GOP still rolls over and lets it happen.

The Democrats now control the Michigan House. The Republicans control the Senate. The Democrats are looking at fewer seats in their strongholds. To make up the losses, the remaining RINOs will probably be gerrymandered out of existence.

It is easy for those unfamiliar with the region to lump all the burbs and counties in with Detroit.

Wayne, Macomb, & Wastenaw counties (and others) are all feeling the seismic changes occurring with the big three.

Think of it this way, some folks commute an hr or greater to get to their auto related job site. Flint is feeling it too, that is quite a drive from Detroit.

Many some folks should look at a map of South East Michigan to really get a feel for what is going on.

Oops, sorry. It's Boong Soo Han, “Dr. Klahn”, from the “A Fistful of Yen” segment of Kentucky Fried Movie (1977).

It's decay alone. Cold and corruption doesn't drive people out of Chicago.

I guess the Muzzles will have to up their immigration rate.

Yeah, and the only reason Detroit is behind New Orleans in population loss is that a lot of the New Orleans refugees moved to Detroit.

Maybe it's the good conservatives that are leaving.

ahh.. looked like some kind of classic cult classic but I didn't recognize it. I went and found the clip on Youtube. What is the threat of Detroit about? Does Detroit has some double-meaning in this movie or it Detriot just supposed the horror-filled place that most of us see it as today?

1. Almost every car company in the world has design studios in Southern California.

2. Ford's luxury division is in Southern California.

3. I sold a house a couple of years ago, to an engineer leaving General Morors and Detroit, for a better job with Huyndai in guess where? Southern California.

4. New plants for US, Japanese and German makers are all over North America, except Detroit.

5. GM's latest rear wheel drive chassis are from their Australian subsidiary, Holden; not Detroit.

I have never been to Detroit, but these trends indicate an area in transition or decline. Time will tell, if transition is made.
