It is. . . don't get me started. . . All the the infrastructure, the nice houses. . . Detroit has everything you need for a great city. But people don't want to live in the city, they want new houses and to live in suburbia so they keep moving farther out and developing the greenfields. When I was growing up, Hall Road, about 20 miles north of downtown Detroit, was a 2-lane road through open farm fields. Fifteen years later it was an 8-lane divided highway surrounded on both sides by miles of strip malls and giant tract houses. It's waste on an absolutely massive scale, all so people can live somehwere "nice." And 40 years from now it'll be an abandonded wasteland like Detroit as people move on to next new deveopment. It's sad.
