I have to agree with you. I was born and raised in Detroit and the lack of civilized people is what is prevalent. People just don't seem to care about anything except their immediate needs and will do anything to satisfy them. In 2008, only 24.9% of kids graduated from high school. What does that say about parents as well as the teachers? At one point in a 15 day period of time, the murder rate was 32 victims. The people of Detroit are its greatest enemy and driving it to extinction from the inside out. Detroit is committing suicide. Pouring more money into it is not the answer. The answer lies in refusing to support a thug culture. When there is no respect for human life and a refusal to look to the future for the sake of the children and creating and preserving a decent history for them, all is lost. Wake up Detroit! If you want to turn around the economics, start giving your city the label of the safest city in America instead of the most crime ridden city in America. I guarantee you, get rid of the drug/thug culture, then make it a place of peace and harmony and you will thrive.
