The city America left behind

I at one point lived in a suburb of Detroit (Novi), which hides the reality of what is really going on in the area. Mansions, schools that look like malls, and happy people. Stark white to pitch black, blazing red to bright green, however you term it, the difference is seen by driving down Michigan Ave, until it looks like a bomb went off, homeless people abound, and gun shots in the air, picture Gotham city, but even dirtier. A mayor who squanders the money, as the poor are squashed deeper into the depths of Detroit's drug and prostitution rings. I have a hard time believe that this city will ever recover, its residents are too battered to care.
