Great find!

Really interesting.

This changes my perception of the word decay. See it in a really positive light. Nothing lasts for ever. Everything follows universal principles of birth, growth and death... even Detroit.

THIS WOMAN WANTS THE UN TO KEEP DETROIT FROM SHUTTING OFF PEOPLE'S WATER

Do you think the federal government should be intervening and bailing out Detroit?
I do. We need to look at Detroit; it's the face of the future if we don't stop privatizing and deregulating and cutting money and funding—federal and state and provincial funding—to infrastructure and social security. Detroit is going to be the first, but not the last, city that goes bankrupt and has no facility to protect or take care of its people. It's the canary in the coal mine and I think we really need to see it that way.

I don't know man, I say go the other way. No federal regs at all. No federal law. You wanna see how many people flock there? You wanna see how efficient services are?

But Detroit is a relic city of a relic industry. If you want to live there, that is fine, but you are going to have to live without running water, or any other social services. It is over. You are free to live there, but why would you?
