I think party loyalty is detrimental no matter who you vote for. Just keep electing the best choice available and the cream will rise to the top.

Sadly people here don't always vote for the best candidate. They go for whoever is more flashy or attractive. Kwame Kilpatrick is a prime example of picking the wrong choice despite years of controversy and corruption. Same with city council. They put these crooks in charge for years and years and wonder why it's gone to shit.

Y'know were talking about Detroit right?

The best choice is a mix. Both sides aren't terrible, both sides are necessary. Unless you believe you're always right and the people who disagree with you are always wrong.

A Republican turned NYC into what it is today and probably stopped it from becoming Detroit. Not all Republicans are bad people, just like not all Democrats are good people.

It's almost as if party loyalty in general is to blame. Either side taken to the extreme is trouble, especially when you're excluding half the potential in your city/state.

Detroit just needs a radical de-annexation spree. Compress the city limits to mostly just downtown, then slowly start gentrifying outwards.

Flint's water problem wasn't one of political parties, but a death-spiral.
Failure to disconnect deadbeats means everyone else has to pay more for water, which leads to more deadbeats. Repeat until the city can't afford to pay for Detroit water anymore, has to suck water out of the river, and can't even afford the anti-corrosive additive.

You didn't quite catch what I meant. Which way people vote doesn't matter. What does matter is the kind of people they are. The latter comes first, the former stems from that and should be seen as more of a symptom than a cause.

Real talk: If people really wanted things to change they could accomplish the change through either party. Some areas are just full of shitty people regardless of political affiliation.

I think the answer is far easier. Fuck both parties and fuck trying to create change through them. You have the ability to conduct change around you. Do it yourself without worrying about politics. Sure, there are exceptions such as handicapped People and they should be taken care of. Capable people? Hold yourself accountable and the skies the limit

Detroit's had problem for years and years. All the violence goes well back into the 70's/80's with the auto industries and jobs moving out, the black and white tensions from riots etc, the bankruptcy, etc. Doesn't matter what party has its grip on the city, this goes well beyond the political stuff.

They're slowly turning it around though, little by little, which is nice to see.
