#11"According to Basketball Reference, Coleman made more than $87 million during his 15 year career with the Nets, 76ers, Hornets, and Pistons. But now he has only about $1 million in assets, including a 1997 Bentley convertible, five fur coats, and $3,000 in jewelry. Not exactly appreciating assets."

#14A few reasons why...
^^^^^
Council president, btw. Just got up and left town.
A scandal is growing in the city of Detroit involving a councilman who has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a male student he once mentored.
Before flight...
Last republican mayor was in 1962 just before the city burned to the ground...
1967 Riots which most fled from the city during/shortly after...

#17No, just liberals. Before you argue save your time. Liberals have been in charge there for 50 years now and nothing positive financially has happened. $18B bankruptcy has though. Many financial scandals as well as millions upon millions of money unaccounted for.Comment -

#21Orange County was at the time the largest American county to have gone bankrupt, when in 1994 longtime treasurer Robert Citron's investment strategies left the county with inadequate capital to allow for any rise in interest rates for its trading positions. When the residents of Orange County voted down a proposal to raise taxes in order to balance the budget, bankruptcy followed soon after. Citron later pleaded guilty to six felonies regarding the matter.

#26Many of them already have financial woes. Motor City is owned by the Illitch family who owns Tigers/Red Wings. Greektown, Dan Gilbert bought a huge chunk of the shares at stake. The casino was facing bankruptcy. MGM is fine.Comment -

#27Republicans appointed/voted for him(they knew what he was doing).. They chose not to raise taxes so they declared bankruptcy"not to pay their bills".. Simple as that.. You must think one man is to blame.naive indeed.

So back to square one, you stated the republicans drove the county into the ground when in fact it was the financial strategies of a democrat. Was it not?Comment -

#29It's a republican stronghold and it filed for bankruptcy.. That's all you need to know.. For you to think that one man(a right leaning "democrat")brought a whole county to its knees is being naive.. He may have been part of the collapse but not entirely... And just remember blue states are more prosperous than red states.. So keep on with your politic bs.Comment -

1. You can put all the history photos of Detroit up like Deuce did. You can talk about the 1984 Tigers World Series. You can talk about the automotive industry back in the day... but the truth is simple. Life goes on. I'm not saddened at all. I remember my grandmother taking me to a Tigers game back in 1985... she's still alive at the age of 93 right now. God Bless her. You're going to remember a lot about Detroit. But I'm not saddened. You make your own bed. Period.
2. As for the Detroit's casinos. What a great way to get all the money back from the welfare checks Michigan dishes out every 1st of the month. Intelligent idea. Not being racist one bit... but every time I'm at the casino I hardly see any white dudes around. If there is any... they're in the poker rooms. I haven't been downtown in about 2 years now....
3. I've never been to Ford Field yet. I've never been to Comerica Park yet. Honestly... the city is not safe to me. You can't have any fun downtown anymore... without the risk of someone shooting your a$$ or hurting you.
4. Detroit's Fire Works a few weeks ago... some gang stirred up some sh#$ and started shooting people. People were getting trampled on. Little kids... scared... hurt... some severely.
Nope... not sad one bit about this city called Detroit. In the movie Robocop it was pretty ghetto. I believe the city even filed for bankruptcy in the movie. Make way for the new "Delta City"Comment -
