a tale of two cities

detroit ain't no boston town

one spirals up 

while the other spirals down 



but ivy league fatalism hasn't yet met

my eye openner



 the big easy solution 

a  super fast down size 

is the  proper detroit Rx 



========================


 

 skills are destiny

influx builds influx

skill out flux breeds 

a drop in lot values

and the bustication of neoghborhoods 

          this 'll  suck in  

                     idlers

end zone 

a sump of idlers 

here's

that vunce cantab prof  glaeser :



 "Boston would be just another declining,

 cold, manufacturing city 

if it weren't for its preponderance 

of human capital," 

"my studies suggest

 the more skilled a city's population,

 the more skilled it is becoming, 

as entrepreneurs attract skilled workers

 who in turn attract entrepreneurs"



 "Americans are sorting themselves 

through education and geography

 more and more with each passing year. ..."

detroit is a cheap place to idle away in

with its birds of a feather 

and  a nice big  cheap crumbling housing stock 

my nero answer

burn it down

a controled burn  of course

like burning under brush 

and 

 a one timer 

set your starters to hit all one very sad nite

not a series of minis

that gets too obvious 

 an artificial big burn

like the big ones 

of the post civil war era 

in the here after ...

a much down sized detroit

    could

 take on the bean town  up spiral 

begin a second career

 as maybe an r&d 

for post smoke stackery 



from automotive 

to 

automative ????

sound like a boomer to ya ????



robo detroit 



at any rate 

a non academic technical  

hubsteration  

but ahh

i get ahead of myself here
