Mayors, city council members, and legislators come and go, but neighborhoods don't go anywhere.

We continue to see our elected officials working extra hard to create a 'good climate for business' that leads to disinvestment in public infrastructure and tax incentives to the detriment of cities, while enriching private business and further entrenching poverty. And our cities are told by legislators to use their bootstraps to survive.

We are valuable. Detroit and other neighboring communities are places to invest in, not rob.
