Detroit, once the backbone of the United States, is now the largest US city to file for bankruptcy. Thriving neighborhoods are now abandoned and there are not enough police to keep the city safe. Going from a population of almost 2 million to less than 700,000 in the space of a few years. The citizens of Detroit really need to stick together in these difficult times. The ongoing problems in the city are by far the worst we've seen in years and something needs to be done so we don't continue to see Detroit neighborhoods deteriorate like this. Safety is a big issue in the city of Detroit. About 40 percent or more of Detroit's 88,000 streets were broken. This is very dangerous for these specific reasons, for example since the crime rate in Detroit is at an all time high it puts citizens more at risk because if it is dark outside it is very difficult to see your surroundings and makes for an easy target for criminals. Another reason is that it will be very difficult for you to see while walking. Suppose a car has no lights on and you cross the road while the car is coming and your life could take you away so quickly due to the absence of working street lights, which could have been avoided if the street lights were working first and foremost .Detroit police is another problem in decline. Over the past decade, the size of the Detroit police force has been reduced by about 40 percent. In 2012 the emergency manager reported that the police department had approximately 2,030 employees. But city officials also said that of those 2,030 employees, only about 33 percent actually patrolled the city. If there are no officers monitoring and making sure the city is safe, that leaves room for...... middle of paper... Blicanese who I just can't imagine have any interest in doing anything for Detroit” the city it is strongly democratic. Money is the biggest problem in helping Detroit - no one wants to get involved, while donating money to a city in need is the problem, especially if they did it once, they definitely won't try to do it again. My answer to the naysayers who think it's so Pretty Impossible to rebuild the neighborhoods of Detroit and make changes to the city is to stop wasting money in other places and worry about the places within your reach, how can we solve the problems of other places outside of the United States without even setting up the home base first. It's time for everyone to get their act together and start rebuilding Detroit step by step so we can become one of the best cities in America again and people can start investing more in Detroit and start living and working there again.
