Put the 'Neighbor' Back in the Neighborhood

Summary


Right now Detroit has far too many 'hoods and not nearly enough neighborhoods. Because once you take the neighbor out of the 'hood, what toe residents are left with is a dog-eat-dog existence where everyone looks out only for themselves. I say it's time out for that in Detroit. I say it's time that Detroiters learn how to become neighbors again.

In other words, we're all in this together. The majority of us who still live in this city are either here because we are committed Detroiters and we believe in our city or because we could not afford to leave if we wanted to. We all know how many people have been packing up and leaving this city, so we may as well speak openly and honestly about this. But I can also honestly say that if we all face what we're up against head-on together as a community, one day there will be many more people wanting to become Detroiters than exDetroiters.
