Can Detroit be turned around? What is the lesson for other cities?

That's the key.

The problem is that they don't. The city is 90% liberal. Said liberals don't understand what makes a city attractive to new businesses. They continue to do things that scare off businesses, which perpetuates all of the problems the city has.

I think the first step is for the state of Michigan to step in and put the city under their control - kick out every government worker/elected official, and put it under a manager with unilateral powers. Allow them to change tax code and what's needed to fix the city. It'll take years or decades, but it can work.

I've noticed that Detroit doesn't try. But it's not just the gov't who we should accuse. Many of the residents are very destructive towards their city.
