Detroit, like most major cities that haven't already done this, needs to have a unified government with it's suburbs to offset urban sprawl. People drive into the city to work but live and pay taxes in the suburbs. Detroit has a population of 700,000 but the metro area has a population of 5 million, combine the metro into one government and the wealthy suburbs will offset the poor inner city.
