I'm not from Detroit, so I shouldn't make fun... but I get the feeling that when you refer to it as "City Airport" you do so in your best Sean Connery impersonation voice.
@TimTim:
"I'll takche Schitty Airpoat for a hundred, Alechs!"
"That's, uhh... CITY Airport, Sean - SssssSSSSITY Airport"
"Yer abscholutely roight, Trebek, that IS a schitty airpoat!"
Later...
"I'll take 'Anal Bum Cover' for fifty, Alechs."
"That's 'AN ALBUM COVER', Sean!"
If there isn’t enough tax revenue to support the infrastructure then yes please cut those budgets. The Federal Govt doesn’t need to pay for a city that’s on life support, I certainly don’t want my revenue spent on Detroit. Let Detroit die already. Bring in metal recyclers and lumber harvesters and tear the dump down. If people want to stay then great, give them the surrounding land and let them do want they want with it. Set up a smaller civic infrastructure that can be supported by the available tax base, doing such is not a difficult concept. Tear it all down and create some type of natural reclamation project, something similar to strip mine reclamation would probably work well.
Maybe we could run some type of death race through the city streets?
Heck, watching the SWAT teams practice probably keeps the low life and underbelly of society stay in their rotting- abandoned buildings. A show of force is probably a good thing for that area.

@Andrew Didorosi: Much better. I almost said something about the exhaust of a car idling within, but it seemed too close to the wash from the helicopter.
I live in Pittsburgh and last week we had the damned G20 conference....during a Pirate game(they suck, I know). Anyway, the city is swarming with the National Guard, SWAT, and riot police for a whole week, the whole downtown area was blocked off to cars. So I'm checking out the scene and I hear fireworks from the stadium, indicating we hit a home run. 2 minutes later, 2 SWAT choppers are circling the stadium thinking there's a terrorist attack. Bunch of fucking idiots.
@Tucker589 is Hoarding James Dean's 550 Spyder: So you had this for a couple days? Welcome to NYC on a daily basis...and remember the fun we had when Air Force 1 needed to get some fan boy shots...
@philibuster: I got stuck there overnight on some discount airline that has since gone belly up. After sitting around the terminal for 6 hours, they finally put us up in a hotel downtown. Problem with being stuck in the terminal for 6 hours was that they barely even had a snack machine in there, so we were starving. And that's my Detroit City Airport story.

How about you go to Detroit first and meet the people who live here before wishing their homes and city be destroyed.

please remember, you are part of an economy, not a society.

They can afford to slash their budget on police, they have spider man.
