There SURELY are dissenters. Just check out our mixed feedback at Metropolismag.com and go check out the block called “Welcome to Detroit”.

Megan,

I think you have hit on the reasons for many problems we are seeing these days. Being skeptical is in fashion. I think people think it makes them look smart – pointing out the flaws or faux pax in everything and everyone. It is a top down and bottom up attitude that is hurting communities.

You are right … It’s all sort of sickening isn’t it?

Everyone should heed your call to action.

Megan it was so nice to hear from you again here on Pixelgawker. Your timing with this post could not have been more fit as I just read an article this morning from Free Press blogger Oneita Jackson about outsiders who propose ideas for change in Detroit.

“Detroiters don’t like outsiders diagnosing their problems. And they’re really skeptical of you if you come here and offer a solution.”

Thank you for this post Megan, I really enjoyed it. Link to the Free Press article below.
