I have been intently reading John Gallagher's Reimagining Detroit. The book is analysis of the problems facing Detroit and some possible solutions. Of course, the text deals largely with the most obvious problem Detroit faces: abandonment. Mr. Gallagher does not offer a panacea, rather he proposes some "tools for the toolbox" to reimagine the city as we know it now.
The book is compelling and offers innovative, insightful suggestions.
I keep thinking one thing: Metro Detroiters expect a panacea, a quick fix, and an awaiting savior to implement it. I hope we all take Mr. Gallagher's suggestions to heart. I will take more than one champion to fix the problems. It will take the whole region.
