A new urban flight causing problems in Detroit.

Its unbelivable the contradictory positions people are having to take to support their views.
As Angus said, you don't live in reality.

In one breath its, hey have family and friends in the locale so you can dump your kids while you go walkabout, the next its don't put down roots and connections in an area so you can just up and leave with no worries.

Taters "nest" idea is actually ludicrous in todays situation as people had their nests and thought they had their security and now they find that their nest is burnt, their tree condemned future propects of getting new twigs is non existantt as they have a burnt nest record and some bloody cuckoo is making a racket about these "silly" people not having a proper nest.
Now OK people might have their parents to fall back on, but in this rust belt situation you a looking at parents left in empty towns with their property asset now worthless and their pension provisions thrown away by some coked up banker, and you people want folk to leave kids with their grandparents who now live in a ghetto while they themselves live out the back of a car or in some doss house working illegaly in the black economy just to fix the damn motor car
