A new urban flight causing problems in Detroit.

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.

I'm not sure what kind of family you have but having to 'dump my kids' for a day or so with a family member is never a problem. Specifically if I'm going for a job interview. The pastor of my church and his wife would look after my kids in heartbeat. I can name 5 other family members that would watch my children. WTH...is every jobless person with a kid an introvert with no friends or family? This guy was going for a job interview...not a walkabout to whore and drink. Why not a family member? As far as roots, sometimes you have to cut and run...roots or not. My family moved 8 times since I was born. What seems to be the problem with up and leaving...roots or not? Everyone should attempt to make roots but also accept that the old root ball might have to up and leave.
