I agree with Suchfriends. I'm actually amazed that people are trying to blame local government for Detroit's downfall. If anything, its local government is burdened with having to do too much with far too few resources. The city itself needs to downsize to ensure that its local services can focus on a more manageable metropolitan area, rather than having to deal with its sprawling suburbs, too. Detroit grew as its industrial strength grew but will now have to shrink in accordance with its new reality. That's not an issue of big government but a massively overstretched one.
