Has Detroit recovered from its bankrupcy okay?

I remember hearing that, many years ago, Detroit went bankrupt. Well, how's it doing now? Has it recovered okay?

I live in the suburbs, it’s really nice downtown- there’s still some work to do as you get farther away from downtown - but the vibe is nice. Folks just going about their day. Not perfect but way better than it used to be.

It used to be a war zone. The kind of imagery Americans think exists in third world countries.

bankruptcy isn't a bad thing from which you never recover or improve.

it's a financial instrument that allows an entity to restructure it's debt obligations, usually to make them go from being impossible to meet to possible to meet. it's a temporary legal state and it doesn't last for very long, typically a few years at most.

Your comment added nothing, jumping on a downvoted comment because you have nothing to add yourself.

It was infrastructure costs. The more bungalows you have, the more upside-down your finances are.

Just out of curiosity do you own a corkboard and red strings?
