Today's Detroit Free Press had an article discussing the various areas that comprise the City of Detroit. Each area had some "anchor point" [my term] that gave it a particular character.
A city needs a "critical mass" to be viable. Right now, Detroit is a "critical mess." Mayor Dave Bing is attempting to find some combination of projects to ignite investment and growth, but the overriding state and national economic problems leaves Detroit with scant chance of addressing its massive problems through investment.
What that leaves is "divestment."
