Reply #25: Well this raises the question, what is the future of Michigan?

[abumbyanyothername]

Is Michigan even fit for human population?

If so, should we think about encourage population of the area in a manner that is sustainable?

If vast tracts of Detroit are abandoned, how about wildlife refuge for some, and urban farms for others? For that matter, how about putting some out of work Detroiters out onto sustainable farming operations?

I just don't see how our economy can be balanced atop an Ag industry that consists of 0.6% of the population (and at the same time be a significant export industry also).
