Thoughts About Detroit

I've been thinking about Detroit and its troubles and have reached the conclusion that it is also part of the American way of life. Apparently the average American family moves every five years. Thus, if there are no jobs or opportunities in one town they are likely to move to the next. There appears to be no deep rooting and the mere figures of Detroit losing more than half of its population seem to support this.
I wonder if it is time to revise and reverse this attitude for the sake of Detroit?!
