The biggest problem in doing business in D. is an ever-present Mr. 15% mentality. You won't be able to do much without either: 1. Having friends with connections in the "government" of Detroit or 2. Paying off so that they will get off your back.

I live in Ferndale, but I have an idea that is very suitable for Detroi - but I won't pursue it until there are some more changes happening in the city council.
