Great Lakes Urban Exchange (GLUE) has a cool web page showing people, of all demographics, from around the Detroit area holding up signs that express what would make them stay in Detroit. Click on the individual photos and they will enlarge enough for you to read them.
Some of the signs say:
I will stay if they fix up abandoned homes.
I will stay if I could get a job here.
I am staying because I care.
I will stay if we can learn from the past without living in it.
I'm staying because you can't take my city away from me.
I will stay if better transportation (several others similar to this).
I will stay if Detroit straightens out its government.
I will stay if I can find assistance for my small business idea.
I will stay if Detroit preserves its historic buildings.
We'll stay in Detroit if income taxes go down (or preferably, were eliminated).
