Would it feel insulting to anyone if I said I'd rather see the US purchase entire Canada?
I mean, seriously...

You mean it looks too nice? I heard a couple of times they used to call it the "North-American Paris", something like that. Unless you think Paris is ugly - some might think so, huh? Idk - I guess it was a compliment to the city. Despite the bad losses, they've still got some real nice buildings over there. I could see many times on here and elsewhere.
My guess is Detroit will neither be saved by Canada nor even by MI in particular, but rather by foreign investors in general. At least if the city can fairly upgrade its infrastructures. That's where MI state must help somehow. Because someday, they might finally end up realizing that their burbs may be well off, they're still sort of random (thus a little boring) when compared to an experienced, long time lived-in urban center. So MI badly needs Detroit indeed. Plain fact, it's their only city known abroad. Everybody has heard of it, worldwide. Now as far as I know in France, only very very few have heard of Grand Rapids or Lansing, and yet you hear about the US from early in the morning to the late evening, every damn day over here. So MI would better realize they really need Detroit. Otherwise, they merely don't exist in the world.
That's my opinion about that.
