Poverty hits the suburbs

I think one of the most remarkable shifts in America has been that inner cities have gone from poor and dangerous to gentrified. While we don't know all of the reasons for the shift (e.g. rising gas prices), there are certainly interesting consequences including the fact that the recent recession has hit suburbs particularly hard--especially in the Rust Belt and the Las Vegas burbs.

Come check out some of the metro Detroit suburbs. And then contrast them with the new condos springing up in midtown Detroit.
