As a resident of metro Detroit married to a Chicago native, I can tell you that I'd rather have Chicago's problems, including the Daley Machine, than what we have here right now.
As Chicago is, Detroit was. As Detroit is, Chicago will be. You read it here first. Dave Bing is moving in the right direction, but without some radical changes to the way Michigan is governed, I don't see the manufacturing coming back from the South. I also don't see the Machine holding Chicago together in its present form much longer; Daley refusing to run for re-election as mayor is a signal that the same old racket won't work any more.
