Michigan roads are seriously bad this year:

It's not uncommon to see places like this throughout the metro-area. There are roads that we don't go down because they're essentially impassable.
@craigmaloney man that subreddit seems kinda bleak right now
@cwebber I still see hope in there. It's a Metro-Detroit thing. 😁
@craigmaloney I would like to know more, at some point, about your perspective on Detroit and the surrounding area, especially signs of hope. About a decade "Detroit is crumbling" got a lot of press, but it's clear the city is still running. I've heard from some folks that there's a lot of interesting stuff happening in Detroit right now, but those comments were mostly vague. Would be good to hear a local's take!
Then again you keep telling me to visit... ;)
@cwebber I think I answered the question but feel free to ping me with other questions you might have.
There's a columnist that I follow named Jack Lessenberry that writes very well about the problems facing Detroit and Michigan. I don't always agree with him but more often than not he is on-point and almost prophetic about Detroit and its turn-around (or lack thereof).
