As a 28-year Michigander (Flint/Detroit area), I don't think the left turning mechanism is responsible for any neighborhood divides...you could say that the divided highway contributes to this, but I am more inclined to blame "White Flight" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flight).


I'm tired of Detroiters blaming white flight for everything.

I brought up 8 mile as an example but Woodward is just as bad dividing the white people in Royal Oak from the white people in Berkeley.

You can't walk across the street with those huge boulevards. That's the point.


I blame Michigan's anti-business labor and tax law.


I blame people who blame everything on "unions and taxes" regardless of how little or how much they know about an actual problem.
