“You have to identify those neighborhoods where you want to concentrate your population,” said Chris Brown, Detroit’s chief operating officer. “We’re not going to light distressed areas like we light other areas.”
They’re just openly admitting to fucking over low income neighborhoods primarily occupied by people of color at this point. This kind of...
