Detroit and Infant Mortality

Detroit has the highest child-mortality rate of any American city, exceeding that of many parts of what we used to call the Third World. The rate of death before the age of 18 in Detroit is nearly three times New York City’s, and its infant-mortality rate exceeds that of Botswana. The main cause of premature death among the children of Detroit is premature birth — the second is murder.
Some of the other stats/facts about Detroit's leftist governance are familiar refrains. I think you need to give the city's new mayor a chance. It won't be politics as usual anymore, because too many outsiders are scrutinizing the city as they seek to save its art collection. Too bad its children aren't similar taken care of.
