A family living in Detroit gets twice the subsidy as a family living in Portland? In Detroit, housing costs are low because of an over supply of houses; whereas families living in Portland either spend half their income on housing or commute from neighboring Washington State. Moreover, the reason medical costs are high in Detroit likely has to do with the generous health benefits paid by automakers. The generous subsidies will only exacerbate the problem.
