It’s safe to say that Detroit’s disgraced ex-mayor has landed on his feet.

The day after being released from his 99-day stint in jail, he jetted off to the richest neighborhood in America to begin a new life, supposedly as a high-paid exec.

It’s not quite clear what he’ll be doing in the community of Southlake, Texas, where the median household income is about $173,000, but he’ll need every nickel he can scrape up to pay $1 million restitution to the Motor City for his text-message scandal penalty.

According to the Detroit Free Press newspaper, the mayor and wife Carlita settled into a $2,800-square-food rental home in northeast Tarrant County, near Dallas-Ft. Worth.   Forbes.com has labeled the area as the “most affluent neighborhood in the country.”

It’s a long way from Detroit – in more ways than one.

For example, that astronomical median household income is about six times what it is in Detroit; Southlake is about 94 percent White and 3 percent Black, compared with Detroit, where Whites make up about 10 percent and Blacks 83 percent of the population.

“Southlake is not a place that is known for being too judgmental,” said Charles Young, executive editor of Alliance Newspapers. But, he added, “This guy brings a lot of baggage with him.”

Former Southlake City Councilwoman Debra Edmundson said, “Obviously, if he's coming here to start over, it sounds like his wife and children are victims, and that's something I would hope everyone would understand. I think folks will be forgiving.”
