You can probably do the same video for Detroit


You’d probably have to go back way further than 15 years for good “before” pictures though


Detroit was America's richest city for decades, but they were proud of their "progressive" political mind set.

Why is this a surprise? I mean, what great, modern and clean cities have they built AND sustained in the past 500 years?

Oh wait, that was a fictitious land dreamed up by white people.

went to grad school with a guy who worked for a large South African based company. As far back as 2000 their unwritten corporate policy was to invest as much of their capital outside of South Africa as feasibly possible. They knew for 25 years this was going to be a failure.

Especially when there's metal pipes under there that'll fetch a couple of bucks in scrap.
