Very sad to see what an empty shell Detroit is. Virtually none of the “business” streets in Detroit, outside of the casino and other small, protected areas, have any business on them.

A while back, the local left was making a big stink about why there are no grocery stores left in the city. They shut up when it came out that the reason was, the “customers” (and employees) were stealing everything that wasn’t nailed down.

Same thing in Newark NJ; they recently opened their first chain supermarket in decades. Many of the residents cross a bridge over the Passaic River to shop in my town, but now the bridge is closed for construction so they are in a temporary “food desert”. It is impossible to operate a business in Newark where “customers” have physical access to anything that will fit in a pocket.
