I know this sounds mean, but...let it burn, the whole city, down.As an example of what happens when liberal, leftist, socialist union power takes over and totally corrupts a city, right into the ground. Totally. Pathetic. Coming to a blue city near you, soon.
You need a press to report on the corrupt, forgotten city. It’ll take archeologists to figure this one out. Of course, I’m optimistic that someone will reinvent the poor city - perhaps not in my lifetime, though.
