Thanks..I love this site but it is notgood for me to post since i am not really glorify Christ with my remarks. The man you mention did destroy the city. I was born in Mt Clemons and came to Detroit whe n I was 2. 59 now. Duggan is a liberal but seems to be doing some good.
In 1950, not long before you were born, the United States was the wealthiest country in the world. The other contenders for that title were still recovering from the wreckage of WWII.
In 1950 the fourth largest city in the United States was Detroit. And although it was the fourth largest city, when it came to wages it was number one. Detroit had the highest standard of living in America, at the time that America had the highest standard of living in the world.
Somehow in the next 20 years Detroit went from being one of the world’s great cities to being a disaster. And for whatever reason it happened it has been a tragedy for the people of Detroit and for America at large. The arsenal of democracy became a ruin.
