There are three depressing and must-see videos at the link.

We have first-hand evidence of the destruction wrought by the Great Society. If Obamaism is allowed to take root, we will see many more formerly great cities degenerate to this state in our lifetimes.

Well since it looks like a war zone anyway. We need to declare war on Canada, whoever loses is forced to take Detroit.

” 400 liquor stores “?
Understandable, I’d drink lots too if I lived there.

Detroit is the poster child for rat and union dominated government. Detroit is civilization in reverse. It is a warning to what our country is rapidly headed for.

Great story, the mayor is right, bulldoze the city and make it smaller.

but thankfully the feckless Michigan state legislature beat back a “right to work” bill, ensuring the union status quo will remain

so especially all you black folks in unions, be assured your reps are taking good care of you

It would be extremely interesting to see what would happen if they’d elect a white government.

there are 400 liquor stores there, but only eight supermarkets . . .

Only a 50-1 ratio? Reminds me of a story my Dad used to tell me about four guys from Detroit out fishing. They pass a little convenience store on the side of the lake and decide to pull in nearby to set up camp for the night.

Two of the guys draw short straws and are sent to buy provisions for the night. They come back with four cases of beer and two loaves of bread. "Idiots!", shouts one of the guys who stayed behind to set up cam, "What are we supposed to do with all that bread?"

Much better video with audio commentator explaining that Detroit is the poster boy for leftist politics here:

What is clear, though—especially after seeing the devastation from the sky—is that the Motor City has a long, long way to go to even become a shell of its former self.

That looks like a city that spent its way to prosperity. Curious how many thousands live on these streets, according to the 2010 census.

Wow!

Of course we all know liberals will never EVER admit that their ways are what brought this city down. And certainly won’t admit that unions were the second driving force.

By the way, I completely agree with the mayor on bringing in the city limits. There is no reason to have fire and police in an area with just a few homes. The land can be used for farming or something productive.

SAdly, much of this (Det riot) is too much like the photos often seen on EnglishRussia, another failed Empire gone to rot.

From the Sky, Detroit Looks Like Sarajevo

That's a terrible thing to say about Sarajevo.
