Amazing look at what Detroit once was and what it is today. Truly sad and frightening to see how steep the decline has been and how it occurred over a relatively short period.

The documentation of the effects of Johnson’s great society and liberalism’s on our country. We don’t need any other proof that we are on the wrong path. Looking at Europe only strengthens the arguments against liberalism run amok.

Decades of political corruption and dependence on gubmint hand outs take their toll. What a shame.

Nothing a few billion in stimulus money can't fix!
It certainly cannot be the fault of the local populace. They are/were all such good, law-abiding; civic-minded people.

Welcome to Somalia. Detroit is now a ghetto. It needs to be leveled and turned into pasture.

Some really beautiful interiors. This is one time I hope that someone removes as much as possible so that the craftsmanship will not be lost. Such a shame.

Hollywood could use it as scenery for a dozen post-apocalyptic movies.

This very subject has been posted here before.
There is a series of YouTube videos that depict block after block of deserted, looted, rotting neighborhoods.
You literally can't tell parts of Detroit from a war zone.

The Guardian was, and is, fully supportive of the policies that created this nightmare.

Masterful photography of the effect of liberalism on a great city.

Detroit’s Vanity Ballroom with its unsalvaged art deco chandeliers

I don't understand why the furniture and fixtures in these places have not been salvaged. I want the chairs from the Presbyterian Church!

This city is just a sampling of the Deathwish obama has for the entire 57 states.
