Pretty much has been and by vandals elected by popular vote.

Guess all the flooring was used for firewood (or weapons)??? There was a group of photos posted here a year or so ago of homes (once occupied) now grown over with trees and ivy that was shocking enough — but these are public buildings.

Er, I don't think they're Germans who did this.

Agree about the vandals for sure. Well, cities, like most everything else have a life cycle. In fact, there are abandoned cities all over the planet. Many of them with no apparent cause or reason for their abandonment. But, back to Detroit; personally, I think as portions of the city become vacant they should be razed and returned to farm land. The scrapped buildings and such could be used to fuel electric plant furnaces or become land fill - something useful.

Worse, its been run by liberal democrats for decades. No vandal could do as much damage to a city as liberalism.
