The Detroit Skyline looks Magnificent... But Look Closer...

It featured rapper Eminem driving along Woodward Avenue...”
That pretty well tells you all you need to know.
Just like where ever WalMart comes in the neighborhood dies, where ever the unions come in the place dies.

democRAT Infestation with its accompanying plague and Unions
I have no desire to kick Detroit. These stories evoke a deep sadness in me. Probably because I see Detroit as a metaphor for America.
Detroit may not recover from this decline in my lifetime, (I’m sort of old). The urban culture coupled with unions, and now the influx of muslims... I really can’t see how a recovery is possible.
A recent article in National Review describes the large population loss in Detroit, as hard-working, middle-class Blacks have left the city in droves. It goes on to recall how the “White Flight” from the inner cities in the 1970s and 80s was blamed on racism by the politically correct mainstream media. The conclusion: maybe people (of all races) just want to live in a safe environment.
Exactly, everybody picks on Detroit, but the fact is, every major US city is going to look like Detroit within a few decades.
Detroit still has some of the best suburbs to live in, in the country, though.
“... I really can’t see how a recovery is possible.”
Time for OCP to take it private.
the picture was taken in windsor, a foreign country, with little to no crime and a people that take pride in their city.....the exact opposite of detroit..
“Chrysler and Eminem produced a great commercial”. You have GOT to be kidding me. I watched that commercial aghast, in disbelief! Detroit is an abomination, a cancer. Detroit is a symbol of all that has gone wrong in America and it’s subsequent decline. A chilling reminder of the welfare culture and rampant out of control, and unpunished, criminals.
"I'll buy that for a dollar."
“hate to burst your bubble, but the muslims have nothing to do with the decline of detroit....you are far safer in the muslim neighborhoods than the rest of the city...”
Yes, and no.
Yes, muslims didn’t cause the decline of Detroit. But, I was looking at Detroit’s recovery prospects, and muslims have contributed so much to the rest of the world, right? I mean look at all the great things the Palestinians are doing with the land the got from Israel. I mean, everywhere muslims go, that place flourishes, right?
As for safety, sure, you bet. muslims are well known for how gracious they are to Christians.
You’re a bit delusional.
1. Detroit has a yearly budget of $3.1 BILLION. You could build another “Paris of the Mid-West” that kind of cash in just a few years.
2. Detroit has been run democrats and socialists for the last 60 years straight. They have instituted every insane liberal program ever dream-up. All money goes towards public unions which is why nothing gets done.
“Detroit still has some of the best suburbs to live in, in the country, though.”
And northern Michigan is gorgeous. I’d love to see a Detroit comeback, but I can’t imagine how it would take place.

The old Detroit Grand Prix....a great day to be in Detroit.
Reminds me of the Levi’s ads featuring Braddock, PA.
Another liberal RAT-infested he!1-hole!
