In the early 80's in the middle of Upstate New York cars still bore bumper stickers reading "Let the Apple Rot". Today I suppose somebody in Michigan might make a few bucks with the motto "Let Motown Go Down (and good riddance)".
The difference between Detroit and NYC?
NYC has the financial industry to paper over with illusion and BS the insanity of the city failure.
Detroit only has vacant manufacturing buildings in rubble and social leaches who will beg the Feds to feed them.
Show me a city run by ComDems that is not a total failure. There is not one.
