Communists hate the middle class - the middle class represents stability.

It could be a mathematical formula: there is a direct inverse relationship between the size of government and the size of the middle class.
Nuke 80% of the $4 TRILLION government beast that is eating up America like Godzilla.

It’s a doomed city. It’s Detroit in 10 years.

“Especially in 2000, the greens-the color of money–grow much darker. It seems the rich simply got richer.”
Actually, there isn't enough information to conclude that the “rich simply got richer” — unless you're using a strictly relative measure of “richer”.
According to the legend, the graphic is based on the median income in the metro area. If you lower that median income, by substituting middle income families, with low income families, then a higher-income family that remains, will have a higher relative income — without needing to actually have more income. They will be “relatively” richer — but, not necessarily having more income.

It seems the rich simply got richer. In later years, the wealthy pushed the poor out of the near West Side. It appears that area bypassed the middle.
This is what happened to the Central District in Seattle, as well. I watched it happen before my very eyes.

It seems that most large urban areas in this once great country have degenerated into Marxist hellholes.
I never plan on living in an urban area again.

This is what the neo-feudal New World Order looks like. A tiny, unaccountable Ruling Elite serviced by a small technocracy and feeding off a huge population of poor and near-poor.
