It wasn’t offshoring that drove the decline of manufacturing in U.S. cities. It was the advent of assembly-line manufacturing that made the old multi-story factories in urban centers obsolete.
Pick a random auto manufacturing plant in the U.S. today … the Honda plant in Marysville (Ohio), for example. Then find a location in New York City or Chicago where anything close to that size could fit.

BS. The USA has plenty of land and resources. The problem is it has too many Free Traitors™.

Sorry. Not buying your argument. Detroit especially has massive amounts of usable land that simply needs to be leveled. Multiple square miles of trashed unlivable houses. There is land-o-plenty.
The reason that Honda / Toyota / Nissan , etc. is not in Detroit is real simple.
