“Yeah, it’s called Detroit”

- When I was I kid here in Sweden (around 1975), we were informed by our school teachers Detroit was a rich city.

Many parts of the US and the EU are really rich today, but even though Malmö has a bad repututation, I think most people there are better off than average Americans and continental Europeans.

I was in Malmo in 2000. It was beautiful..............

The actual City of Detroit has been in decline since the 1967 race riots, but it is surrounded by many suburbs that are much more prosperous, some the home of very wealthy people.

American cities generally reverse the European pattern where poorer people tend to live in suburbs outside the city center.

Malmo is not a very pretty city. Nothing that would make me say, “yeah, I’d like to go there.”
