IMHO metro southeast Michigan’s problem isn’t industry.
It’s poverty, and unemployment. And a massive population which holds an entitlement mentality.
Both of which, are being made (worse) by those currently in charge there.
Even River Rouge would be fine, if only the area around it weren’t the economic equivalent of Bangladesh. Detroit as a whole is broken.
I’d say it’s too bad the UP can’t secede and join with Wisconsin. Except I’m not sure WI is that much better.
Both states suffer, from the crime and poverty in their largest cities.
Posting from CA, which suffers most, from our second-largest city. But LA’s bad enough.
I wish Michigan’s economy and govt weren’t such a mess. I’d move there.
Beautiful, beautiful state.
Hear, hear.
