That’s the classic death spiral. Put the taxpaying entities out of business and then the leeches will starve. I have also seen it played out from the regulatory side, which in some way is similar to taxes. The regulators put those they regulated out of business, then who do they have left to regulate? They’ve destroyed themselves by ruining those who justified their existence.
I am in the burbs and sometimes go down to Detwaa...
The arcitecture is stunning in some of the decaying homes it is a shame. It hit me thinking about this thread today. The only difference between Detroit and Cuba is they both had a socialist experiment, but Cuba has had a strong arm dictitoral one for the last 50 something years to force it to work and Detroit didn't. Detroit's shows, In Cuba you can't look or if you do you have to look a little harder. It is so sad what happened to Detroit.
When it’s your own baby it smells wonderful...Awww, baby make poo-poo!
“Detroit is finished. Everyone left and all that remains is debris.”
It’s what they call “disrepair”. I feel better already.
