Did bullet holes in the houses make them age quicker?
Yep they sure did...right here
Racism plays a significant role too.
The White man is responsible for it at least a significant part of it. According to this hack, most liberals/Marxist and most Blacks themselves, Blacks are NEVER responsible for anything they do nor for what happens to them.
It would make my day if Ford would move their headquarters away from Detroit and out of Michigan and away from the unionize Democrat controlled rust belt, and give the area, and Government Motors and Chrysler the middle finger, but I know that won’t happen because the Democrats on the state and federal would pay them to stay put if they arn’t already.
I noticed that, leftists politics never got mentioned.
Of course if he had written about the real cause of the decline, it’d never gotten printed in the LA Times.
Detroit is the “Crown Jewel” of progressive policies.
The moron author calls everyone racist that fled the city. And yet he fled too.
YES - I pointed out, to my wife, the socialist "art" (clenched fist statue) also featured in the ad.

What, you didn't get the memo? Jeeze, there's always somebody that didn't get memo...
California, you are doomed.
Need proof?
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail.
A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor’s dog, then bites the Governor.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a “coyote awareness program” for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
8. The Governor’s security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.
9. PETA protests the coyote’s relocation and files a $5 million suit against the State.
Wyoming:
The Governor of Wyoming is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A Coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Wyoming is not
Detroit turning into a turd world Shiithole. Perfect for the squatters in Dearbornistan.
Now we know what happened to the Mayans, Aztecs, Incas.
Today, Detroit no longer meets the threshold and is trying to get the law changed to permit them to continue to charge the tax.
What logic! People moving out in droves and city wants to continue a tax making it more expensive to live there.
Not me!! I'm sick of all the people in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia buying Korean made cars. Let's suuport our own industry!
Well, as a mater of fact it does.
Big Auto, Republican Policies and racist whites.
The author does mention 18 months on a union picket line in Detroit as one of his claims of good memories.
Good point SG, I guess he called himself a moron too.
The Black Separatists and Union Radicals run Detroit, what they have left is the remains after the looting.
I think the 18 months on the picket line fried his brain and permanently.
I think after about 15 minutes of being out of my job I would have started looking for another job instead of standing around with a sign.
Their signs probably said “Idiots on Strike”
Why has Detroit “changed” more than any other city?
Congressman Conyers Detroit City Councilwoman-wife is in prison for breaking laws involving her office, isn’t she?
