-—— Now cities like Detroit and Chicago are paying the price.——

The problem is obsolescence. Detroit especially and Chicago less so are just plain obsolete. The reason for their being may exist but the reason for their growth no longer exists.

More precisely: cities like Detroit and Chicago are paying the price for America having even waged the inherently unwinnable War on Poverty and War on Drugs - which fostered dependency (WoP), and hyperinflated drug profits and channeled those profits into criminal hands (WoD).
