“Detroit won’t be the last big city to suffer the same fate, not by a long shot.”
My money would be on Baltimore, but it is close enough to DC to be able to have a life line from there.
So my money is on Philly. Lots of black democrats. Lots of union corruption. Lots of corrupt city govt.
Although Gary Indiana would not be far behind.

Baltimore itself probably won’t go bankrupt for a very long time. The radical progressive wing of the Democrat party is firmly entrenched in power at the state level (and increasing its hold on power as time goes on) and will use the financial resources of the entire state to keep the Democrat areas afloat despite their massive spending problems.
I guess its possible that the entire state will go bankrupt at some point. Much of its “wealth” comes from feeding from the federal public trough (both federal employees & contractors). The best things that other states can do is keep the lid on federal paychecks (keep the freeze going indefinitely on this overpaid crowd) and try to gradually reduce staffing levels. Believe me, there is a great deal of pure fat in the federal bureaucracies.
