| #8 To put Detriot into perspective, it was only 60 years ago that it was one of the top 5 manufacturing economies in the world, had strategic port and rail infrastructure and was not only epicenter of the worlds automotive industry, but also ringed with dozens of smaller industries that supported Big Auto. It shares an international border with a major trading partner and enjoyed a well respected educational infrastructure fed by world class acedemics. In short, they had nearly every advantage possible going for them. Now 60 years later, or arguably 2 generations more or less, and they are an economic basket case. |

| #5 That they abandon libraries with the books still on the shelves and police stations with what appear to be evidence files without clearing them out tells you a lot about Detroit city government. Can't even make the effort to salvage anything of value? |

| #3 Is no one willing to make the point about the nature of the municipal government in Detroit over the past 40 years? The confluence of unionist Democrat politics and continuous racial leadership and cronyism produced a large part of this shocking tragedy. |

| #2 Isn't Detroit in the process of radically contracting its borders - to become much smaller? Crowder had a good video on Detroit: |

| #1 Instead of labeling the pictures it would of been interesting if Americans would guess where those pictures were taken. I imagine the guess' would range from Eastern Europe to Chernobyl. |
