about time

[Novo]

it's a wasteland, time to move everyone out and corner it off forever

[Roy Mars III]

50 + years of corruption and incompetence need to restart. No one who has never been realizes just how **** a city it is. It's like being in another country.

Funny enough fifteen minutes away is the 3rd richest county in America (the rich people who were driven out of Detroit)

no sympathy for the city

No use it for Future Film Sets
those that live there can be background extras



There are loads of Dead factorys
Ideal for Fight Scenes - CGI not needed alot etc.

How can an entire city declare itself bankrupt? I say that both as a question and as a statement of disbelief. How did things get so bad? What happens when a city declares itself bankrupt? How can it recover? What does that mean for its residents?

Its a sad City
so many leave in a street
those that are left

every thing can be re used in another state
and they get it all free

The city has a local Government, and that Government took out huge loans to fund it's operations and also welfare programs. Detroit is a dead city, it's no different than the ghost towns that dot the west when people were traveling west. the American auto industry collapsed, and Detroit was the capital of the American auto industry. Now it can't pay it's bills, hence, the city is in bankruptcy. When a city owes huge debts and has no feasible way of paying them back, they go into bankruptcy. it's not hard to understand. Detroit is ****ed. maybe we can sell Detroit to Canada? bargain basement prices!

It's kinda like New Orleans after Katrina, but instead of a natural disaster, it's a disaster of their own making.

Detroit borrowed a lot of money to pay for their local progams, and now they can't keep up with the debt. Because there are NO JOBS IN DETROIT. the economy collapsed and some lazy people stuck around hoping the government would support them forever. A city can't support itself if it has no jobs and no people paying TAXES to fund the government, so it went broke.

TLDR: American car industry moved overseas, no more jobs in Detroit. no more jobs in Detroit means no more taxes paid to the government, no more taxes paid to the Detroit government means they can't pay their debts. Detroit not being able to pay their debts means they are in bankruptcy.

Hang on didn't the UK move all their industry abroad....
Bit like shooting yourself in the nads isn't it?
