I've always wanted to like Detroit. At present, I cannot forgive the Left for what they're done to her. Put another way - if the political policies of the last 50 years were so sound, wise and successful, why isn't Detroit an urban paradise?
UPDATE - Not entirely unrelated:
DETROIT—Detroit, a former industrial metropolis in southeastern Michigan with a population of just under 1 million, was sold at auction Tuesday to bulk scrap dealers and smelting foundries across the United States.
According to scrap dealers, Detroit is an aging city in fair-to-poor condition, with "substantial wear and tear." It also bears the marks of extensive fire and rust damage, and it may not comply with current U.S. safety and emissions standards.
