Detroit is a precursor for the rest of America. Too much boom, a burst bubble, and the slow outsourcing to somewhere else will lead to a decay like this throughout the country. It actually has already occurred throughout rural America, with the death of the small town store and the steady flow of rural population to somewhere else.
I am not blaming Americans for any of this, except for the those that value profits above all else.
Joseph, I don\'t think that\'s true at all. Although everyone here is affected by the economic consequences of the fucking greedy assholes in this country, the density of middle class wealth is migrating from the mdwest (Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, etc.) to the South West and East. I don\'t think there\'s a net total decline but, as you sort of allude too, a shift.
