Detroit and a bunch of other decaying cities would need massive migrations of people and serious money.

For a variety of reasons I wouldn't expect those places to come back.

detroits been trying to lure people to their city with damn near free housing and it's not been working

that's the only thing that will save it.
When the culture and enviroment is unattractive you can't pay people to live there. When you can't guarantee your kids will get a good education, can get a job, someone will not burn down abandoned houses, basic public services will be provided, there will not be a chance that you will get shot or killed, etc. there is no possible incentive for people who have hopes based on building something to move in.

You give me a house. Great. So how is quality of the rest of my life going to turn out?

Become Silicon Valley-East.

Provide massive incentives for tech companies to open hubs in Detroit.

Leverage UM, OSU, PENN, Northwestern, other eastern universities to establish a pipeline of talent into the city.

By the way, I admit not initially reading the article. reading it now and one thing that stuck out to me is that the decrease in automobile manufacturing is blamed on free trade? Particularly NAFTA in the 90's. For my more knowledgeable brehs, is this really true?

From my understanding the decline in auto manufacturing started in the 80s before NAFTA and it was due to shytty auto manufacturing of the US that couldn't compete with the more reliable and better constructed Asian automobiles. They simply couldn't compete with the Japanese in particular. Ford used to be termed "found on road dead" for a reason.

Though a lot of these modern US cars are nice. That Ford Fusion :wow:

For "those" people to be removed, forcibly if necessary :mjpls: All jokes aside, cities that are never coming back:

Detroit
Toledo
Gary
Cleveland
etc.

Those cities are forever f*cked unless illegals start to populate them and bring fresh blood to the area.
:ufdup:


Don't talk about the goat city like that
