I went to the IU/Michigan game this weekend.
It was Michigan homecoming, so we rejected the chance to get gouged in Ann Arbor and stayed in the Novi/Livonia area, and "toured" Detroit Saturday morning.
It was worse than I expected.
Did the UAW contracts drive jobs out?
Did NAFTA drive jobs out?
WHAT really made that place become abandoned like it was?
Miles and miles of abandoned homes, businesses and churches.
Saw several high rise buildings - 15-20 stories - completely abandoned.
Too many blocks to count.
