Post Body

Short History: The city of Detroit located in the state of Michigan was once a hub for the automotive industry in the early 20th century. The Big Three American car manufacturers (Ford, GM, and Chrysler) produced most of their vehicles in this city. Hence the nickname “Motor City.”

Detroit started to decline in the 1970s due to relocation of jobs and rich white people moving away to nearby towns. Hurting the tax base of the city. Some blame the 1967 Detroit riots for the decline, others blame the corruption of the city officials.

Today the city is known for its urban decay, where there’s lots of abandoned factories, schools, and homes. A lot of crime happens including assault, murder, theft, and arson. “Can’t have shit in Detroit!” Is sadly a meme and a reality.

Did any city in Russia go through a sharp decline like Detroit?
