Okay so you want to start another "Let's bash Detroit" thread, at the very least try to think of an original way to bash the city. |

As far as 'major cities' go, New Orleans is the only one that could compare. I'm talking pre-Katrina too. I never understood why they talked about New Orleans like it was Rome or something. I feel bad for what happened to the people. But come on, that place was a COMPLETE $HITHOLE before Katrina even hit there. Say any different is crazy. |

New Orleans is like a 3rd world city much like Rio. Detroit's too cold to be third world.

Not every city. Miami, I'd say it borderline 3rd world. |

Yeah Suprisely, according to the 2007 census, Detroit gain some of its population back, and is now at 916,000. In 2006, it was around 870-880,000. I guess Detroit is attempting to make a comeback. |

There are some border cities that could give it a run. At least large tracts of them.
