My aunt and uncle lived near inner city Detroit in the 60's and were there for the 68 riots. Uncle Pete sat on the front porch with a shotgun and defied any one to enter his premises, no one did. You go Uncle Pete!
Detroit has been bad for years and years it just gets pockets of worse thrown in. When you keep people poor and uneducated for the most part this is what happens.

He "lived near inner city Detroit?" What does that mean?
The riots were almost all on main thoroughfares. No one was running up inside of homes trying to take anything.
That the automobile industry isn't based in San Francisco?
That's actually pretty spot on. The auto industry bailed on the state, and the city got hit the hardest. Flint got hit equally bad. Every industry in that city was based on the success of the auto industry. When Stroh's beer left, you could tell that the final nail had been pounded into the coffin.
Live by the auto, and you'll die by it when it hits the fan. Well, Detroit died by it.

That was in the 80's they have had time to redirect and they chose not to do anything but continue to run Michigan in to the ground with bad decisions.
