I read there are about 1000 residents still in Delray. There really is no bringing it back. The bridge is going to be the best thing that's happened to SW Detroit in a long time.
You've got the sewage plant and also Zug Island over there. Zug Island is technically in River Rouge, where I was staying for a bit, but pollution doesn't really observe political boundaries.
Detroit suffers from multiple issues, mostly economic. But incompetent, corrupt leadership has not helped.
The leadership where you live is better?

Zug is in Detroit proper. No parts of River Rouge lie across the Rouge River. Of course, it’s parent company is Great Lakes, and that’s in River Rouge AND Ecorse.
Yeah, Delray still has residents. So does Carbon Works. But they’re gonna have to leave when the new bridge deal is finished. Kinda like the people in Oakwood Heights had to do when Marathon decided on expansion.
No other large city in America ever got as bad as Detroit in terms of ruins and abandonment. Alot of major cities have been under Democratic rule for ages and are in much better shape than Detroit.
Zug Island is a heavily industrialized island within the city of River Rouge at the southern city limits of Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located where the mouth of the River Rouge spills into the Detroit River.
Considering that nobody lives there (or would want to) it's pretty much a technicality. It is counted in River Rouge's land area and does affect its population density total, FWIW.
There aren't even 5 cities in America in general with populations over 2 million people. Anyway, we were talking about Detroit vs other large cities. Does it only count if the city has over 2 million people?
You are correct, as there are only a few cities of over 2M.
Okay, name 5 cities with over 600k (30) managed by liberals that are in great financial condition.
We're seeing a real push back against the SacraMENTAL fools here in CA. Brown has shown how he is still the same old Moonbeam he always was. He had nothing to lose this being his last year in office. He basically poured on the gas, lit the match, and will walk away from his disaster... AGAIN!
Um, that's pretty easy. These are 2009 rankings, but it's a handy-dandy source: https://www2.census.gov/library/publ...es/11s0444.pdf

Going by the S&P score, Phoenix is AAA, San Antonio is AAA, San Jose is AAA, Indianapolis is AAA, Columbus OH is AAA, Austin is AAA, Baltimore (!!) is AAA, Seattle is AAA, Denver is AAA, Charlotte is AAA, Minneapolis is AAA, Raleigh is AAA, and St Paul is AAA.
Those are all liberal cities. I probably ventured into some below 600K. Sorry!

Baltimore? How are they rated AAA yet on the verge of bankruptcy?
According to an ABC report: Baltimore is on the path to financial ruin, that according to a report that's due out Wednesday. It shows that if drastic measures are not taken, it won't be long before the city goes bankrupt.
Seattle? The Port of Seattle just went bankrupt. There are at least a dozen tech companies based there that either are or will be filing (PhaseRX, Entellium...etc.). MS is why Seattle is still afloat.
The point I'm trying to make is that pure liberalism when combined with total control fails every time as soon as they run out of other peoples money. I'm not saying that it has to fail, it just does simply because spending what you don't have becomes a habit, and liberals are more inclined to do so. I guess you could say they have big hearts that they can't afford.
So in your reply, you have:
1. Gotten the population of Columbus, OH way off
2. Confused a port district with a city
3. Confused a shipping company with a port district!
I would recommend you do a little more research before you post next time.
