The miserable think the world evolves around them when in reality the works moves past them. Bars!

No place ever truly “crumbles and dies,” especially now that Earth’s population continue to explode and there’s no more new land to build on. Detroit still has people living in it. Same with Buffalo, Newark, Camden, and all other depressed areas. Even Rome is still around.
