And irrelevant on its face. You still have a huge problem area planted in the middle of a 4 million people metro area. It basically still has to be fixed.

And note the prime source of revenue in Detroit is income tax paid by suburbanites.

Stockton, Fresno,Sacramento, Riverside, St. Louis, Miami, Hialeah, Cleveland, New Orleans. Gary as a sample off the top. Try Google you can probably do better.

And then Atlanta as a black majority democratic city in no danger of crashing.
