Won't be reformed so long as Dems are in charge there. Maybe when infastructure talks happen it will fix things but who knows?
Just like every other poor place they are gentrifying.
It's happening in downtown Bridgeport here in CT.
entire neighborhoods are torn down cause they're abandaoned
Hmm, I heard that Detroit has some of the strictest Gun Control
No idea to what extent
Built a big ass bass pro shop, put in a Chipotle and Starbucks right there in the middle of a rundown part of town
Yeah, not that it helps any.
Now they are putting in a hotel and bowling alley
I mean, if there is one thing I dont have but I will relentlessly support, its the right to bear arms.
Also yes, demolishing long abandoned buildings does help with crime a bit.
Or just making the place less of a shithole. People there probably feel abandoned as well.
Turns out criminals don't like doing business in open lots where everyone can see as mucb
Now, if only we could solve the homeless issue...
...oh wait...
*and the poverty*
If only they could solve the local job market
Only giving welfare to people who work is a great start. (not that I like the idea of welfare really)
They have factories there? Or is it used to?
Used to be a big factory area
Last I heard they had car factories there.
most of the large industry left in the 70's
Leaving cause of what? Dem regulations or taxes?
Yeah so they need to make new jobs.
Automation I think
Well, on top of that, those jobs are also becoming more and more automated.
outsourcing
Didn't need the line workers
Could get more cars out of the factories they had
Probably also moved to a cheaper state too
Basically just the market changed
So basically, no jobs in the area
Basically
southern states offer great insentives for automakers, so a lot of them moved there
Well, it made a vicious circle. Everyone became unemployed in a short amount of time, then before any new business really moved in the crime had risen I think making it not exactly hospitiable to new businesses.
The people who could afford to move away and wanted to did.
same story for most the midwest
So the only people left we're too poor or too stubborn to leave.
Basically
Story of a lot of factory towns
