Here's a little video on the Detroit situation and it sure isn't
pretty.

There appears to be no reason that Detroit is unique. This
should serve as a "red flag" to the residents of all large urban
areas and their suburbs about can and will happen when the major
employers leave, either through bankruptcy/liquidation or
relocation/outsourcing, possibly resulting from
over-regulation/taxation, or being used as a "bargaining chip"
(and sold out) by our fearless trade negotiators.

I am sure that the neighbors to the 50$ house [before it was
priced at 50$] said something like "Well the car companies may be
closing down, but I don't work for a car company, or a car
company supplier, so I'll be OK."
