Post pics of your country's worst city.

Will Detroit ever recover?
>>
>>57403300
No. It's industry is useless in our current economy, and I hate to be that guy, but blacks moving in HAS caused land value to plummet and crime to rise.
>>
>>57403365
>blacks moving in
havent they been there forever? or at least for the past... 50 years? because they built the cars as laborers back then right?
>>
>>57403300
Of course it will. Everything does eventually.

In a decade's time, its low property values will be a draw as people are priced out of more and more cities.
>>
>>57403204
Anyone who says otherwise is insane

>>57403300
not unless we get extremely protectionist/stop the East Asians from dumping all their shit onto us. Detroit can't recover rn because Japanese and other east Asians make cars and other industrial goods too cheap.
>>
>>57403440
They were there, its just everyone else left and they multiplied exponentially. They are a result of Detroit's failure, not a cause.
>>
>>57403440
Not really. Up until the 1950s-60s it was a predominantly white city. The promise of high-paying jobs brought in loads of blacks from the south, similar to Chicago. However, unlike Chicago, whites fled the city en masse due to falling costs of living. And since the car industry left the city in the 60s and then the US car industry as a whole was shit afterward, the city went to hell.

You might think it's Marseille, but it's actually Roubaix

>falling costs of living
wait why is this a problem? why would falling costs of living drive people away?
>>
>>57403662
I phrased that wrong. I meant falling land value, which is not a good thing.

>>57403300
Over time.

Michigan needs to be a business tax haven like Delaware if it wants to attract industry again.

Falling prices leads to poor people moving in and so an increase in crime, it also means you can't sell the property later for a profit, (like once yo kids move out or you get a new job etc.)

Quite a few cities in Norway look pretty unpleasant tbqh. That said, it does have an okay city centre, and okay surrounding nature. But that doesn't make up for the commies, immigrants or overall heavy industrial feel of the place.
