Whether you live in Michigan, New York, California, etc... I'm sure you have an idea (and it probably isn't that far off) of what Detroit is like. If not Detroit then I'm sure you know about Camden, NJ, Los Angeles, CA, and others.
People give a lot of reasons for why Detroit has become what it is today. There are different factors to consider. Why do you think Detroit (and cities like Detroit) have become the wasteland they are?

The industry moved away. Mostly to Japan and China.
Jobs can now be online, so people have moved to Arizona, California, Nevada etc where the weather is better.
The natural resource of jobs in cold States has mostly dried up, so people in the US are migrating to weather and jobs.

The crooked governing bodies that have been in power for decades is the main reason for the deteriorating condition of Detroit.

Politicians do no longer administration international financial developments. without hassle, the motor vehicle marketplace began to enhance international opposition and there have been selections different than what American motor vehicle manufacturers presented. there have been additionally captive imports of autos that bore American form names yet have been made distant places extra affordably making use of non union hard artwork. whilst northeastern US fabrics marketplace relocated in the south, it harm those cities. And whilst those self same industries abandoned the south to distant places, it harm southern production cities too. steel cities which includes Pittsburgh and different such facilities in Ohio suffered inhabitants loss and decline. and you may't see it, yet there is low inhabitants in the northwestern plains states. author Frank Popper has pronounced consolidating the inhabitants and recreating a "buffalo commons." How very unhappy which you think of that there might desire to be "somebody in charge." and how unhappy that the different responder is in a position to bounce in and blame politicians. I weep for the way forward for our democracy.....

The economy played the biggest part. Unions and governance had very little to do with it. They only responded as one would expect them to in the circumstances. The economy of Detroit was simply too one-sided and unprepared to deal with globalization.

Manufacturing was allowed to decay and die which destroyed the economy of many of those cities and now the infrastructure has decayed and hopelessness set in.

Poverty contributed by lack of education, boredom, thugs, crime, DRUGS. Wherever there are uneducated, bored, poor, ghetto, unsupervised, hoodlums that have nothing but time on there hands, you are going to get crime. Crime overtakes a city that is bordering on poverty. Than poverty is an invitation to all lazy, drug dealing, killing thugs because they can (now) use it as an excuse(to how they were raised.) Please... VICTIMS they cry as they ruin cities.

High taxation and social programs and political correctness.
High taxation discourages investment in an area, causing business and capital to flee the area.
Social programs drain government funds and encourage the very problems they're meant to help.
Political correctness makes it impossible to address the real causes of the area's problems, which perpetuates and exacerbates them.
