It amazes me how everything to do with Detroit, from trains to industry to infrastructure to buildings, to sidewalks and granite blocks on a fucking bridge can be put down to political stupidity…
Mostly, but not solely, Democrat stupidity…
Just… Fuck. Yeah, yeah, racial tensions play a big part, and Canada is partly responsible for this particular shitfuckery (the “granite blocks” bit is… Weird.) but honestly, it really is the prime example, the “dictionary definition”, almost, of *how to kill a fucking city…
Like, christ, are people around the “Great Lakes Megalopolis” (which is apparently a thing) simply incapable of planning, or what??! 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah. And it’s sad because Detroit has objectively some of the most beautiful surviving grand old buildings in the US (The Roxy and Michigan Theaters, Michigan Central Station, the Maritime Sailors Cathedral, etc. And I suppose this bridge, at a stretch.), and yet…
Not to mention some fucking cool cultural enclaves, like what is left of Poletown, and Mexican Town…
They’ve fucking destroyed all that cultural capital, for what exactly??
As you say, the fucking Muslims aren’t gonna save them, lol…
Did you know that in the mid-80s, the city of Detroit used “eminent domain” to demolish an entire thriving suburb (old Poletown), including their church, to build a GM plant, which then itself closed in 2020… And is now lying empty, of course.
Fucking scumbag bastards could have put it anywhere, but nup, middle of Poletown, right where these houses are, it is! 🤦🏻♂️
Just… Fucking hell. I didn’t know about that until today…
Apparently the mayor (some really dodgy cunt whose name I have already forgotten) was “personally involved”, because of course he was…

13% of them are, and they burned down so much of Detroit fifty years ago that the city's never going to be fully rebuilt and re-occupied.
Then, because they vote left, the city started importing Mohammedians. It's all downhill from here.

Though, on the other side, nor will GM, clearly…

No, but when they finally cotton on to what the Muslims mean when they call them 'zinji', it'll be fun to watch.
