Imagine trying to convince the country that they should be like a city that even Cleveland thinks it's better than. And objectively, Cleveland is better than Detroit. Exhibit A
Detroit has 1/3 the population it did in 1950, can’t sell homes for $1, and is in constant competition for the murder capital of the country. That is the same Detroit that was the richest city in the country and had the 4th largest population in 1950. Two things happened to make Detroit what it is today, white flight and democrats.
Not really. The white flight occurred because of black mass migration and skyrocketing violence, Portland is 2.5% black, Detroit was 1/3 black by 1960.
White flight occurred because of declining property values, and Chicago was already exceptionally violent, most people in Detroit weren't worried about black neighbors. You're argument would make more sense in Allentown.
Not that any of that matters, My argument still stands that Detroit would be a shithole filled with whites if white flight didn't occur. You can't make a Leftist power center not a shithole.

White Flight is still a distant second to Leftist economic policies. Without it, Detroit would just look like Portland.

What about unions making the American auto industry uncompetitive? The non-unionized plants in the South are fine. Leftist economic policy?
Yes.
Trade Unionism is Leftist. They definitely make things worse.
Black mayors
I knew it would be this video. Was not disappointed.
