You DO realize that Kuwait City looked better after the invasion, and Baghdad still does, right?
*laugh*
Oh I am well aware there's quite a few cities (mogadishu for one) to which adding twenty megatons would constitute an improvement.
For me Detroit was an upgrade, since I came up from the infamous ghettos of Baltimore as popularized by Homicide and The Wire - believe me, it ain't nowhere near as glamorous when it's at point blank range - as a result, driving a cab in Flint, and then downtown, was still a better gig than tryin to do any freakin thing in Baltimore without gettin shot, and it ain't like the cops there are any less corrupt neither.
I actually went to see Sum of all fears in the theatre just to watch Baltimore get what it had comin, and was a little dissappointed by the bang not nearly bein big enough...
At least up here in Michigan yer not so likely to get arrested for self defense, since the locals have about zip-point-zero respect for anything that comes between them and the second Amendment, and damn do I love em for it - my Tapco-Saiga with that monster drum is as close as one can get to the ultimate heresy of "too much gun" and not go belt fed.
Thing with a big city is that you need the industry infrastructure to provide sufficient employment for the population, and once you lose that (thank you, outsourcing, grr) it's just a ticking bomb waitin to go off until the population falls low enough to thin out the resource competition.
Sure, you can buy em off for a while, but someone's gonna have to pay the bill for that sooner or later, and I would rather it not be our kids and grandkids, cause they deserve more than the future of *our* failures.
I don't have a lotta sympathy for the auto industry myself, since assembled in mexico with chinese parts is not by my definition "american made", and sorely offends me in light of "foreign" companies like Nissan actually building them here and employing americans to do so.
I been watchin GM run headfirst to their own destruction for over a decade now with one hand on the throttle pushin it to max screamin yeehaw all the way, hell, my ex used to work in their management - they were deliberately planning on being bailed out since 2003, and deliberately sabotaged quite a few gov-subsidised alt-fuel projects just to milk them for coin on a design they KNEW wouldn't work, which was damn amusing when one came pretty close despite being deliberately designed to fail and them scrambling to screw it up worse...
If they'd actually put that effort into R&D instead of milking the system, they might have actually had a viable product to market, but instead they refused to adapt and drove their business model headlong off a cliff, which is all too common these days, and should be allowed to happen, painful though it may be, instead supporting OBVIOUSLY failed structures with more and more of our tax dime.
Anyhows, Detroit might suck, but it certainly sucks less than Baltimore.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it
