Detroit, which was the fourth largest city in America back in 1960, has gone bankrupt. Kevin Swanson reviews both the tertiary causes and the fundamental causes on this segment of Generations. Could this trend affect other cities over the next 20-30 years? We had better start taking notes! The education system is spending $12,800 per student and producing an illiteracy rate of 47%. But that's not the fundamental problem with Detroit.

Great Sermon! Detroit started going DOWNHILL as soon as c/rap music took hold
I say music, because of Detroit was called Motown BEFORE Motown studios was formed
Detroit going bankrupt actually caused america to go downhill
someone told me, the MUSIC and AUTO CHASSIS styles went together and changed on the '5' of the decade,usually in the USA
It was that way or it seemed that way since from WW2 to the late 1980s
in the 70s, when the cars went small, the music went DISCO which led to RAP music
Family beyond the grave (7/25/2013)
Great Sermon! Detroit has been decimated by falling from 1.8 million residents in 1950 to 700,000 in 2013. But if a family like Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's had been living in Detroit for only 5 generations, there would be 2,500,000 of them alone today.

If so, their children and grandchildren will reclaim the 80,000 abandoned buildings. "The future belongs to those who show up." -Mark Steyn
