I had to leave that out because otherwise I'll be shunned and called a tribal. Many groups of people (I think you know which) for generations go through poverty and turn nothing into nothing and don't accomplish much. Our American ancestors from Italy, Germany, Britain and all over were able to turn nothing into something, why can't our people do that? Also Baltimore is also going through a White Flight.
Because we're ignorant. We would rather worry about something going on in loving Syria than something happening in our own neighborhoods. Detroit IS the future of more american cities as more jobs are outsourced. Cities with jobs that have lasted forever, like NYC or Hollywood, that aren't dependent on industries, will survive, but other cities, name Jacksonville because of its root in ports and its river, take away that and you don't have much.
