        @BeschlossDC Bears some resemblance to the results of Democratic leadership in Detroit

        @0ryuge Right, because Detroit's decline was all about partisan politics. Learn something about its history before making glib comments.

        @robertgorell OTOH, the comment *was* glib. OTOH, 50 years of Dem rule and "progressive' policies are not unrelated to Detroit's decline.

        @0ryuge Cronyism is cronyism, whether it be D or R. No denying that. Your comment still ignores the actual history that led to the decline.

        @0ryuge "Progressive" policies had nothing to do with it. You have no idea what you're talking about. Anyone from Detroit will say the same.

        @0ryuge @MackinacCenter There are millions of stupid people in the state of Michigan who don't know anything about Detroit or its history.

        @robertgorell LOL! And if it turned out that the author was from Detroit and knew as much as you, you still call her wrong. @MackinacCenter

        @BeschlossDC Fire may have slowed city growth. Chicago "only" grew by 68% from 1870-1880, vs. 174% from 1860-1870. http://tigger.uic.edu/depts/ahaa/imagebase/chimaps/mcclendon.html … …

        @BeschlossDC contrast that with the skyline today! Amazing - that's where "windy city" came from...what it took to re-build Chicago!
