@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.
@robertgorell These people are from Michigan and they say you're wrong. http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/12832 @MackinacCenter
@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 and a cow got the rap...
@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 (Although I'm not sure how much of that is just annexation, but Illinois has rapid growth as well http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/resapport/states/illinois.pdf …)
@BeschlossDC Looks like what conservatives and Republicans did to our economy the last 25 years
@BeschlossDC contrast that with the skyline today! Amazing - that's where "windy city" came from...what it took to re-build Chicago!
