    In 1980, 5 of the top 10 highest earning cities in the US were in Michigan. Today, none of them are. Interesting lesson.https://twitter.com/bkavoussi/status/1130620965245857798 …

    The ten highest-earning cities in 1980 vs. 2016 (from Jump-Starting America). The SF Bay Area has effectively taken Michigan's place. The fact that Michigan is no longer in the top 10 shows how fleeting economic success can be. https://www.amazon.com/Jump-Starting-America-Breakthrough-Economic-American/dp/1541762487 … pic.twitter.com/nEchEfyWpc

        The downfall of Detroit and Flint is especially sobering. An abandoned school in Detroit:pic.twitter.com/ja82J07KU5

        I was born in Monroe, Michigan in 1979. My dad took a contract gig out there on a power plant as a mechanical engineer. A lot of industrial and manufacturing.

        Compared to SF, any one industry in NYC can decline and the city will still be fine. Look at asking rents in Manhattan post financial crisis - peak to trough was just a small dip compared to .com implosion effect on rents in SF.
