you city is the wackest city on the list ( really Birmingham and Oakland are). Plus you guys are losing billions of dollars worth of business to Detroit. Museum and Art districts is all u guys have going for u.
You can do business here for cheaper and we have wealthier nicer looking Metro Areas, plus museums and art districts. so most of the other wack cities like Buffalo and the rest on the list will have to watch Detroit grow over the next ten years as they fall. Cleveland and Buffalo both have things to do, but will basically be the same in 10 years.
It should happen this way though, the middle class was formed here. Michigan is America.
I don't want to beef with a fellow Midwest native, but last time I came to Detroit it was straight status. It's been a couple years but I think the two cities are similar. Industrial boom, technological recession, and now they are coming back.
