Report: Detroit Bankruptcy Might Transform City Into Some Kind Of Hellish, Depopulated Wasteland

[88m3]

WASHINGTON—Following Thursday’s announcement that the city had declared bankruptcy, reports are confirming that Detroit may suddenly descend into a horrifying, depopulated hellscape, one with numerous dilapidated buildings, rampant urban decay, a failing education system, near-constant drug-related homicides, and a downtown area that looks virtually abandoned. “I fear that, very soon, we may be looking at a city that is completely and utterly unrecognizable from its booming heyday of the 1950s,” said the report’s lead author, Professor Robert Fuchs, noting that Detroit may see its population plunge to half its size amidst a mass exodus of desperate and unemployed residents. “Its citizens might as well enjoy the city while they can, because soon enough they’re going to be living in an uninhabitable wasteland where the police take nearly an hour to get to the scene of a crime, the poverty rate is three times that of the national average, and vacant warehouses look like they’ve been attacked by mortar shells.” Fuchs added that even Detroit’s once dominant auto industry could very well be transformed into a depressing, broken-down husk of its former self.

Fear Mongering...if anything the city will be bought up and gentrified once the old blacks who wont get pensions any more die or leave and more big biz and money comes into the city proper for cheap...in other words if you have land in Detroit now is the time to hold it...the gold rush is just beginning.

I'm sure the Chinese can't wait to buy it all up.

For those that think Detroit is going to come back to its glory days, I think you're crazy. It really doesn't matter if the Chinese and Canadiens buy up all of the property there. There are no jobs. The city was built on manufacturing and until we bring that back in a big way, Detroit will rot. Just because it was once a huge and prominent city does not mean it will return to that form. Detroit offers nothing. There is almost zero incentive to live there other than ridiculously cheap housing (which is cheap for a reason).

this is just foolish, non sense... Nearly every major investor is investing in Detroit right now... even Chinese... I'm sure these billionaires made their money by betting on things that will fail..

With random artistic buildings being set on fire, pensioners losing their pension this week, and Detroit officially going bankrupt....Expect some really dirty shyt to go down. I hate to say this, but Detroit is going to turn into a war zone. And everyone is fighting over the land. People will be pushed out and wealthy interests from all over are going to rape the city. The fukkery is officially on.

The east side of detroit will become the worst place on earth.. But Downtown will become a fav spot for business and businessmen.

Either way, we can't do shyt bout it, nikkas might as well try to eat good.

They better hurry up because the moves are being made and Detroit is going to look like Boston in two years. The plan to get rid of the abandoned buildings is already working...peep certain houses going up in a rash of "arson" events in the coming months. The "arsonist" won't be caught. And then you will have the older black population moving out of Detroit (or to the streets) because of this pension BS. But hey, the only benefit is that these interested powers will be looking for new leadership to step in, young people, the hipsters, they are going to make a new Detroit out of the carcass of the old. Here come the low wage jobs Detroit!

There is this loft by the river I'm looking at.... I didn't even know the D had places that freakin nice and modern. There is a cute black chick who is at the leasing office too.... My only response to all this is to move in there, and maybe try to smash her.

And that's because this is the best thing I can do at this point.

I watched New York kill all the homeless people. Now they're killing all the poor people. You're probably not far off.


I didn't say anything because I didn't care for homeless people. Then I didn't say anything in defense of poor people because I'm not particularly fond of them either.

Don't you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone!

I see all my cousin will finally move out of Detroit when their parents and grand parents die.
