The collapse of the blue collar put millions out of jobs. Gary, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland ect were all built upon industrialization as well as the Great Migration hence the large number of blacks in these cities.
Crack hit these places harder as well due to the already dwindling incomes of the residents and thus the cheapest drugs were more prevalent.
Lastly, these cities only have about 4 months (May-September) of true summer, as some one said thats only 4 months to be outdoors on any sort of consistent basis, thus the streets move 5x as fast in the summer. Its not New York where a million nikkas are doing shyt at any given time. So that gives you less than half a year to get it in.
Pre-Katrina New Orleans i never really understood.
Acutally what you said can be applied to some of the south. Before the civil war it was all about NO, Charleston, Savannah. Lincoln sonned them and those and by the time those cities recovered the center of the south had moved to Atlanta and the money had moved west to Dallas and Houston. New Orelans, Birmingham and Louisville (before the merger) had similar population declines to the midwest.
Alot of east coast cities like Camden, Trenton, WIlmington, baltimore and parts of philly have the same issues as the Rust belt also. And those cities are just as fukked up as Gary, Flint and the rest..
The only city that really improved is NYC.

The north had big cities built on industrialized labor, then they gutted those and sent the jobs overseas, so you had all these people who migrated north and left their families down south to come north and now have nothing to show for it and are disconnected from their roots, so they ended up in huge projects like Cabrini Greens and Robert Taylors and all these ghettos all over the midwest
Plus, because of all the cities are industrialized, you get exposed to all that pollution and lead and shyt, which has been shown to correlate to violence in big cities. It's totally fukked up.
Yeah, I don't think that's people from Flint talking about "midwest values". That sounds more like people from Iowa and Kansas and North Dakota.

The Rust Belt is the struggle belt right now considering the historical path of the economy for the last 30-40 years.
them cities had no clue to adjust to change.. it's like blockbuster.. nexflix and redbox and came around and it took them months to figure out how to make a change and buy then it was 2 late..
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio was the heart of the automotive industry and u had blacks and whites raising there families off that industry but the head of these companies like ford, chrysler, chevy took years to adapt to change unlike the european car dealers and boom them companies tank because of bad executives..
and the politicians of those states had no fukin clue on how to get other industries to come to there area and by then the south had takin over from smarter and better tax rates and cheaper cost of living..
Plus why the fuk michigan, ohio and indiana have housing the same prices of places on the east and west coast
stop trying to be like other places and do what made your city and state what it once was, but also keeping and eye on change in the business industry.
