Why Flint, Gary, East Saint Louis, & Camden

[BlackonBlackCrime]

Ended up extreme poverty & never rebuild

The industry left. The jobs left. The economy left. When the economics are gone the people live in poverty. When people live in poverty it becomes less maintained. Less maintenance leads to Urban Decay. Urban Decay ruined the city's makeup aesthetically. Don't ask me how. It's a similar story with each "hood" too.

I honestly think this would be a good topic for Higher Learning. A good topic for discussing urban decline. Especially in areas for people of color.
