I know race is a forbidden topic, but if you ignore any factor you will fail in your endeavor.

Detroit, today, is in receivership (bankruptcy) .

I doubt that there is any near term solution for Cleveland.

And Casino’s are an easy way to rip off stupid people. Gambling is not good. It is a form of robbery.

Solution? Massive compulsory education forever. Incarcerate politicians who steal.

The greater part of the city’s population has NOT moved to other states, but rather to outlying areas where the taxes are lower and the services are better.(This is what really is referred to as White Flight.) The city has a huge infrastructure, and a tax base that can no longer support it. However, this is not due so much to the factories overseas as to the huge social mistake called forced busing that started in the early 80′s. Families moved from long-established neighborhoods to small towns and rural areas to provide a better education and safer environment for their children. Now, as for the Unions, they were created to level the playing field for workers who were poorly treated by some unscrupulous business owners. It is absolutely untrue that every factory in Cleveland was, or is, unionized. As far as Cleveland being a “nothing” city– that is also totally untrue. The metropolitan area is still thriving, and a new County Council seems to be doing some good toward helping the city and inner ring suburbs attract businesses and jobs, especially in the medical sector. A new casino is slated to open the beginning of 2012, giving the city a needed shot in the arm which should enable other plans to move forward.

Although some of your arguments may be correct, you delve in the realm of mistaking correlation for causation which created this disappointing read.
