I somehow doubt that anyone possibly felt any ounce of surprised by this. Detroit has rotted over the years all culminating into it's bankruptcy. I agree, it's kind of sad. But not surprising.

I see Detroit as never coming back to being what it used to be. Maybe, just maybe, they might get out of bankruptcy and be alright. But they'll never be a useful city. No company wants to invest their time and money there.

Also, a question. What other cities have filed for bankruptcy in recent memory? I can't think of any...
