thought I'd share that because they are both crap cities.

Eh, Cleveland isn't that bad.

Not compaired to Detroit anyway.


Good Orchestra, Good Theatres, Part of the Best Library System in the Country (Or top 10 in anycase, it was ranked 1st last time i checked),  and Some of the best Pizza in the country.

Ceadar Point is right nearby, and that's rated the number 1 amusement park in the world.

Big Fun, some pretty decent cheap restraunts....

That's some of the stuff i'm missing about Cleveland now that i'm in Las Vegas.


Cleveland actually has a lot of cool stuff... you've just got to search it out.

Home to a higher unemployment rate than its graduation rate.

 

 

 

Thanks to fuckheads buying Japanese import cars instead of supporting American car companies. Detroit has always relied on the auto industry so they are really screwed up now.

LAWL! Good one. My Mazda3 was built in Ohio, my fiancee's Pontiac G6 was made in Tiajuana, Mexico.

No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Exactly. The CEOs at Ford, GM, and Chrysler have been getting filthy rich off of all the Americans who have bought their shit cars for decades, and people finally had enough of it. GM and Chrysler totally deserved to go bankrupt, I'm astonished that they got bailed out. If you can't make a product to compete with, then get the hell out of the market; we are capitalists here, after all.

The economy is a system which seeks out a stable balance, and when you manipulate the system a series of cascading unintended consequences change where this stable balance will be found. The problem that is at the core of any potential recovery for Detroit is that the majority of potential employees are less educated (combination of poor graduation rate and poor quality education), are less reliable (combination of drug use and high crime rate), and expect dramatically higher wages and benefits (due to unions) than other regions within the country and other countries around the world; and, to make matters worse, a company would have a much higher tax rate to set-up shop in Detroit.

At this point in time, the best option to "Fix" Detroit involves the government buying all available land and demolishing any buildings that stand on it, creating "Right to Work" legislation along with cutting spending and taxes, and doing a multi-year crackdown on crime. Realistically, over a couple of decades the government would make a fortune off of the land because as crime disappeared and companies returned the land would rapidly become very valuable.

If that is how you are going to compare the cities, then Detroit is not bad relative to Cleveland. Detroit also possesses a renowned orchestra. Detroit also possesses good theatres; Detroit possesses the largest theatre district aside from Broadway. Detroit, unlike Cleveland, actually possesses pro teams that win championships-yes, a low blow. Detroit also has a lot of cool stuff.
