ya but the difference is that detroit in itself has gone to **** over the years...meaning the entire city.

why this blows my mind is that this is part of New York City which is supposed to be the greatest city on earth.

1)Evacuate (Everyone gtfo)
2)Level (By level I mean bomb the **** out of the area)
3)Rebuild (Walmart supercentre, YMCA, Adecco Job Agency office, Apartments etc)

Thank you.
