Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Detroit has gotten a lot better in the past few years, it’s been a very impressive turnaround for the city, while Trump still only knows it as the city with those evil black people
Trump still thinks Johnny Carson is alive. That fact would have been non stop news for a week of Biden had said it.
And Hannibal
The one with the alpine elephants?
Even this is outdated!
Detroit was getting better in like 2015 and was very nice to live in 2017.
Today, 7 years later. It's objectively nice. Lots of old and forgotten buildings now hold nice restaurants, hotels, bars, stores, you name it.
Its amazing what they've done and it only gets better each year.
You're not wrong, but we really really need to spread the wealth (as it were) from downtown and midtown out to the neighborhoods. If you just drive a mile down Jefferson from the Ren Cen and hang a left on Chene you will immediately see what I'm talking about.
Perhaps some areas, but it was definitely not looking its best around 2015. This is coming from an outsider who just saw a town/city which had lost itself and was still getting back on its feet. There was very much a case of people who had lost a lot and it just did not quite feel safe. I don't doubt it is looking up now, I just didn't see it at the time (this would have been around 2014 - 2015).
