Which Cities will be the next Detroit?

[rg17]

Which cities do you think will be the next Detroit? I think Los Angeles and Philadelphia will be next Detroit due to crime and ever growing socialist tyranny government.

 

[euphemia]

I think Pittsburgh will be next. Houston and Memphis are on the short list. So is Birmingham.

[Ronin Truth]

Where else have the Democrats been running things for decades too?

 

[presence]

I think Pittsburgh will be next.

I disagree with that... pittsburg has a rocking economy

[rg17]

Where else have the Democrats been running things for decades too?

Stockton, Oakland, Seattle, and San Bernadino.

 

[euphemia]

Oh, definitely Stockton.

Oddly, I don't think it will be anywhere in Ohio. Those people travel like nobody's business.

 

[euphemia]

But keep Memphis, Birmingham, and Houston on the radar.

 

[RJB]

When the dollar crashes it will be the whole country.

 

[presence]

note detroit stays blue election after election...

 

[Intoxiklown]

I think Pittsburgh will be next. Houston and Memphis are on the short list. So is Birmingham.

Having worked several years in Memphis, I can attest to the ungodly shape Memphis is in. I worked in PT's (later became The Pony), Christie's, the Gold Club, and New York New York. When I started there in eary '02, I could easily make $4k per four day week (I was an emcee, not a stripper...lol). But by '07....due to regulations and economic issues, those days were long gone. The city council didn't think ahead, that by hurting those clubs, they drove those girls to the street to sell ass instead of just showing it in a controlled and secure enviorment.

Yay politicians!


Living in Dothan, Alabama, and being fairly close to Birmingham, I can attest how seriously broke that city is as well. Imagine the worst pot holed streets you've ever driven on. Now you have a good idea of what driving pretty much anywhere in Birmingham is like.

 

[DamianTV]

Sacramento? Maybe the whole state of California? Economic collapse is quick, but it isnt that quick. We will have a few canaries in the coalmine, but few will pay a damn bit of attention.

When the collapse does occur, as RJB said, it will be the whole country, but, it wont stop there. A LOT of countries are going to be severely affected by a collapse of their reserve currency.

 

[BamaAla]

But keep Memphis, Birmingham, and Houston on the radar.

Having worked several years in Memphis, I can attest to the ungodly shape Memphis is in. I worked in PT's (later became The Pony), Christie's, the Gold Club, and New York New York. When I started there in eary '02, I could easily make $4k per four day week (I was an emcee, not a stripper...lol). But by '07....due to regulations and economic issues, those days were long gone. The city council didn't think ahead, that by hurting those clubs, they drove those girls to the street to sell ass instead of just showing it in a controlled and secure enviorment.

Yay politicians!


Living in Dothan, Alabama, and being fairly close to Birmingham, I can attest how seriously broke that city is as well. Imagine the worst pot holed streets you've ever driven on. Now you have a good idea of what driving pretty much anywhere in Birmingham is like.

Not seeing B'ham. I work in construction (heavy commercial to medium industrial and healthcare) and there aren't enough sub contractors in town to keep up. Nashville and Huntsville are booming too, so we are looking to Atlanta and beyond to meet demand. Of course it could all fall on its head tomorrow, but right now it's going nuts. Droves of young people are flocking downtown as we have seen the revitalization of Crestwood, Avondale, and the loft district on the North Side; now Norwood is starting to gain some traction. I still like living in Vestavia myself.

To be fair, the construction in Birmingham does make traffic atrocious after 8am (coming in on 231 for example). Dothan is booming as well, and maybe Birmingham has turned it around in the past 18 months or so. But it was that time frame people weredoing hatever it took to get out of that city.

Edit:

What are they using to pull people with? In Dothan, it's the new D.O. school to go along with an already huge medical community.

I agree about Birmingham doing well. I did a lot of travel in that state working for one company. Alabama does well and can be quite sophisticated despite what bigoted progressives say.
