Commuter tax
I used to live in Ann Arbor and work in that festering shit hole called Detroit. I had to pay city income tax there even though I lived 43 miles away.
I never saw evidence that a single cent of my municipal taxes went toward maintaining infrastructure.

I see there's a Barry St.
and that it would likely take the entire funds of a medium-size normal town, just to raze and haul away
[to Where?] all that debris.
Eeerie the slide-show: premonitions of the dis-USA, should even one more Repo take both Houses and/or The Prez.
Probably too, that tragedy would kill lots of things worldwide (not just our bombs..) in that the oil would flow copiously, further enriching the 0.001%
(only a few of those shot/maimed/pied? as the others furnish their island estates, evacuate, gloat and golf.
Is inculcated-intransigence incurable? (as with 8 Years of the Shogunate.) How do we 'imagine' some poor working-sod in a fly-over State
..voting-in another Repo?
Surely this is a dream all shall awake-from. Tomorrow?

It's not just the Repos.
It's the multi-nationals. The Repos are just their tools.

Erm...
I work downtown. Downtown and midtown, other than the occasional absentee landlord, are fine.
Detroit's boundaries are just too big for its tax base right now. The town center is doing much better than one might think.

Back in the 90s
WSU and environs were a shit hole in the mid 90s. I haven't been back since. Glad things are getting better.

Midtown is doing quite well.
Several people I work with live in Midtown and love it.
