Why is Detroit shrinking?

[iheartthed]

Nain and Iheartthed :the jury is still out on the economic impacts of the Los Angeles riot [[which was not as severe as Detroit's 1967 event)

This started on a blatantly wrong premise, so nothing more needs to be said than this: L.A's riot was the worse riot in American history. More people died [[LA: 53 vs DET: 43) and 2) the cost of damages was far more more [[$1B 1992 dollars vs $210M 1992 dollars). This riot did not hurt L.A.'s property values long term nor did it cause the city to go into a 6 decade death spiral.
