Detroit does have some thing in common with LA , both cities removed their amazing rail lines., however LA has made huge gains in replacing them.

LA has a huge advantage ... weather and the movie industry and tourist industry and ... yada yada yada LOL
True about the weather.

The auto industry of course [[which is comparably far more cyclical with its ups and downs, as even in recessions people still watch movies/television and listen to music) was Detroit's equivalent to LA's entertainment industry...
