People lived here in the past because they worked in factories making things. Now many of the factories have gone. The auto industry in the past was mostly concentrated here. Later auto factories went to other states and left Detroit. Part of the exodus.
If the people want to eat they find jobs somewhere else and move. There are plenty of empty and near empty coal towns in PA that died when the coal ran out. They lost their purpose and folks had to go elsewhere for work.
Detroit has lost its purpose. Until another one emerges folks will keep on moving out. Wind is most likely the answer. The mechanics and factory space is here for this kind of work. Just a matter of finding the funding and moving along with it.
