Wild Wild Midwest

"Even in a city that’s used to things being pretty tough—remember the good old days of 2006, when everybody was talking about a “one-state recession�?—the last few years have been really bad. Detroit’s politics are in turmoil following the scandal surrounding Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick; the school system’s been taken over by the state; and in case you just returned from Mars, the auto industry—the fulcrum on which the fate of the entire region teeters—is not doing so well.

Odd as it may sound, this is why you should visit Detroit now. If and when money ever comes in, you can be sure much of its eerie beauty will be lost forever. If revitalization doesn’t happen, it’s Beyond Thunderdome. "

“Detroit is the most democratic city in America...�

I think "anarchistic" would be more apt.
