Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ftw
-
Oh look at these flattering angles of hiroshima and these unflattering angles of a former crackhouse in detroit.
It's like myspace angles, for cities.
-
They show a pic of old Tiger Stadium like the Tigers abandoned the place and just left town.
-
Wow, that might have been the worst blog post I have ever seen.
-
well duh, everything in Nagasaki and Hiroshima is less than 64 years old. A lot of Detroit is older than that.

Not really the case with Nagasaki. Our bomber "missed" and landed its bomb in a valley away from the center of the city. Essentially Nuked OP instead of KC.

Also, no street level shots of buildings were taken in Japan. All shots were overhead shots taken at nighttime, when all of the lights made everything look much better. No mention on water quality or overall health of the people in those cities, either. Sure, we could nuke Detroit, and rebuild it to be more aesthetically pleasing in 10 years than it is now, but it would still be unsafe to live there. Radiation levels have no effect on a city's ability to construct new buildings.

@WorldofIsaac: Detroit's official census numbers: 713,777...down 25% in last decade

I know!

Estimates are 70k fatalities and 75k injuries. The city had a population of about 263k at the time, so it seems like the bomb landed in a pretty central location. :ck:

Current radiation levels in Hiroshima are 10,000,000 times lower than dangerous levels...

You sure the current levels are that low?

Are you considering dangerous levels as levels that will mutate your babies or levels that will give you cancer if you live there for 15 years?

Ferris Wheels are the worst.

Yes, current levels are equivalent to the world wide averages.

Dangerous = levels that can cause any harm.

@WorldofIsaac: Detroit's official census numbers: 713,777...down 25% in last decade
The original blog post was heavy-handed and one-sided, but DAMN, Detroit has infrastructure for 1,850,000 people and now only 700,000 live there. There's got to be a lot of abandoned/wrecked buildings there.

Two days before I saw that stat, I was talking with a vendor I use that lives in a Detroit suburb. She said that their neighborhood HOA has 25% delinquency(she explained this as those homes being delinquent on their dues because no one lived there).
Funny that there is a direct correlation between the foreclosures in her neighborhood and the pop decrease of the city as a whole.

Hope that the population goes low enough that the Pistons move to Kansas City :crossfingers:

You mean he killed the upper class instead of the proletariat? Lenin was right.

Report from Detroit:
a legit up and coming art/music scene
hipsters EVERYWHERE
all non hipster white people are absolutely terrified of black people and even more racist than before
these same white people have extended conversations about their car and burglar alarms
these same white people tell break-in stories trying to top each other
rich white people seem to be buying up all the real estate and taking advantage of ridic tax breaks
-
go for it, KK

Who can blame them? Detroit real estate is a great investment right now.
