    Detroit was oversold on the automobile as a mass transit option and built a freeway system through the city that destroyed neighborhoods. Sparkling new suburban communities drew off the affluence and the interstate highway system made it easier for commuter to go into and out of the city. When the industrial and commercial base contracted, Detroit became a place to pass through rather than to go to. And the industrialists that promoted this automobile based transportation system were Republican.

      Wealthy Republicans make the messes, move away taking their resources with them, and leave others to clean-up after them. Then they have the audacity to blame the ones left behind.
