Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

True, but you live in one of the three or four most economically important cities in the world.  And, although there are plenty of people who hate New York, there's not exactly a shortage of people in the world who want to live there, especially now that it's a lot safer and much more trendy.

These other folks live in places like Gary, which ranks somewhere between Camden and the Sixth Circle of Hell in appeal.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.

Camden is right across from Philly, don't see why it couldn't go the Jersey City, northern Manhattan route. Ditto for similar reasons for Gary. Places like Flint which aren't next to desirable urban centers with at least reasonably functional central business districts are a much more difficult case. Though some small old textile cities have done ok in NE, others not so much.
