I'm visiting relatives in Michigan this week and landed at the airport in Detroit. That area and a few others visited by tourists and people who come from out of town to spend money are generally well-kept, but other sections have problems like this.
"Left behind" was the phrase writers Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins borrowed to write their series of books on people who remained on Earth when the true believers were gathered up to heaven. It's also a pretty good description of the people who live in one of America's iconic cities. A variety of corporate and corporate-crony corrupt folks used it to make as much money as they could and then got out. What we see in the bankrupt Detroit of 2013 are those whom they left behind.
Only I'm not sure that "heaven" will play any role in this particular set of events.
