manufacturing industries, these communities fell on hard times, and devolved into decrepit remnants of what they once were. These areas soon became overcrowded, underfunded, and mistreated.

For example, St. Louis lost a larger % of its population, and now has far worse violent crime, but there is not a standalone article called "Decline of St. Louis"

PeacePeace has since been banned from Knowledge via community consensus. I believe it’s safe to keep the Detroit Resurgence section intact.
