[quote:AdamCanFly:MV8yMDUwODcyXzM0NDY3NzI3X0M4NDI4OTg5] I went to Detroit for the first time a few weeks ago. I was shocked to see how bad of a shit hole it is. I'd seen the pictures of beautiful old houses that are just falling apart. I thought I would have to look hard to find that kind of stuff, but I didn't! It's everywhere, on every street! The only nice buildings are the strip clubs!

Detroit’s financial condition is rapidly deteriorating, and City Hall could run out of cash in December, an official told a state oversight board Monday.
City program management director William Andrews made the assessment at a meeting of the Financial Advisory Board, a city-state panel overseeing Detroit’s finances under its fiscal stability agreement with the state.
Detroit’s cash-flow crisis is “more challenging than it’s ever been and more challenged than we reported last month,” Andrews said.
The city must find new revenue sources, he said, blaming the worsening outlook on rising medical expenses and lower receipts from taxes and other revenue sources than the city had previously projected.
