Unions. The total amount of manufacturing per square mile in the US is up in most places since the center of Detroit's heyday. Seems they exported their jobs to more than just china over that period.
Let unions run things and shit will get shut down eventually. Patents expire so even if excluding that methods change. Blank corporation may have some fixed comparative advantage that makes it so it can still get work despite a union but that advantage will slip away with time and all you will have is a shell. Apply it to enough businesses in the same area, you get Detroit. Detroit isn't a story, it's a thousand miniature stories of why a specific business didn't want to work there anymore that sums up in aggregate.

Absolutely mind boggling that the globalist agenda can destroy cities around the planet by bombing the shit out of them. Like Aleppo,Syria for example. http://germancenter.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/aleppo-syria-destruction06.jpg And then do the exact same thing without dropping one single bomb, instead remove most means of income, which means no jobs, no food, no city resources, nothing!! the populace is then displaced and I would bet a lot of them are homeless now. Well, I guess at least they didn't have fucking bombs dropping on them.

The ruins of Detroit should be bought and turned into urban combat training centers. Then rent them to the government.

Are you sure this isn't a set from Robocop?

Think District 9, but with thugs instead of aliens. Oh, wait...they just used the existing slums for those scenes...sooo....Chiawelo (as it was in 2009)...but on a global scale.
