Detroit has been called the most depressing city in the nation.
Quote:Detroit has room for two million people, but there are only about 900,000 left. Nature and entropy are having their way with vast stretches of Detroit, a city that has been punished by the implosion of the auto industry but that began failing in fundamental ways many years before that. Thousands of homes have fallen down and been hauled away, leaving behind a patchwork of empty lots.
The biggest vibe in many of these neighborhoods is not one of fear, but for a visitor, loneliness. Even in the downtown area, it’s as if a directive has gone out to flee, and the ones who remain missed the memo.
