So cities like Detroit became fantastically wealthy without rich people, and when they moved in it ruined the city.

It wasn't their presence - just their greed.

The rich people moved down the street to Grosse Point, after they shut down the factories and exported all of the jobs, leaving a desolate and crime ridden city behind them.
Maybe if we throw more money at them?

I get a bit loud when drinking But I suspect you're confusing me for someone else
Heck Cleveland was fantastically wealthy. Dad says they passed a tax, they called it the 'Rockefeller tax', and all the rich people moved out. Since then it's been a workers' paradise.

Green flight to the 'burbs?
Pete's a libby? LMAO! Don't you hate that? I once was called out as conservative. It's like visiting someones house that you really don't want to visit an' their little dog starts humping your leg. You know it ain't polite to give the cur a swift kick in the ass but you do it anyways.

How did it become wealthy in the first place? Government regulation? Or men with vision desiring wealth?

I thought wealth was the outcome of doing a good job, creating a good product, etc. Now wealth has become the goal, not the result.
