IT'S A SUBTLE COMMENTARY ON HOW OPULENCE USED TO BE PART OF THE DETROIT LIFESTYLE, BUT THE BOATS BEING IN SUCH DISREPAIR ARE A STARK CONTRAST TO THE PLEASURE THEIR FORM PROMISES.
THE CONDITION OF THE BOATS REFLECT ON THE SPIRIT OF THE CITY.

Also, notice how most of the boats are on the ground. All of the trailers have been snatched.

THIS INDICATES THAT WHILE THE CITY SEEKS RELIEF FROM IT'S DREARY EXISTENCE, IT HAS NOT THE MEANS TO REACH THIS GOAL, MUCH LIKE THE BOAT CANNOT BE WHEELED OUT TO THE LAKE ANY LONGER

There are a lot of dead boat owners, I imagine.

Well, after the economy collapsed, there wasn't enough money to keep "The Fabled Canals of Detroit" running, and the pumps eventually clogged, leaving all the boats high and dry.

You can throw in some STALKER too. God how depressing.

YEAH GUYS I TOOK THREE LEVELS IN GRINDING POVERTY AND FOUR IN FAILED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

I REALLY DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE STARTING NEIGHBORHOOD.

If there isn't a video game analogous to what I'm seeing I can't process it.

We've all seen Robocop.

%) woah drunk

Also, I have to defend my city a little bit; you aren't seeing downtown here, which isn't any more dangerous or less fun to visit than any other major city's downtown.

Well we can't even get people to agree to pay taxes for their own cities at this point so don't set the bar too high.

speaking of hanging out downtown, if you haven't been to D'Mongo's yet you are missing out waaaaay hard

No, son. The Rhino's just...sleeping right now.

To be fair, if it's a bar or strip club or something, he WAS there in what appeared to be late morning or early afternoon. I severely doubt it was regular business hours.

DO NOT CRUSH MY DREAMS OF THE RHINO.

Fuck you, you ignorant fuck. If I didn't know for a fact you were trolling, I'd slap you.

Yes the unions sent all those jobs to Mexico and China.

It always strikes me as funny when consrvatives blame the unions for Detroit, because they could be making the Holy Grail conservative argument in that Detroit drove its entire tax base out of the city through oppressive property taxes for very little return, and it'd be a lot closer to the truth.

Pacobird: That's true too. But I hate unions and feel they're too blame for a lot of problems. They scare off business. When the Koreans and Japanese started making cars in the U.S. where did they go? They went to right to work states, where they wouldn't be harassed by union goons. "Oh those poor people in the KIA plant working for 2 cents an hour, if only they had a union."

Yes, we should be happy when the ruling class allows us to eat the scraps they give up.

Right to work states like Mississippi, which we all know has a wonderful record of human rights when it comes to employment.

"the ruling class."
