This'd be a losing formula anywhere and the city is getting what it deserves. Meanwhile, the South, which is largely anti-union is doing just fine. While UAW plants in Michigan keep closing, new ones are taking their place all over the South.

Michigan can either make the decision to get competitive or it continue to be left behind.

Is the south is doing just fine? Aren't half the condos in Miami sitting empty? How about Chicago, NY, and Boston which are largely UNION? How are those areas doing? Are there entire developements sitting empty like in Miami and Mexifornia?
