what i'm saying is that i've trekked through endless skyscrapers for hours in vancouver and toronto and montreal, but detroit's not a concrete jungle like that.

you get over a few highways surrounding the core and it's just sprawls of residential houses for miles in every direction. there's no sea of concrete in detroit. it's actually relatively lush.
this didn't take long and there's more coming. they're building a giant battery plant on the edge of town that might never open.

this factory wasn't created by nafta; it opened in 1928. a lot of the history of the ford era, including the original home of the detroit red wings, was actually in windsor, not detroit.

detroit is a sprawling mess, but it's actually a pretty small city. so is windsor. in recent decades they've been pointed right across from each other.
