Detroitification

n.

Detroitification refers to the destruction of a city, state or nation through draining money from hardworking individuals to pay for the cushy compensation and retirement of unproductive public "servants." When paired with corruption, Detroitification can skeletonize a city in just a few years.

The term "Detroitification" was coined by Michigan policy analyst Jack McHugh in 2007.
Gentrification is less of a problem in the U.S. than Detroitification.

Detroit Become Human

A story based video game with hot characters plot twists and over 99 possible endings. Detroit Become Human is a PS4 exclusive game took 4.5 years to make but it was worth it because its the best game I have ever played and I would vote 5 stars if I could because I loved the game. The three characters are Connor Markus and Kara and I feel anyone can fall in love with the story they chose to make and the characters they are given and over all I believe all PS4 users should check out this game
