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.

Detroitification

Imagine a city that in 1950 was home to 2 million residents. Over 70 years many people have moved away and now the population is only around 600,000 people. The remaining population still lives in the city, but there is less density, greater distance between population centers, etc. This makes the delivery of utilities and the deployment of crucial services like road paving and snow removal more difficult. The cost of maintaining an infrastructure meant for 2 million people on the tax dollars of 600,000 people becomes almost impossible to do.

China has a TFR of 1.3 and 155 cities with more than 1 million people. Detroitification is going to be a major problem for them.

Idetroitification

Idetroitification is a verification pass that determines whether an individual can make jokes about poverty (aka da hood) or not. Its mainly asked at people who live in decent-at-worst neighborhoods. It's mixed up with the words "Identification" and "Detroit" because cities in America such as Detroit have many poor neighborhoods that have houses that are very cheap and mostly old and abandoned. These types of neighborhoods are called "Da Hood" as it is usually referred to that name from people of african or hispanic diaspora.

(Travis, an 16 year old asian boy is listening to a song on SoundCloud on his laptop. He seems to be listening to a song that sounds like an indescribable level of ass music. in the comment section, he decides to type in the commonly said phrase, "WE NOT MAKING IT OUT OF THE HOOD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🗣🗣‼️❗️" As he types the phrase, his girlfriend, Ashley-Scott, a black 16-year-old former hood veteran, walks inside the clean and aesthetically pleasing dorm room and sees light radiating on Travis' face from behind. She closes the door behind her and takes off her clothes before putting on more comfortable ones.)

Ash: Hey boo, how you doin'?

Travis: Oh hey babe, I'm just typing this comment

Ash: Ok, I see you, whats it about?

Travis: so like, you know how this song sounds like ass? so when people say its trash they say stuff like "WE AIN'T MAKING IT OUT DA HOOD WITH THIS ONE" And they put these like, fire emojis and stuff? That's what I'm typing.

Ash: May I please see some Idetroitification?

Travis: Wait what? What do you mean?

Ash: Have you lived in da hood??

Travis: Oh yeah yeah I have actually like when i was 5 years old, then I moved to a different house in the suburbs.

Ash: Oh ok yeah you can type that

*pause*

Travis: Were you trying to provoke my rights of freedom of speech?

Detriotification

N. (DEE-troy-tif-a-KAY-shun):A degenerative process effecting many great American cities. Derived from the name of the first example of this degeneration, Detroit, which went from apopulation of over 1.6 million people in the 1960's to a population of 639,000 just 60 years later. Detroitification is a general process that can happen in any city where people get too comfortable and become a Democrat-only run city which leads to corruption and then an exodus of the productive class that ,in turn, leads to an even higher ratio of unproductive to productive citizens causing burden to pay for public services to fall on even less productive people until there is nothing left and reality sets in.

Modern examples of Detroitification are: San Fransisco, Seattle.

The Detriotification of San Francisco has been pretty entertaining.
