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.

After the Detroitification of my hometown, Bosnia looks appealing in comparison.

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.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
