Last One Out, Turn Off the Lights

Check out this little factoid via Megan McArdle of The Atlantic. Driving one million people (of 1.85 million total)out of your city in just 50 years is amazing. I don't think even the Black Plague had that kind of kill rate.

With the economic powerhouses of Detroit and the State of Michigan (it's the one that sort of looks like a mitten) absolutely lighting up the world, I'm surprised that Michiganders Gov. Granholm (D-MI) and Mayor Kilpatrick (D-MI, and likely to soon be a convicted felon) aren't headlining at the Democratic National Convention.
