I would get rid of Detroit, Michigan. Detroit is an economically struggling city with a 40% poverty rate and a violent crime rate nearly three times the national average. In 1960, Detroit was one of the richest cities in the nation, but decades of population loss and decay have created a situation where almost half of all buildings are either vacant or in a state of disrepair. Additionally, Detroit's population is only projected to shrink over the next several years, making it an unlikely candidate to stage a comeback.
