Wow! What a story! Thanks for sharing! Gary, Indiana sounds like a mushroom city. As fast as the small city appeared on the map as a prosperous place to work/live, it also declined very quickly and fell off the map as a prosperous place to be in. I honestly think the state of Indiana, U.S federal government, and U.S Steel could've saved Gary from blight... Putting up high tariffs on steel imports, improving public education, building a community college to train a new generation of workers, and maintaining their public transit/infrastructure systems (streetcars) would've been much better than simply letting this once financially productive city rot away.

@spacetoast7783 It's about serving the well being of the general public and cutting back on profit margins of big business executives. Read my previous comment before making a fool of yourself with a repetitive response.

@spacetoast7783 The answer your looking for is already out there! Human beings have been building cities for thousands of years! Canada/USA is simply making the exact same mistakes again because most have failed to learn. Strong Towns Recommendations: - A Bottom Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity by Charles L.
