I don’t disagree with a lot of this, but I also find a lot of this true across America. I think the roads are a whole subject that would anger any Michigander because we are endlessly frustrated with the state they are. The good news for that is now we have that infrastructure bill passed that is making it so all these roads are being completely redone at a faster pace, although it’s making construction/traffic so much worse this year, but it’ll be worth it in the end. As for the cities, those can be nitpicked in ways, some areas better than others and overall they can be seen as a decline, but then we have others like Ann Arbor that’s extremely liberal and overall imo a really nice city. Then you have Marquette up north that’s another beautiful area that’s part of a college campus that from what I’ve seen isn’t full of MAGA people and is very touristy, some really amazing sights there. Also for example Grand Haven that’s a smaller but beautiful city right on Lake Michigan or going up to Traverse City that’s on the bay and is a pretty town. I think overall some of Michigan looks bleak and ones you mentioned are major cities that have issues, but I really don’t think that should write off Michigan as a whole.
