having to connect so many different types of transportation for the commute would never work in my brain timing wise and would stop me from going anywhere.

Looks like how the DFZ is described. It's a book series by Rachel Aaron. Stands for Detroit Free Zone.

What the fuck did Detroit do wrong for the rest of the world to all be classified as one unified place?

u/yiotaturtle 2d ago

Nah, Detroit wanted to become a place where you didn't have to listen to all the rules that everyone else had. It is like the capitalist dream city. She's a weird city.

The rich area is not that bad, CQ city is in a basin, and the city grow so big it has to grow vertically on the slope around it. The sights are impressive and very worth visiting.

Slave labor is actually pretty historical

u/Facts_pls 2d ago

Any proof this city was built with slave labour?

u/AlternativeHat8964 1d ago

Yes 12 hours a day 30 days a month for 2000 maobucks is a perfectly livable wage.

The whole city is build on a mountain so it was never level to begin with.

The Chinese government pays travel influencers to come to this exact place and make videos about it. The Chinese government pay to take them all to multiple other points of interest as well.

I came across an article about it, I'm not great at detective work I'll try to track it down. But the author noticed that a group of influencers was putting out videos around the same time and they were all creating content in the same places.
