Something that stood out to me in How to Kill a City is that it\u2019s essentially manslaughter, in a few cases. Moskowitz spoke briefly about how Europeans from the queer community tend to flee their residing cities for a place that’s more likely accepting of things considered taboo, moderately safe to inhabit, and not very expensive to relocate to. While these groups of people have found their havens where they can celebrate their uniqueness in a unique place, it seems that other people with a nearly ridiculous amount of capital and knowledge of these relocations follow behind the marginalized group of queer individuals for the prospect of low rents, opportunity to squash what goes against status-quo, and change crime rates (for better or worse).

Reading this book has made me look at new businesses more closely, especially ones that have \u201cDetroit\u201d in their name. I wonder, \u201cAre they a black-owned business?\u201d and, \u201cHow do they give back to the community?\u201d before I patronize overpriced products. Admittedly, it does put me on edge thinking about the future of Detroit. I am excited to see well-known names like Google, Amazon and Little Caesar\u2019s arena. Yet, the description the book provides of cities looking more and more alike and losing their individuality gives way to the worry that eventually the world will advance only to plateau to a chrome uniformity. Needless to mention the precarious consequences emigration, power shifts and chaos that will grow if this process continues is enough to make anyone worry.
