A meme poses that question – pointing out that Hiroshima was literally nuked as Detroit approached its peak. By 1960, Detroit would have the highest per-capita income in the country, before everything came crashing down. No one predicting the trajectories of both cities’ futures in 1945 would picture Detroit as the wasteland it is today, and Hiroshima the flourishing city it is today.
