Good article in Forbes today about this very subject :

seeweed,

The problem with that argument is that Detroit's demise preceded 1970 as the graph shows population decline started two decades before 1970.  As I've shown in a number of cities, the common thread of a city's decline is Democrat rule over decades.  Not, its Nixon's fault.
