I was raised in the US, and it’s interesting to look at those cities through the lens of foreclosure markets. You can see that time has not treated the real estate values of the different cities the same way, as some aren’t doing that badly and others are a catastrophe. The interesting thing is that I don’t know anyone could have predicted how these cities’ fortunes would evolve. Makes you wonder about where you currently live!
