We hear the jokes, yes, but
Cleveland:
-Has a metro
-Has a good BRT system
-Has a great history of manufacturing and industry
-Never fully got rid of their streetcars and converted the last two lines to light rail
-Has what looks to be pretty affordable housing
-Has this dope-ass arcade and many other cool architectural featuresCleveland was once a very large industrial powerhouse, and capitalist disinvestment in the city has devastated some parts of it to a huge degree. That cannot be overlooked. But the city has now become a smaller city with big-city features and history. Big shoutout to Cleveland!

All good points but you forgot the only negative that matters
Lake Erie, get annexed by Michigan.
I'm still down for separate statehood.
The actual reconfiguration is for all Great Lakes states to form a new independent nation.
Dope. Let's do it. lol
