Well, no, I meant importance importance, like, if you removed a city from the earth all of a sudden, how much would the world change? So you're definitely right it's subjective, but Detroit was pretty damn relevant both industrially (cars) and culturally (Motown), even if it wasn't ever particularly large. I even feel…

Definitely subjective, but in 1955, according to Wikipedia, the only companies in the world employing more people than General Motors were Soviet state industries. The automobile industry definitely gave Detroit an importance beyond its population for a few decades in the middle of the last century.

Most of what you described is literally exactly what I mean by parts of the city falling off the edge. Parts of what was the city will not be the city in the future, and the loss of city services and road access is how that happens.

The city's shrinking. 50 years ago it was one of, what, the 20 most important cities in the world? 10? It's not that anymore. It's not ever going to be that again. So, amazingly, when people leave, parts of the city fall off the edge. Once it's down to a moderate size, it'll hover at the bottom for a bit, then start…

The next episode would be a hell of a lot more interesting if Skylar hauled Parrish's unconscious body into Rosen's office than if she didn't.

No, of course it doesn't meant that, or they'd say that. But it indicates that they're at least considering, probably very strongly, ordering more episodes.

It could be Lissa if they want to retcon her to be smarter than she is now, and then let her be a less gimicky character. It could be Sadie if they want to move her out of the villain role, like Cordelia. It could be Matty if the writers are still pushing them as the "meant-to-be" pair. It could be Clark if they want…

The basements and attics of school buildings don't usually have much furniture you'd want in them, but you can find 20-year-old newspapers on the ground, or enrollment slips from 1897 in nondescript file cabinets.

Why would life only have meaning if you're going to die? He could spend thousands of years helping people. He could volunteer to go on a 500-year space journey. He could make friends and have families and impact people that way. Unless you're jumping on a grenade, dying isn't how people make a positive impact on the…

Scandal definitely qualifies, and I missed it. Though it did still use a white person as the audience surrogate, but she was rapidly marginalized. I don't watch either of those USA shows, but it sounds like you took one out yourself.
