Probably a little bit of everything, but losing a lot of your tax base, people moving out of the city, doesn't help any. Back in the mid to late 90s Atlanta had the same problem of a shrinking tax base, the people who stayed in the city in the upscale neighborhoods saw property taxes raise to try and get the city out of the red. I think Detroit is way past that though.
