The last thing any distressed place needs is for economically savvy white people to move in.
The best thing poor detroit people can do is to buy a house, fix it up, and sell it to white people. Then move down a block, by another cheap house, fix it up, and sell it to another white person. After a while, take the profits and run.
It doesn't take genious level intelligence to fix up a house, just some tools and basic knowledge. Both of those can be pooled by the people already there. Team up, buy some tools, get to work.
Now that I figured out how to comment, I want to play with them a bit.
