Yup, could be a gold mine for foreign investors like they are doing in Detroit and Chicago. Saw a satellite photo of a blighted part of Detroit today. I didn't realize it was that bad - looked like a tornado hit it.

My question is: When those investors bring in big money to gentrify the blight, at what point do the race-baiters start to whine? My guess is a few large middle-class housing projects and a modern mall until Sharpton and Jackson notice that blacks can't afford their former self-made ghettoes on their welfare checks. I can see the marches/protests as I write this. Got long-term stock in popcorn?

gen·tri·fy; verb 1. renovate and improve (especially a house or district) so that it conforms to middle-class taste.

gen·tri·fy; verb 1. to change (a place, such as an old neighborhood) by improving it and making it more appealing to people who have money
