Damned near every city in America.
Its not a surrender, its the right thing to do. People from both parties could learn a thing or two from Dave Bing.
The population in Detroit has been declining. The resulting vacant buildings are squatted in, vandalized and/or used as crack houses. That’s a nightmare for law enforcement. Tear down the buildings and those activities will no longer have homes.
Okay, it was my impression that they’d been doing that already.
This reminds me of the 1960’s Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced “snick”) motto, “Urban renewal means negro removal.”
It certainly feels like the sixties. I’m getting deja vu all over again.
“We had to destroy the village to save it.”
“President Obama, tear down this city!”
This is an incredibly good idea.
I was thinking SAC, or the Eight United States Army Air Force. Who's gonna play the role of the Trümmerfrauen?
There’s a website out there that shows photos of what’s happened to Detroit.
Its not a bad idea at all. And, it will allow the Dems to do what they’ve always (secretly) dreamed of: create large estates, give them to party leaders (with associated titles like Lord, Duke, etc), and allocate serfs to work the land. The way things are going, Detroit will soon look like Medieval France.
Edward L. McNeil, Special Assistant to Albert Garrett, President of Michigan Council 25 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), AFL-CIO, issued the following statement:
"Mayor Dave Bing gratuitously insulted City of Detroit workers and their Unions in his news conference of February 25, 2010," stated McNeil. "In a futile effort to disparage our stance at the bargaining table, he has asserted that we can't read, add, or comprehend. That is an outright lie on the Mayor's part. Any rational person recognizes that it is possible for people who can read, add, and comprehend to disagree with Dave Bing . . . rant continued here
We wouldn't even have to pay 'em(!)
The 40-year result of LBJ’s “Great Society”.
i have been saying this for years....there are sections of detroit where only 1 or 2 houses stand where a neighborhood used to be....i would have prisoners renovate houses in the “good” area’s, and relocate these residents to the renovated house free of charge. I would then not charge them taxes of the house as long as they live as an incentive to move. Bulldoze the area, disconnect all services, tear up the streets, and rent the area out to local farmers.....
“In a clear admission fifty years of Democrat rule had ruined the once great city,”
....I’d say it was in the 70s when black Democrats legally siezed power that the downhill slide began...same things started happening in urban areas across the country...once great cities have gone bad.
...I have no confidence in black Democrat governance, but if Bing can pull this off, I’ll tip my hat to him.
Dave Bing isn’t pretending to govern in Detroit, he’s making hard but good decisions.
Just cause he has a D behind his name doesn’t mean he’s only in it for himself. He loves the City of Detroit. Give him a chance.
i've seen several videos of abandoned detroit, just like Living in a Gangster Paradise...Sounds like a perfect spot for a new theme park- “Liberal Land”
Imagine the attractions:
A new roller coaster called “the obamaconomy” - it’s a thrill and all downhill
Labor Union Land- where you wait for hours to get in while one hard hat holds a flag, another holds a radio, and two dozen more stand just inside leaning on shovels and talking
Healthcare Land- spin the wheel and see if yo get a life saving operation or a pain pill- only people ages between 14 and 50 can play
