*Can’t we just give Detroit to Canada?*
I wonder how much we’d have to pay them to take it?

The ghost of Chief Pontiac has finally driven the Yengeese from Ft Detroit after 245 years!
Was it worth it?
Chanel.
I wonder how the Detroit Lions would do in the CFL?
Well Psalm, I’m a former Michigan Freeper. Lost job, moved form one Socialist utopia to another (Maryland)
The city of Detroit is surrounded by Metro Detroit suburbs. Most of the immediate surrounding suburbs are older communities and are a few decades behind Detroit for not being very good places to live. TH enext ring can go either way. South of the city is old fashioned Blue Collar. North and west is for the most part very nice. Some extremely affluent.
The next ring contains two cities in the top ten safest list.
This plan is actually pretty sane. I used to do repair work on welfare houses in Detroit, 15 years ago and I said then that total destruction is really the only solution. Mayor Bing is a businessman who is not tied to political interests and seems to be making the tough decisions. While he will never bring Detroit back, I think stuff like this will at least make it habitable.
Is that similar to setting fire to a bag of dog crap and ringing Canada's door bell?
