Thow some money at it. Raise taxes around the state to fund some green jobs using Detroit brown fields. Then shutter the businesses with the green jobs once the money is gone. Ban the sale of any car not made by General Motors or Chrysler.

There! Problem solved.

I still have a hard time grasping that these people reelected Granholm. But I also still have a hard time grasping that we elected obama.

In this era of declining housing values, this population decrease must be an added [declining] boost.

It would be interesting to see which cities are now larger than Detroit (e.g., a little above 714,000 in population).

“”the Detroit pattern”— increasing taxes, harassing businesses, and pandering to unions. In the short run, it got mayors re-elected. In the long-run, it reduced Detroit from a thriving city to an economic disaster area, whose population was cut in half, as its most productive citizens fled.”” THOS. SOWELL..

That’s the good news. The bad news is they’re coming to your town.

Due to the fact that no one is left to use many of the parks anymore, last year Detroit floated an idea to sell parks off to raise revenue.

I offered them $18,000 for Comerica Park, but never heard back from the lying jerks.

Some areas of Detroit have become some of the best places to deer hunt in MI.

You wouldnt believe it unless you saw it for yourselves.

It would appear very difficult to keep districts 13 (Clarke) and 14 (Conyers) majority minority.
