Maybe they should take the city down to the guy on “Extreme Pawn” and pawn it.

Check the demographics...race and religion. Nuff said

This is what I’ve been saying!
Detroit simply cannot exist as it is and pampering the place because it used to be an important city is just dissolving into farce. So what if it wont be the largest city in Michigan anymore. Some loss of pride is far better than loss altogether.
Divide it up and give the parts a chance to survive.

Detroit used to be the second largest city in the Midwest. Now that's Indianapolis!
The mighty have fallen

"...the city will suffer and the vultures will come in and take the jewels of Detroit and they will be gone."OK -- so let's just build a wall around Detroit. Topped by electrified razor wire. Then all Detroit's jewels will be "safe".

So the voters of Detroit can start to plunder Wayne County as well?

State Senator Rick Jones may be on to something. A few years back, I read that Memphis dissolved their their charter. I think it had to do with debts run up before, during and after the unCivil War. I don’t remember to much about it, but it came to mind reading this.

But, but Government Motors was saved from extinction in Detroit - - - ?
Didn’t the $40,000 loss per manufactured Chevy Volt make any difference?
Surely the Government Regulators will regulate against Detroit being in debt to deep to fail?
Rumor has it that right after Obama’s Hawaiian Golf Vacation he will come to Detroit and give a speech, or something like it. It all depends on the Detroit temperature tolerance of Obama’s teleprompter.

Tje state people would merely be rearranging Detroit’s face and calling it by another name. The same type of people would still be in charge.

I think Detroit is doing a good job of dissolving on its own.

if they are going to dissolve it, they ought to use a powerful enough acid to make sure it does not come back. I was there just a couple of months ago and a couple of weeks back as well. It has turned into a sewer. You do not want to take a wrong turn. Sickening.

Dissolve it? Having visited Detroit...recently...I'd say that about 75 kilotons would be a good start.
