That's not true. The people having "kissy fits" are the lifetime residents of the neighborhoods that deterioriated around them and which they had nothing to do with.
Elderly people who grew up in their neighborhoods, worked until retirement and took care of their own. People trying to survive in their homes who are law abiding but don't have the finances to sell their now worthless home and move out.
The very same people who were likely responsible for setting fire to the abandoned houses in their neighborhoods that were taken over by druggies and prostitutes. The same houses reported to the city as such but the city did nothing.......
Their houses aren't condemned.......
Remember when they said Michigan would never ever be a right to work state?
Michigan conservatives are a lot tougher than we’re given credit for.
...”The same houses reported to the city as such but the city did nothing”....
The city can’t afford fire departments or police...let alone have funding for delapitaed housing.
There’s a reason people keep moving out...crime, major drug issues...and a mentality that says your house is our house. ...you leve we’ll squat there.
The fact those people knew long ago the city was falling apart....before they became elderly....this has been going on in Detroit for decades, why didn’t they leave and sell their house sooner?.... Did they think someone was going to “rescue them”. Of course they did...it’s been a Democratic City for decades and they’re used to having handouts...well that’s gone now...there’s nothing left.
The people were given time to make other arrangements.....and rather than take care of business they spent valuable time fighting the city.
