Detroit is the symbol of RAT policy.

Speaking of old and new. This guy offered to pay the million dollars back taxes on the old Packard plant but the law doesn’t allow him to do it without going through an auction process so he’ll probably get it for considerably less.

The architecture firm he’s hired believes that 80% of the property is structurally sound and the developer wants to get in on the retro trend for high dollar apartments, shops, office space and what he hopes will be the nation’s largest automotive museum. Really not a bad spot since its right across the highway from an existing Caddy plant with a lot of high paid executives who have expressed an interest.

I miss the J. L. Hudson Christmas Thanksging Parade, the Hudson Santa’s Toyland window displays...

I strongly disagree.

America is shrinking, and China is growing.

China is going to overtake America in a very few years, if it hasn’t already.

(suddenly, everyone is protecting themselves)

America is locked out of China. Not completely but we are. America has been manipulated into accepting unequal trade with China for far, far too long.

It is time to removed that.

It is time to truly compete. With China and with everyone

Now.

LEFTIST policies will not create a dynamic economy. If Obama has his way, all of America will look like Detroit.

Agenda 21 Detroit and dedicate the wild land to Black civil rights leaders and their white communist traitors who transformed it from a beautiful and wealthy city to a field of wild animals and weeds. Maybe they can spend their last million dollars on wild flower seeds...

Not gonna happen.

They’ll waste the money made from selling the art.

I have no idea what happens, I guess the city keeps losing population until it’s no longer very large.

Maybe at some point in the future some rich developer will buy it all up and rebuild it.
