One note here before everyone jumps on the topic. Detroit has 142 sq miles (Buffalo, NY for example has 52, Orlando has 110, Cleveland has 82). The plain truth is that city planners never had a grasp of the size or complex cost situation with a city this size. Tearing down houses and neighborhoods....might not be a bad idea. Course, no one is going to volunteer to shrink the city neighborhoods...that’s the negative of this story.

And I will admit....a $100 million tossed at tearing down houses in Detroit will simply be misused, with barely a hundred houses torn down for that amount of money.

Obamatollah should pretend the abandoned buildings are the Benghazi consulate and burn them down.

We all watched in wonder these past few years as congress sat back and accepted Obama’s usurpations. All legislative powers are fast swirling into the executive. Throw in a frightened and compliant scotus, and there can be little doubt that Madison's classic depiction of tyranny is at hand.

I don't know what the Black Swan event will be, where Obama and his rats finally outrage the average American to action, but when it comes, what action will citizens take?

Congress will do nothing. Obama runs the senate.

There is little time to save ourselves, and our salvation will not be found in Washington, DC.

Other Detroit News......

The Mayor wants to go Defined Contribution ( 401k ) and Freeze the General Pension, as well as more info on the mismanagement of the Pension(s).

It maybe too little to late for many nay-Sayers here, but a forensic type investigation into how it was run was done as it needed to be to form a baseline out of the dysfunctionality.

Translation: Liberal cities that spend too much will use conservatives money to pay the bills.
