The “free stuff” spigot needs to be turned off - but very slowly, over years, maybe decades.

In a sense that's exactly what's happening in Detroit right now. While FReepers have no interest in doing anything, the MI GOP is doing what needs to be done. Unfortunately without reasonable conservative input it will be typical GOPe fixes rather than free market conservative fixes that create and encourage conservatism.

Your posts are very interesting to me - don’t let our negativity get you down. I happen to love cities and city life and it would be amazing if Detroit could come back - no matter how long it took.
