“Put a plaque somewhere in it to memorialize what happens when the takers drive out the makers”
Well that would sure show the rest of the country Conservatives are brimming with ideas...;)
Detroit still has potential and if Conservatives cannot see that and cannot offer solutions to harness that potential then I guess modern Conservatism is just as much of a failure as liberalism....
OK, I’m not laughing.
However, sitting at your keyboard and proclaiming that Conservatives/Somebody is supposed to leap to the fray with “solutions to harness that potential” doesn’t really impress me any more than the recommended ROFLMAO.
You DO have some ideas on at least an approach to this????
(BTW, I’m an engineer by trade, with “experiences” on a much smaller scale of this sort of thing. I’d sure like to hear where we went wrong.)
That would be dependent upon having a population that desires to fix the problems and actually work to improve their community - something Detroit has been sorely lacking for decades. Ideologically, I agree with your premise - realistically, I see no possible way that the remaining denizens of that hellhole would be willing to do what it would take to revitalize that community and make it a productive environment, welcoming of innovation, capital and financial freedom.
