What FReepers desperately choose to ignore is this.



Despite all its problems Detroit is still a major port city and the second busiest freight crossing on the continent. That simply isn't going to change unless Canada decides to blow trillions uprooting their industrialized region and moving it somewhere else. In fact, its so important to Canada that they're paying for a new bridge to ease the trade bottleneck.

The Chinese aren't stupid, they know exactly what they're doing. I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese developers weren't encouraging the buys as a means of trying properties up without having to pay for them and they'll get them later.

As far as the willfully ignorant. Its a waste of time trying to convince them to see facts. (Kinda like global warming alarmists)

Not I CC...

I have had the privilege of going to summer homes on the lakes owned ( by now deceased ) Big 3 suppliers many who made it in Detroit and left for the burbs. Hard working Poles, Italians etc etc that made stuff, they got their start their and I maybe nuts but it could happen again.

Ya never know the door handle king, or engine bracket mogul could happen again, but maybe with a different industry, that one is to mature at this point.

China owns the ports on America’sEast and West Coast. Now they’re going for the inland ports.
