Things have a long way to go but things are changing in Detroit and other cities would be well advised to keep an eye on what is happening there.

Things like allowing private companies to compete with public services. When it comes to direct personal freedoms I doubt you could find a freer big city in the country. There is now a pro gun police chief who is doing the heavy lifting and there has been a significant drop in the violent crime rate.

There is a lot of Canadian investment going on in Detroit and big financial players are transferring a lot of people to Detroit from NY.

Yes, I'm impressed with the new Chief of Police. And, the investing taking place.

A buddy and I had "big plans", years ago, to go buy a bunch of houses that were selling for $1 in Detroit. We were dreaming of being a two-person revitalization team.

I read that the owner of the Ambassador Bridge is doing an effective job of tying up the land purchase for the new bridge to Windsor. True?

I understand China is also buying into Detroit. (Re; FOX Business News)
