Detroit

Yeah, I don't know what the solution is.

Maybe the feds should buy the whole goddamned thing and use the city as a military training facility. Most of our future wars are going to be fought in that kind of hellscape anyway. Take the money used to buy it and spend it on bus tickets and food stamps for anybody left. If you can prove you own property there and are still living there, maybe you get a little extra. lol

I don't why I would want the Feds to buy it. If I wanted a piece of it, I would go get it, I am sure you could too. The place needs to be used as a reminder to voters all over the country to cast their votes a tad more wisely.

I believe that I read in an ealier post that less than half of the population can even read. No matter where they end up, they are going to be reliant upon the government. Odds are that many of the 33 plus thousand people are not model citizens...who will want them in their community? If relocated, are they going to be the cause of further flight?

Ha! I am already pretty darn ready to take off.

And what should scare people about Detroit, is that it's the model we're following in the United States as a whole. A privileged few feasting off the labor of the common person, all in the name of helping those very people from whom they're leeching.

This isn't Democrat/Republican. This is ruling class/underclass.

Go start a drum circle. I hear Occupy Wall Street needs another one.

Maybe the government goes old school and brings back the old land-grant system, turns the whole central city into rehabilitated farm-land, and retrains these people how to grow food. I'm half joking ... but just half.

I read that there is community farms and markets popping up in abandoned lots. Sounds like the work of hipsters if you ask me.
