Since the gov’t’s trying to blow money (insert Soros joke here) anyway, IMV, the feds should buy up everything for sale in Detroit, recruit labor to repair and enhance all of them, and give them to soldiers returning from combat service overseas, requiring that they live in them for three years or thereabouts. Guess I’m gonna be tarred a socialist. But I’m also thinking that, having perhaps tens of thousands of combat veterans and their families living in Detroit will have a positive long-term impact on, oh, the Detroit city council, the state house in Lansing, the gov’s mansion, and Michigan’s Senators in D.C. Thanks grellis.
Actually, that’s a good idea—which is why it would never, ever be considered.
