"In due course when Detroit somehow makes a recovery the land will be worth something."

LOL, RAOTF! I have personal knowledge that this has been a popular, but totally failed, real estate strategy in Detroit since 1962. The key to economic success within the city limits of Detroit lies within the saying, "But for the absence of goats, Detroit is a third world city!" Some day, with all the vacant, trash strewn lots with tall grass, Detroit will be a economically viable environment for raising large numbers of goats.

So I gather you have in Detroit?

Fine. Works for me. Urban goat farms. Why not. Maybe organic goat cheese for the hippie a-holes in Ann Arbor? (Just don't let them know it came from brownfields!)

You are ahead of me. I'm just using common sense. Land is like Gold--sooner or later it will pay off even if it's your grandchildren who get to cash in!
