Houses are inexpensive in Detroit. Why wouldn't someone want to move there? The Federal Reserve thinks printing money to make houses affordable should work. If that's true, why are these houses still vacant?

I’d love to have a company that went in and salvaged building materials from houses like these....look at all the brick...

Conyers has a house in Detroit that would fit right in.

Being a native Detroiter, (Denby Class of 1967), I must shed a tear for my hometown. When I was growing up, Belle Isle was a jewel of the city. It had a beautful yacht club, small zoo, a botantical garden, a matitime museum, an model yacht pond, pony riding, and a casino building that had a cafeteria that served a wonderful Sunday brunch. I spent many memorable Sunday afternoons with my family picnicing and sailing my model boats in the pond.

THe city was destroyed by complete Democratic control and BLACK race baiters who kept saying that the white and middle class blacks who fled the crime and high taxes for a better life North of 8 mile Road were the cause for the city’s demise. The truth is the poor blacks voted in a bloc for criminals the likes of Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick (not an Irish drop of blood in him, by the way)

Snyder handed them a lifeline and they refused to take it. LET THE MF’s DROWN!

All that is a memory now.
