And the Chinese and Muzzies are by buying them up. Michigan makes a great vpcenter for terrorists because of easy access / escape to Canada

Urban liberal hipsters will move back in, fix up the city, raise the property values, then start voting for the same liberal power structures that destroyed the city. The cycle will continue.

signs of recovery?

The windows have all been broken already, so no more will break.... the roads are 100% pothole now, so it’s almost evened out....

“In the little more than a year since the state-appointed emergency manager, Kevyn Orr”

The key to the whole thing. It is obvious the citizens of Detroit would keep on voting the place into oblivion.

Actually the Muslim population is shrinking in comparison to middle eastern Christians in the Detroit are.

Muslims these days are largely settling in the south.

Take some money away from funding overly-bloated union pension funds, and you can actually afford to provide some public services. Whoda thunkit?

Is that required?

Do I need to visit Russia, Ukraine and the UK to comment on those threads too?

And leftists say we need a vagina to have an opinion on abortion, should we take those things seriously?

Right. I guess the protest in Detroit last weekend to demand that water be provided to residents for FREE is a sign that things are getting better.

I've often said that we should negotiate with the Chi-Coms to write off debt in return for leasing Detroit as a special administrative region like Hong Kong. It will be unable to vote in either Michigan or U.S. elections for the duration of the lease.

If every other municipality in America faced a similar fate, they might be more careful about repeatedly electing crooks and grifters to public office.

You from Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas. Saw it in the movies. In any case, I simply was wondering whether I could count on you for Detroit traffic reports.

I guess the turning off of the delinquent water accounts was the sign of things getting better.

Most of those morons weren’t even from Detroit and don’t have a clue as to what is going on there.

If I’m not mistaken, the state of Michigan took control of the city... would these “signs of recovery” be anything more than just the results of state dollars being poured in for those new streetlights?

Depends on which movie.

An Officer and a Gentleman - Oklahoma
