I've been thinking about Detroit. Lots of cheap real estate, it seems. I also like cities that are on navigable water. I'd just be afraid of being the only one to do it. (Winter would be rough, too, but maybe that could work to our advantage by freezing the hippies/bums out.) On the count of 3, everybody move to Detroit and register to vote! 1, 2,...

Seriously, conservatives need to find a way to thrive in the cities. We may have to establish our own neighborhoods in every metropolitan area.

There are big changes going on in Detroit. Downtown is booming mostly due to big money like Dan Gilbert and Quicken and the hipsters who have a libertarian bent. Lots of construction going on after the creditors got prime real estate as part of their bankruptcy settlement.

A while back I watched a Detroit chamber of commerce conference online and a lot of the outside business interests were talking about the rising cost of doing business elsewhere VS Detroit. They’re also concerned that many other cities are heading down the same path that got Detroit to where it is. They seemed to think that Detroit will be in much better shape in the future than many other cities.

The closer to downtown the better it is.
