Give Detroit to Mitt Romney

The reckoning has arrived in Detroit. Michigan has an aggressive emergency manager law that allows the government to take over failing cities rather than sending them into bankruptcy. [...]

[Mayor Dave] Bing wouldn’t directly reveal what the governor told him, but said the decision is what most have expected. He spoke in terms indicating that an emergency manager is indeed coming to Detroit.

Can I nominate someone?

Come on people! How many times do i have to inform you! Mitt could do the job from the WH! Since the people didn’t think so it’s tough titty to Detroit. Mitt shouldn’t waste his time. It’s not like he has to prove himself again.

Lease it to the ChiComs as a Special Administrative Region to pay down our debt. They would move in, repair what could be repaired and strip down and salvage what could not. They would stand the worst malcontents before firing squads and the rest of them would get the message.

Rather than getting checks from the U.S. government, they would get sweatshop factory jobs from the ChiComs.

Don't want a job? Well, that's your choice. But good luck making a living on the streets because your new ChiCom rulers won't let you leave your S.A.R. without permission.

People forget that Romney was elected to an office once.

Romney served a term as a governor once and failed to win chance for reelection, and had to leave office with 34% approval, he wasn’t exactly good at the job.

Toronto can’t be fixed either, it always has been and always will be a liberal hellhole.

I’m Canadian and your arrogant tagline offends me.

“Why save Detroit?
Is it worth it?”

It can’t be saved and it’s not worth trying.

All that can be done is to confine the pestilence within, to keep it from spreading to surrounding areas to the best extent possible.

You would probably find my tag line offensive too:

The way to revitalize Detroit is to remove all of the urban liberals and to put them into stable, white collar elite liberal communities

It's been tried, it didn't work, the prototype community is Ann Arbor....

NYC is reverting back to the cesspool it was before Giuliani cleaned it up. I commute into Penn Station every day. The main terminal where commuters and Amtrak tourists come in is a disgusting homeless shelter. The stench of homelessness is so bad. Nothing but dirty addicted bums shuffling around like the walking dead. Disgraceful.

They’ll figure a way to get that brand new casino.

The trend is not good, however Brooklyn is in a renaissance of sorts.
