“There is opportunity in Detroit for conservatives and republicans with the stones to embrace it.
Well, the problem is; there are no Conservatives and Republicans in Detroit. Remember, this is where Romney received zero votes in some precincts, ZERO. The 700,000 or so people remaining in Detroit proper are either on some sort of government subsistence or are public employees dependent upon their unions for an ever larger piece of a dwindling pie. Soooo, who does that leave to execute a free enterprise, market based renaissance for Detroit? Answer; no one. As others have stated, Detroit has passed the point of no return and should be razed and returned to corn fields, produce ethanol or something. The few that want to actually work can find jobs in the razing, then afterwards in agriculture and such. The fresh air and physical labor would clear their minds and their diabetes. Win, win, win.....
I’m not in Detroit either but I don’t sit here and snipe at them.
Here in Michigan conservative tea partiers are actually working on solutions and presenting them to all parties in Detroit.
