Ah, the effects of unbridled welfare.
I wonder if big cities will learn their lesson. Doubtful.

Most big cities are in worse shape than Detroit but haven’t been cut off yet.

It is being sold (at least some of it) to the Chinese.

GOP state governance is what is attracting big players like JP Morgan to Detroit. It helps but what really grows an economy is the small businesses.
There are a lot of other things going on in Detroit that these writers never mention or apparently even know about like the state effectively taking control of Detroit elections.

Turn it into a tax-free and regulation-free zone and watch what happens. Make it the “Hong-Kong” of the US (though HK is not actually tax or reg free).

Unfortunately, the buyer would still be left with the demographics that come with Detroit.

RE: Maybe Canada wants it back?
This is new to me... when did they have it?
To: SeekAndFind
The thing that bums me out is that there is a lot of big money going into rebuilding Detroit, but the average person can’t really buy anything there.
They are selling it, but only to big companies.

A preview of Chicago’s future. Keep at it libs. We’ll all live in Zimbabwelike conditions before you can say,” Obamacare”.

A whole lot of truth behind your post!
As long as it is Politically Incorrect to speak such truth nobody can begin to work on a solution.

It seems the choice is to let it be run by insufferable communist out to seize control at any cost or sell it to the Chinese!!!

I've been saying that for awhile --
make everybody move away: 100%.
Bulldoze everything: 100%
Sell the land: no crime, no poor people, no unions, no zoning, no stagnant city government. Start fresh. No baggage.
