Destroy it, and they will leave...
I heard that you can buy a home for 20 bucks. Can you imagine if someone had the money, they could go in there and buy up all the land and revamp Detroit. I think it could be done because hopefully the 25 percent who left Detroit are the worst of the worst and the ones left are the good folks.....wishful thinking I know.
You think having a string of union-controlled democrat mayors and city councils since the 1950’s might have something to do with this?
Nah.....
My hometown, Rochester, NY has lost 100,000 households in 50 years...and it is a rotten, infested city with no real future.
Holy crap, we’ve lost Grand Rapids.
Actually after much thought I’ve decided that if I had the power to vaporize Detroit or Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo, I would spare Detroit. Detroit may be a parasite but its an indifferent parasite. Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo are demanding, angry, self righteous parasites.
The whole situation reminds me of a third world country where we are on the border taking refugees. It's so stinking sad.
"This is the motor city and this is what we do"...really? You suck toe smegma.
It is still not enough. Too many are still suffering stuck in a 3rd World there.
I like a new Chrysler commercial claiming it is ‘exported’ from Detroit. LOL. Do you think since they are ‘exporting’ to America, people from there are immigrants who needs treatment like they are from Somalia or something?
Heard this morning that their population is back where it was around 1910; set back 100 years.
Congratulations democrats. Too bad that the idiots who achieved this great socialist victory are still running things there. We can all hope that they flock to Detroit and leave the rest of the country alone.
There is a line in the GM commercial that says “Imported from Detroit”. That immediately struck me as being the same as imported from a 3rd world craphole, which Detroit is.
FUBO & FAD
I like the part where the mayor wants a recount so he can get more taxpater bucks from the state and federal governments. Send the census workers down to the graveyard - they’re voting there already.
Modown.
speaking of Eminiem, the next time 8 Mile turns up on cable, sit down and watch just 10 minutes of it and then ask yourself, “Why would anybody stay there?”
Flee?
Twenty-five percent? Is that all?!
Buy...but aren’t the GM bailout bucks going to fix that? s/
Detroit should be held high up on a pedestal as a prime example of what results from infestation of the welfare class.
Let’s put up a couple of nuke plants in Mo-town. You won’t get any valid NIMBY arguments.
Cleveland, Ohio is suffering a similar fate. The 2010 census puts Cleveland under 400,000, down 17% from the 2000 census. Not so good for a city that had 914,000 residents in 1950.
And they’re not all fleeing to the suburbs either - that bus has left the station as well. The metropolitan area population decreased as well to around 2,882,000, from its high in 1970 of 3,098,000.
The cause for Cleveland’s decline is obvious to those living there - excessive liberalism, graft, and corruption in the city’s government as well as those of some of the surrounding suburbs and the county itself have chased away the earners, leaving a progressively increasing core of freeloaders.
I guess that’s what Eminem meant by Lose Yourself.
Detroit is the perfect example of Leftist urban renewal! Let the utopia begin!
