This was inevitable.  Can't keep the lights on if no one is paying the electric bill. They need to shrink the city.

The population is spread out over the city and this affects the distribution of services and schools.  Centralize the population and you cut costs by streamlining services and closing schools if necessary.  Sell off the freed up property.

Yes, that makes total sense.

You might have to pay relocations expenses as well as offering higher than market value for houses but its likely that the money spent would be recouped after selling off the land for development.

78,000 homes vacant in detroit so why dont poor people move there?
« Reply #14 on: July 18, 2013, 04:37:37 PM »
i dont get it. its a great time to be poor and lazy as fuck without a job because theres always somewhere to live for fucking dirt cheap

i bet its a nice breezy summer up there too, they could trash the place towards the end of summer/fall move down south again when it gets too cold up there to pay a heating bill.

but seriously thats alot of vacancies. those houses are probably fucking huge too fitting atleast 4 to a house

this is a beautiful time for investors in realestate. just fence line off all the property you own with 10 foot tall spiked tipped fences

He's right. It's a plan that has been talked about quite a bit in Detroit for the past couple of years... It is that desperate of a situation. Many entire neighborhoods are vacant, boarded up and burned out houses and buildings.

There are no tax payers left in the city. Anyone who did work or owned property fled the city in the past decade. The city failed to provide basic services. The only tax payers left are retirees from the auto companies. For years the city lied on their census because any city with a population over one million gets huge tax benefits and a federal grant. When it was finally investigated they found the figure to be less then 800,000....They were actually using the names of dead people to boost their numbers.

All of the elected offcicals are corrupt. The previous Mayor and all of the city council were among the highest paid in the country. All had their own cadre of bodyguards. Many had family, friends and babies mamas on the city payroll. While the city fell further and further into debt they spent money like it was going out of style.  Everytime election year rolled around the always sang the same old bullshit tune about "the community" and "keeping it in the city"...a bunch of bullshit, black,libtard rhetoric and the voters were always shamed into voting the same assholes in year after year even when it was apparent they were robbing the city blind.

I totally agree, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. It's a great plan.

Very true, beaks.  You and I could go on and on about Detroit and its problems, the corruption is that bad. They've elected corrupt mayor after corrupt mayor who end up cheating and fleecing the city.  You'd think after Coleman Young Detroit would have learned its lesson but they didnt and elected the equally as criminal Kilpatrick. Your absolutely correct about the tax payers.  It's such a mess that something drastic need to be done.
