Real "Thinking outside the Box!!!!

The new mayor of Detroit (replacing the one that went to jail) has proposed a plan, unheard of heretofore. His plan, yet to be approved, is to totally shut down the abandoned parts of the city, move their few remaining citizens to 'stronger' neighborhoods, and plow under the dead zones and turn them back into farms and fields.

Sounds mindboggling........ til you think about it. If they can do it fairly and honestly, using eminent domain in a fair and just way.... it could be a real answer for a city whose population has dropped from two million to one million in the last twenty years.

I hope he's real, I hope the plan works, I hope that folks living in the one or two house on a blighted block get to exchange their house for one of similar value in a 'stronger' neighborhood.

Color me as the cockeyed optimist.!
