Sell it all. No one here wanted to go under but everyone's being stubborn and unrealistic about sacrificing. :smh:

How much were they offering for the sale of Belle Isle again before they voted against it? :patrice:

It wasn't even a sale, neither. The offer was $700 mil just to lease it for ten years :aicmon:

The city counsel is some bullshyt, especially that fakkit Pugh :ufdup:

1. Its not

2. nikkas gotta make better moves. :obama:

I'm sorry. I understand the "history" of Detroit...but that doesn't mean we need to keep investing in something that doesn't want to help itself.

No one wants to live there. There are no jobs there. Theres nothing naturally desirable about that place.

At some point, people gotta be real with themselves.

Detroit ain't the move... Theres always Chicago.... :lolbron:
You're confused. Also, Detroit will bounce back as a better city in less than 7 years. People are currently flooding into the city..

We made some horrible business deals as a city.. I don't think there has been worse deals in the history of America since Louisiana Purchase.

Anyway, that lady is the new city counsel leader. The one who isn't ignorant as fukk... which is rare for Detroit.

"that fakkit" is no longer involved in politics ever since the thing w the lil boy happened.

I forgot he was gay :dwillhuh:

Still tho :aicmon:

The new lady at the head, and some of them stepping down is a good thing. The council was a joke.

The people that can help and can make a difference don't
have the resources to change the culture of the city, as a whole.

I honestly don't think it is all bad to write off the whole city
as a lost cause. Just get rid of those corrupt higher-ups, do away with
those burned up vacant homes, turn some parts into agriculture
and stop depending on the automotive industries, then maybe they
can restore itself as a city.

My problem with Detroit is they keep putting their hopes and dreams into
these drug-dealers, gangsters and auto industries. And they all either die,
get locked up or move away. Everyone keeps following the same corrupted
programming. It's like the one rotten apple that keeps spoiling the bunch:to:

blah blah blah.

I hear a bunch of complaints. Not solutions.

Detroit been hurting for damn near 20 years now.

Cut it loose.:umad:
