Last month, a Chinese development firm paid millions for two downtown buildings, including one that’s been empty for years. And the Cass Corridor, one of the poorest areas in this broke city, is attracting a slew of buyers looking to invest near the $650 million planned entertainment district and hockey arena.who is buying?
Mostly white. I think the first focus is to get downtown back up and running.yea I saw that, but the chinese have been buying U.S land for quite some time. The media just doesnt cover it for obv reasons. AMC is now chinese owned, they talk about that shyt with pride out here.
I mean as far as the private property, is it everyone? black? white? mixture? what are they projecting for the city?
so why are they deciding to do this now, and not say 3 years ago?Mostly white. I think the first focus is to get downtown back up and running.
It won't be like DC either...at least for quite some time. I just moved back from DC earlier this year. The thing that made DC's model work is that most white folks come into the city for work so it made more sense for them to live in the city. And they torn down all the projects and built townhouses and condos...they first have to create jobs within Detroit for the suburbanites to come back.Please.Ya'll had your chance, and you screwed it up. It won't be NYC, nothing in the midwest will be, but will become like DC, and that means a dropping black population. nikkas have left LA for god's sake.
Good Point... JOBS JOBS JOBS, should be the number 1 priority. And they have to be white collar. Detroit might not by NY or Chicago or LA but it can compete with Philadelphia, Dallas, etcIt won't be like DC either...at least for quite some time. I just moved back from DC earlier this year.

Well downtown is already the safest part of the detroit. Dennis Archer ( @Blackking can speak on this) got everything running and the 2004 Super Bowl as well. They Kwame Came and messed up everything, that's why this didn't happen 3 years ago.so why are they deciding to do this now, and not say 3 years ago?
and why didn't black investors do this decades ago?
and why is the Gilbert supporting this man, but not the last clown?
wtf is wrong with these people.
unfortunately its like this in every major city.The funny thing is I was gonna give Cockrel the pass, but I heard he was doing some low down shyt with churches.
Thing with this community is, we need to stop giving UNCONDITIONAL passes just cause a nikka is black and INSTEAD praise those that raise us up, and SHUN those that make it worse. That way the future leaders go "better not fumble cause they after nikkas out here" Instead of "Ive got the black community on my side no matter what"
jews are a perfect example on when to defend someone in our tribe and when to shun them, that way they MUST act in favor of the community in fear of being shunned. Right now we dont have that, and its because people just keep giving out fukking passes. Half the time its prolly cause they're afraid of going against the mob and possibly being considered anti-black, that shyt is backwards.
what a fukking shame. this is embarrassing on so many levels, and do these leaders even think about statistics and how this reflects on the future and history. I mean how do I show my child Detroit being black and useless and then magically turning into a booming city AS SOON AS A WHITE MAN IS VOTED IN?????unfortunately its like this in every major city.
That show a few years ago about Trenton's mayoral race (Brick City) was something else. It was sad. We accept bullshyt as long as the person providing it looks like us.
Yeah it sucks...but this plan has really been in motion as soon as the Casinos were built...no way were they about to let some nikkas control a city with that type of revenuewhat a fukking shame. this is embarrassing on so many levels, and if these leaders even think about statistics and how this reflects on the future and history. I mean how do I show my child Detroit being black and useless and then magically turning into a booming city AS SOON AS A WHITE MAN IS VOTED IN?????
do these stupid fukking old nikkas think about this shyt? do they not care about the community? wtf is going on here, if youre going to support a black leader with votes you better support him with money and investments too. wtf man, wtf. fukk!!!!!!!!!!!
no fukk that. there's no 'no way'. I dont give a fukk. WE MAKE A fukkING WAY.Yeah it sucks...but this plan has really been in motion as soon as the Casinos were built...no way were they about to let some nikkas control a city with that type of revenue

not if all them IT cert ballers come in and start claiming turf and blocks. cmon man. start a fb group, organize for once. yall should be able to claim a 6 block radius of gentrified communities with middle class professional blacks.Hipster nation about to come through. Detroit will bottom out and then return. Detroit has 150000 whites right now. I bet it will be 225000 by the 2020 Census.
