    OK, so they give the homeless the houses. Then what? Who looks after the houses?

    What is your solution to the monetary aspect of this? So far you appear to be solving hunger by giving everyone a meal.

    People aren't capable of looking after a house?

    Anyway, it'll be a lot better to let the houses fall into ruin with someone living inside, than letting them fall in ruin while people are living in the front yard.

    I'm quite surprised that this year's Devils Night didn't already solve this problem.

    No they're not. There are vast number of council houses attesting to this fact.

    If people wanted to, they could have squatted in these houses. As they haven't they either have no drive or no interest in doing so.

    LOL... Detroit? Detroit a victim of capitalism? Even funnier. Nope Detroit is a victim of democrat politics as its worse and the population is too stupid to put anyone else in power. You couldn't put the homeless up there because it would cost too much to protect them from the "residents" that are already there sucking on the governments teet. Horetore, you should move up there and show these people the errors of their ways.
    RIP Tosa

    Stop talking. You are looking extremely foolish to those who know any shred of truth about the city. This isn't the fault of capitalism. In fact, capitalism is what made this city great during the first half of the 20th century.


    I'm not... blacks and democrats make a deadly mix for any city's infrastructure and treasury. Cold hard truth.
    Sadly, yes.
    Black mayors aren't any better or worse than white ones.

    The bad black mayors are (generally) the ones who get elected by race baiting; making the election about who's going to be on the side of black people.

    It's hard to feel sorry for the people of Detroit, though, since they kept on voting in idiots.

    CR
    Correct. The current mayor, Dave Bing, is black and not a bad mayor at all. He's doing his best to attempt to salvage Detroit, but I don't see it improving to the level of most American cities in my lifetime.
