Detroit isn't broken, it's exactly what Democrats have wanted to create for decades but they've run out of money to steal to keep it operating.

Yup happened to this guy.

NY candidate Jack Davis: Bus blacks to farms to pick crops

Quote:
Congressional candidate Jack Davis said in a Republican Party endorsement meeting that Latino farmworkers should be deported and that inner-city African-Americans should be bused to farms to pick crops.

Several sources who attended the endorsement interview confirmed Davis’ statement to Buffalo News.

The remark echoes a similar comment he made to the Tonawanda News in 2008.


“We have a huge unemployment problem with black youth in our cities,†Davis said. “Put them on buses, take them out there and pay them a decent wage; they will work.â€

the thing about detriot?

they expect people that buy the property to pay the foreclosed upon person's property taxes

that ain't going to happen in a million years as Detroit offers nothing and they expect a payoff right off the bat.
they should say good bye then

rent seekers beware this will happen if you keep increasing property values as they become ghost towns

Apples and oranges.

Farmers are going to need their own equipment......when manufacturing automobiles big corporations provided the equipment.

Yes....in both cases they write the costs off......but, making the first few hundreds of thousands of dollars will take time.

Then you see farming in Detroit as just ONE farmer......that just might work.

Let an established farmer have it.
