I have a better idea. I will buy three or four sections of Detroit's abandoned area show up with bulldozers and plow the place clean. Then bring in the tractors and farm the thing like it should be anyways. Highest and best use!

It would probably sell for far less than farmland here in Indiana. If you already own a dozer that might not be a bad idea. Just don't grow anything useful to those living around you or your crops will be stolen well before you can harvest them.

They'd burn it down no matter what because you have something more than they do.

I think the disease that devoured Detroit has infected the land itself. Nothing will grow there. Nothing will live there. Just build a wall around it and let the rats eat each other.

A writer of fiction could not make up the story that is Detroit. Sad and unbelievable, I have a cynical side that leads me to believe that it will never get any better in that place. It does need to be contained somehow.

Rather than start another thread that might be misconstrued: "Fake Cops" Robbing Detroit Citizens At Gunpoint Turn Out To Be Real Cops Robbing Citizens At Gunpoint - informationliberation

Detroit could almost have its own thread for all its insanity.

(That's a target-rich site for Ram.)

Escape from L.A. also comes to mind.
