A Picture of a fine home in Detroit. The Billions spent on ‘make work’ programs and projects have as much effect as what might happen if the government was to attempt a fully financed urban renewal. In fact, if one was to look at Detroit, and have an understanding of what a gem this city truly was, once upon a time, they would be able to instantly recognize phase two of Johnson’s ‘great society.
This, by the way.. would be the finished product.
Sadly, some beautiful architecture is falling down. These buildings if kept up would selling for half a million or more in Washington, DC or NYC. Detroit needs to adopt a European style city where they can downsize into a small town where people can walk, ride a bike or take public transportation to get around. The days of Detroit becoming a big city prior to the 70’s is dead.
