Detroit Is Halting Garbage Pickup, Police Patrols In 20% Of City: Expect Bankruptcy In 2011
Detroit has been bankrupt for years. It simply refuses to admit it. Detroit's schools are bankrupt as well. A mere 25% of students graduate from high school.
Yet, in spite of hints and threats from mayors and budget commissions, and in spite of common sense talk of bankruptcy, Detroit has not pulled the bankruptcy trigger.
In a futile attempt to stave off the inevitable one last time, Mayor Bing's latest plan is to cutoff city services including road repairs, police patrols, street lights, and garbage collection in 20% of Detroit.
Bing to Cede 20% of Detroit to Gangs and Homeless

That can't happen. They have an all black government with a white Joooooo lawyer, don't they?

Bing to Cede 20% of Detroit to Gangs and Homeless
City officials suggest this will not shrink the size of the city. Perhaps it won't shrink Detroit on Google Maps. However, Bing's plan would effectively surrender 20% of the city to gangs and the homeless.
Would you want to live in one of the gang war-zones that his plan would create? Would you want to live in a bordering neighborhood or in a bordering city?

I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I'm therefore sure every dime and ounce of effort they can scrape together will be going into lobbying for a bail-out, rather than any of going toward fixing their shit.

There should be NOBODY surprised at this. It's been a long time coming, and it's living proof that the entitlement generation has sucked every last dollar loose.
The unions, like the parasites they are, have killed off the goose that laid the golden egg.
And they're already plucking the feathers off the carcass.
If Detroit goes belly-up, does that mean that Conyers loses his job? [/sarc]

Detroit? No way. That city was so beautiful and peaceful and so humble. We were thinking about buying one of those $1 homes that were for sell. Sure, it needed some (a lot) of TLC, but who wouldn't want to raise their privileged white family there?
/end sarcasm
Anyway, just nuke the city and be done with it.

Can we advertise that a Katrina Survivor Party is being held there first?

Watching RoboCop movies is like watching the future of Detroit.

Lansing needs to take it over and clean it up. The majority of it was a disgusting hole when I lived there 20 or so years ago. I can only imagine what it is like now.

Doesn't Detroit have a fairly large Muslim enclave, too??

I have several friends (3) that escaped Detroit back in the day~ 1980's, and moved here. Just because of the winds of change back then. I have known for years that Detroit was a cesspool. It just gets worse and worse. How sad.

Hi,
My wife mentioned to me tonight that I believe, Dearborn, has the highest population of muslims in the country.

Dearborn. Close enough.

That's Dearborn you're thinking of. It's in the Detroit metro area though. I don't think the 20% they are talking about is anywhere near that area.

There was a significant immigration influx from Lebanon beginning in the early Sixties. Many of 'em wound up in the Dearborn area, as has been mentioned, but they also wormed their way downriver.
I remember my Dad (who was an appliance repairman) who worked downriver. He explained how most of these muzzies operated -
They basically scrimped and saved, living off of barely nothing, then when they had enough to buy a house, they'd pay cash for it. Then they'd whistle up the rest of their family from Muzzieland then they'd come over and the process would start all over again.
You can't go into a gas station or what is called a "party store" (beer, cigarettes, lottery, sometimes liquor, snacks, etc.) without seeing that the place is run by a muzzie - they are pretty much everywhere now.
I haven't been to Dearborn in 30 years and have no intention of ever going again. The place is a complete shithole.

That's too bad. They have enough to worry about without the throwbacks.

Hi,
It is my understand they actually have foot washing stations in some of the GM auto facilities.

E. St. Louis (the ultimate shithole) did this back in the 80's, seven years without trash collection. The state finally imposed a financial board to manage it in exchange for a bailout. The Governor was correct in not trusting Mayor Carl Officer with the money. City announced today that 19 more police officers will be laid off Jan. 1, leaving a grand total of 43 officers.
Crime rates for ESL are never included in Illinois' stats.
2007
Crime East Saint Louis National average
Murder 101.9 5.6
Rape 251.3 32.2
Robbery 1,347.0 195.4
Assault 5,847.3 340.1
Burglary 2,442.8 814.5
Auto theft 2,067.5 526.5

And this is how it starts. :banghead:

What about all those fat union salaries.
We're paying $25k for $14k cars just so the GED brigade can earn twice the national average.
Surely they have taxes to pay when they aren't propping up the DNC/AFL/CIO

Hi,
What is sad, but somewhat funny is this. I saw a blurb on TV last summer when I was in Illinois where the mayor of East St. Louis was considering mandating that every family in the city must own a gun. He cited the fact that it actually reduced crime when folks can defend themselves but I suspect the libs muzzled him pretty quickly.
Sad truth is he was spot on.

That's why they should have failed and been forced to restructure. The union leaders are thieves.
