The eco-hippies are already planning on turning it back into rural farmand.

Renn says the sheer size of Detroit — a largely vacant urban prairie bigger than Manhattan, Boston and San Francisco combined — makes it a prime test case for the “shrinking cities” movement. And so an American Institute of Architects study imagines Detroit reduced into a metro core surrounded by green belts, “urban villages” and banked land.
Yes, a retired truck driver reportedly shoots raccoons and sells them as food, at $12 per carcass to feed a family of four $12 per coon carcass sounds a bit expensive.

There’s not much chance a strong city government could really turn the place around, but it could stop the grass roots revival in its tracks. I seriously doubt anything would change that shit-hole around. The liberal progressives have already turned it into a full blown 3rd world Hell.
