SoftBonds -> RE: "No Knock-Out Punch On Rick Santorum" (3/2/2012 6:29:38 PM)
I remember hearing that Detroit was tearing down blocks where no one lived and making parks. It reduced the urban blight and made more green space for people to play? Was that a city fluff piece, or is there some hope?

Sorry, but you heard PR spin .. like everything else today.

If people knew what that city looked like, they'd be completely shocked to see these types of conditions existing in America. You are RIGHT on the money!

I am grateful that some of the buildings are torn down...whole blocks are like urban prairie.
