Detroit has excellent water so no wildfire, Robocop is an interesting answer but he'd be found in an abandoned house after like a week or so

Directly off of a cliff if possible.

give it to canada and let them take over. i guarantee you it'd be running at tip top shape in no time.
Canadians are entirely too soft to run Detroit. Unfortunately Detroit has gone to "the game." You have to do to Detroit what was done to Gotham City during:

D town!

Drones and Judges.

Give them jobs, duh.

meh she didn't articulate it in the best possible manner...... but my Detroit people know the ? ? aint lying

Rex has a point. They people in charge are crooked themselves, so the entire system has to be gutted from Mayor down to the police.
Next right sizing has to be done, people in sparse areas will be given incentive to relocate.
Education system has to be gutted. I will offer more vouchers for private schools until the public system is on par with them. I would like to give more young teachers with enthusiasm jobs as teachers. I want to diversify how we are taught and educated. Once we are able to, we will adopt the Japanese model of school systems. All schools will be uniformed. Science and Math and Grammar will be our core values. Black history will be incorporated year round.
Demolish All the ? abandoned buildings and communities that were right sized. With this I am already jump started the employment process.
Recoup back taxes from building owners who haven't paid, and take back that property.
Put mandatory action laws on anyone who buys commercial land. Upon buying it, you have to do something with it within 3years.
Rezone parts of Southwest.
Lure a variety of jobs with low tax incentives.
Expand police force.
Go over various plans to remodel the city. Green energy, farming due to the vast amounts of land.
Restructure the balance and checks system for the mayor, eliminate city council.
Provide education and work incentive programs for citizens. Utilize our many Universities and Community Colleges with patnerships and scholarships to local schools starting in elementary.
Retrain, and hire or import more police officers.
Unearth ? run,use it and the Detroit river for possible hydro energy solutions. With this you can raise the rates to the burbs, and there ain't ? they can do about it.
Incorporate Highland Park into the city.
Rebuild our roads and sewer system.
Phase 1 complete. 9 more to go.
In 25 years I can Make Detroit into a World class city. -
same way they run Baghdad, armed marines at every corner

man im back in detroit for the summer and was on the eastside today by denby highschool and literally for about 4 blocks on one side of the street every house was abandoned and falling apart.
its so much work to be done but city officials cant seem to find a plan and work together too many people have their own agendas -
You dont run the city of detroit, you run from the city of detroit.

Very true. They are too selfish and corrupt to think about what's best for the people that voted them in. They have neglected the inner city for too long. Build from the inside out, not outside in. Downtown is better, but not good still.
I want the People Mover Demolished ASAP though. -

Let Eminem and Royce groom all the up and coming rappers. They'll fix that city in no time.

As much ? as they talk about Kwame, noooooooooooobody was as crooked as Coleman Young (RIP). But, at the same time, he did do a lot for the city. -

I think Duggan may get elected, not sure how I feel about him.

I agree man, my thing would by how do you complete this process without doing the same thing twice by putting newly appointed crooked officials in office? How do we keep these people from becoming corrupt?

I think they tried something like this in Southwest and them ? wasnt havin it. You got people who are stubborn as hell and dont wanna leave the block they been on for 50 yrs+, then it turns into a government vs. the people stigma that is ever so popular among minorities once things dont go their way completely. Of course, this solution is ideal, and Im for right sizing, ? I'll even go as far as sayin gentrification...but how do you get 100% of the people on board?

This here is powerful. I couldnt agree more, I think the mass of our problems started here. When the education became lackluster, so did the parents, then the students, then those students became the parents then the cycle continued. I think you'd see a lot of opposition from some powerful people that would be against putting public school children in private schools with vouchers, especially expecting these students to decrease the magnet of these schools.
Demolish All the ? abandoned buildings and communities that were right sized. With this I am already jump started the employment process.
Again, all dope ass ideas, but the one thing they'd throw back is: How will we pay for this? I think community involvement would help alleviate that problem at least partially, then they could bring in city workers, contractors, etc. But this needs to be done desperately.
Recoup back taxes from building owners who haven't paid, and take back that property.
Solid idea, just hope they dont come up with excuses why they cant pay or not pay all of it. ? will see jail time off this one, for sure
Put mandatory action laws on anyone who buys commercial land. Upon buying it, you have to do something with it within 3years.
I agree, sad part is theyre doing it in the suburbs already, just not in Detroit city limits, ? keep gettin waivers, then reselling
Rezone parts of Southwest.
Fa sho, there's a lot of manufacturing dollars that can be made off of that land alone. Too much existing infrastructure to let go to waste
Lure a variety of jobs with low tax incentives.
I think in a grand scheme, this would happen after the city comes out of the amount of red ink its in. We're in the black too, but theyre afraid to even touch taxes because they wanna up them ? to solve problems. Maybe possible in a multi tier phase, idk
Expand police force.
True.
Go over various plans to remodel the city. Green energy, farming due to the vast amounts of land.

My ? ! muthafuck the city council all together....so I can dig that.
Provide education and work incentive programs for citizens. Utilize our many Universities and Community Colleges with patnerships and scholarships to local schools starting in elementary.
Again, i think this would be grand, but it'll come down to funding. WSU had a program similar to this in the summer, but its no type of accreditation, just summer campish. Would take a lot of low paying "teacher" or "traching aid" jobs or volunteer work
Retrain, and hire or import more police officers.
Safety is a problem, had been for a long time, I have no clue what to do here
Unearth ? run,use it and the Detroit river for possible hydro energy solutions. With this you can raise the rates to the burbs, and there ain't ? they can do about it.
True, aint like they EVER been hurtin
Incorporate Highland Park into the city.
idk what this would, but I'd say ? it and add Hamtramck too
Rebuild our roads and sewer system.
This and a better mass transit system would help shape a lot Detroit's infrastructure. Business, schools, etc can all mold around it plus I think it'll make the city a better attraction for tourists, business and migrants.

You definitely onto some ? man, I would write the Gov or somebody. I say ? too much so it probably wouldnt work out for me. -
Downtown is gentrified as all hell. Its like two different cities. Downtown Detroit looks like Downtown Royal Oak most of the time.

Honestly, they did what they had to do. The city was trying to attract new business to downtown Detroit. It had to get cleaned up in order for that to happen. -
