Davewindsor-Logs into Discuss Detroit Forum, wonders why there are so many conversations about crime.

Less than 8% of the DIA art is on display.

My state representative, in a face to face meeting, told me that he voted for the Grand Bargain because it settled $5 Billion in retiree claims against the state for $200 Million. That is a good deal...

Police should clear a non-moving person blocking a doorway to an event. The reporter's twice entering of the secure area when he was just alerted that the area was off limits provides insight into...

So often, the newspapers and folks stated that the art as being in a 'public trust' and stated that as reason why ownership of the art assets could not be transferred during an auction sale, etc....

So with Barnes, the terms of the trust were changed to violate the most important aspects of the trust as determined by the settler. So analogizing, if Detroit creates a trust requiring the art stay...

The zoo and Belle Isle are still owned by Detroit....

The city undoubtedly owns 5% of the art, which has been valued at $600M. Quite obviously, the collection is worth over $300M and conceivably $12,000M.

There is no substance.
No interviews, research, exploration, etc.

Why would anyone fund such a project in a low cost area like Detroit?

Detroit needs programs and projects to lower the cost of buisness, not raise it.
Who would pay for such a cap when there are...
