The city needs to use some common sense and see where the property is located and what is in the works for the area before selling any parcel off.

That said, Detroit needs to enforce all blight ordnances and fine the hell out of anyone whose land becomes a dumping ground. At the same time, if the owners are delinquent on taxes, start foreclosure proceedings immediately.

This will, at the very least, make these clowns think twice before they buy land in bulk with no plans for reuse. Do you think the suburbs would allow this to happen?
