To me it is simple. In the past land grants were used to populate areas of the west. Do the same there, establish areas with an existing infrastructure, give the land away, make taxes low, so low that it covers just the basic costs of services, not the bloated city government infrastructure. Roll back building regulations. Use the existing infrastructure and entice start up companies to operate with responsible freedom. The people will b industrious if allowed to be. We need freedom once again to make Detroit great like it was 100 years ago.
