Farrakhan's influence in Detroit?

[night-timer]

Not much of a follower of religion or its leaders, but Louis Farrakhan has a lengthy speech on Youtube where he addresses Detroit City Council. He proposes a $1 donation per month from each Detroiter. If he can get $1 from 500,000 people, that's $2m after four months, he says. He proposes using the funds to buy Detroit's abandoned buildings, assuming they haven't become too structurally unsound and can be saved. Surely this is a simplistic answer, and how much ownership percentage of the buildings do I get with my buck contributions?
