Most of what you posted was good but this makes me wonder where you are getting a hold of LSD in this day and age. How exactly do you propose to force people to give you money on property that isn't worth anything? The structural problem Detroit has is that it is trying to tax property that has zero or negative value.
So I walk away from a property, now you have one more piece of land you can't do anything with. Your move. Now what do you do?
