For those of you who are thinking "better art be lost than pensions" or "I'd rather have city services than art" just take a moment to think deeper. The sale would benefit no one but Wall Street. The state could easily intervene but it has chosen to essentially give up on Detroit by appointing an emergency manager and declaring bankruptcy. On the radio I heard a caller say "oh but Snyder had to do something!" Yeah, something needs to be done, but is it this?
Wall Street loaned money to Detroit when it was swimming in debt...so of course the sale of Detroit's assets to pay back that debt would benefit Wall Street. Otherwise Detroit shouldnt have asked for the money it took...
