Additional police protection for neighborhoods...special assessment? TIF district?

[Corktown Mark]

It is an interesting idea that has been talked about off and on for many decades. No special assessment districts for public safety have been approved. To paraphrase retroit we are all in this together and we must, for better or worse, work it out together. Perhaps the vision of a series of gated "safe" communities sounds good to some. Voters in Detroit would not beleive it could work.

If I could pay more for protection and actually get it, that would be great. I'd bet that if one raised their taxes for the protection, the city would lower their support for their regular police.
