You do know that the deal is not a million dollar park, but it is a grant to Greening of Detroit AND the donation of the land so GoD can operate the garden for years and years to come.

The newspaper article is not very clear. And ensuing posters have jumped to laughable contusions with their editorialized re-writes of history and fact. Nothing new there.

The real deal is that GoD gets some money coupled with the ability to make more money, the area gets something a little more attractive than a gravel lot, and best of all detroitnerd gets something to complain about. He's always so happy making everyone else miserable, that it looks like this deal is a triple win.
