What crap. Maybe jeffdebruyn can join forces with sneavling and the two of them can clean up the tires and garbage dumped on this Detroit precious jewel and pay the back taxes. Now that would be useful.

Actually, he makes some good connections regarding the timing of this land deal and the money being thrown around by these well-heeled foundations. It doesnt matter where you stand or where he stands, bringing these kind of factors to light is what is necessary for the public to properly vett land deals like this, which helps establish a climate of public accountability in a effort to bring about legitamacy and transparency. This is publicly owned land after all [[even if the neighbors can't keep up with all of the illegal dumping).

This process is what community buy-in is all about.
