Dreaming...If it weren't so cold there and I 30 yrs younger, I'd be interested in moving to Detroit. It fascinates me. The amazing buildings falling to ruin.. If I were a billionaire I'd renovate and make each and every one a public facility for learning and play.
Art classes, sports grounds, performance spaces.

I'm not a fan of using public funds to restore private clubhouses.

Most of the other items in the article are open to the public: the fountain, bhe aquarium, etc, so I don't mind my taxes going to rmaintain them.
