Four Decades of Black Rule: Clearing Out Detroit’s Destroyed Buildings to Cost $1.9 Billion

After four decades of Black leadership and with a Black population of over 80% we have seen a major American city turned into a third world country.  Billions of Dollars is now needed to repair all the unusable buildings littered across the city.  Funny how nobody wants to mention the racial angle to what has taken place in Detroit because it is apparently racist to say anything negative about Blacks even if it is true.  This failure by Blacks to manage Detroit should be discussed during next year’s Black History month celebrations if there is an honest discussion about the historical role of Blacks in America.

From RT:

Some $1.9 billion is to be spent on clearing abandoned or unusable properties in Detroit. Around 70,000 unusable properties across the city will need to be cleared in the next five years – at a cost of $1.9 billion to the taxpayer.

Uninhabited or unusable properties make up one in five of all the city’s properties.

“Detroit will need as much as $850 million just to address neighborhood blight in the next few years. Addressing the larger-scale commercial sites across the city could add an additional $500 million to $1 billion because of their much larger size and their potential for greater environmental issues,” stated a new report from the city’s Blight Removal Task Force.

“Altogether, 1,200 properties will need to be demolished per month over a five-year period,” the report noted. The expense would cost some $2,600 per resident, given the extent of the existing damage.

Towards the end of 2013, the White House promised some $320 million’s worth of aid to Detroit. In July last year the city filed for bankruptcy. It is currently swamped with approximately $18 billion worth of debt.

“Even with every available source of funding, Detroit faces a shortfall of $400 million,” the report adds.

“Adding in the large-scale commercial and industrial projects increases the gap to as much as $1 billion.”

The city itself has a population of some 700,000 residents – a reduction from 1.8 million people in the 1950s. Its abandonment means that around 1,200 buildings will have to be bulldozed on a monthly basis over a five-year period.
