Huffypo has some big plans on saving Detroit.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/detroit-in-20-years-2033_n_4269422.html

This inspired me to think of some ways to help out this great, but struggling city. Being an incredibly lazy person, I wanted to do it with the least effort possible. Here are a few ideas:

Fallout Theme Park



Detroit Pistons could play the super mutants, and hire crackheads to be ghouls. Have a currency exchange to buy caps, and make caps the only recognized currency at shops in the city. It would be like how you never spend all the money on those stupid gift cards. Free cash for the city. This might need approval from Bethesda, but I'm sure they would support preserving this historic city.

Cat Sanctuary



There are roughly 58 billion unwanted cats in America. Carpet the towers of Detroit, and let the kitties roam free. The starving citizens can be hired as park rangers The city could be maintained through park funds, and safari tours.



How will you save Detroit? Post your proposals here!

Shits called MoTown2033 where every doowhop artist has most of their body blown off in drive-bys. Using the latest chin-to-helmet technology, the singers croon about the latest union pay cut or how their pensions got cut. And sweet delicious crack rock

Also, for the love of loving god, maybe they can have an obligatory hidden track on each track about the fabled motor city knuckle shuffle I keep hearing myself talk about? Is thay too much to ask?

all those building are there because of the industrial revolution and cars. theres no more industrial to revolute anymore accept for cars and we already hosed that up by racing ourselves to the bottom and selling the remaining factory jobs abroad.

I was gonna say gently caress you but if this happened my house would be totally fine and property values would go up* so I say just loving do it.

Also I just read the article and the whitney building's wired up with romex and rats are already in the walls so it's probably gonna burn and kill some people.

Creating 'green space' or whatever is dumb as poo poo too. 'Hmm we've got urban infrastructure already in place let's turn it into loving farmland and just keep converting existing farmland into exurbs.' Yeah, great idea you idiot hippie, go eat something from the melvindale farmers' market and tell me if you still think growing crops in an industrial footprint is smart.
