WHAT?
raze all 132 sq. miles except for some "truly historic buildings"? what about all of the intact neighborhoods that still exist? what about the 700,000+ people that still call the city home? what about the rejuvenating city core from downtown up to midtown? your solution is really to just raze it all and start over? what? should chicago also be razed and rebuilt because of the deplorable condition of the south and west side ghettos?
besides, where in the world would the money come from?
large swaths of detroit already have been effectively razed, with little on the horizon for market-driven redevelopment for many of those areas. how could more wanton wholesale destruction possibly be the answer?
