Reply #40: The poster in question has offered nothing but *characterizations*, no facts.

And my reference to her being stunningly wrong about Detroit is to her claim that Mayor Bing's effort to demolish derelict neighborhoods was a mere pretext for "Detroit's next land boom".

I've asked this poster at least a half a dozen times just when Detroit's last land boom was (perhaps you've heard that Detroit has lost over half of its population in the previous 50 years?)--I'm still waiting for a response. :shrug;

I get the distinct impression that both the OP and the poster in question's interests in Detroit are as nothing more than a prop. Notice how disinterested this poster is in opinions of people who actually put their feet on Detroit sidewalks today? :hi:
