Absolutely correct. That sort of thing is wasted on anything housing something less glorious than the U.S. government or possibly a corporate headquarters.

I was almost expecting a response like this one. My only reply is that you obviously haven't gotten around much in life. The statements are rather mild compared to what they could have been.That has to be one of the most arrogant, not to mention ignorant, statements I have ever read. Ever.
Every building that now stands will eventually become a historic site. We cannot preserve all of them. To even try would be foolish.some people make their entire living saving, restoring, and renovating old buildings and historic sites. I'm studying to be one of them... Saving and renovating historic structures is actually a huge advantage and can be a significant economic booster for a particular area.

Detroit man files lawsuit against demolition of rail depot
Well they only took down half of TIger Stadium and that looks so dumb now only having the area around the infield remaining. The current greyhound station in Detroit isnt that old and is closer to downtown and the casinos.There was a good idea in the Free Press that said they sould knock down the office structure but leave the Station section intacted. This would probably cost more but the station could then be renovated/restored and maybe made into the new Amtrak/Greyhound Station for Detroit.
But not that area. Detroit is not coming back. Not in our lifetimes. The morons who elected Kwame, and Monica, and Barbara Rose are still alive and well, and they ain't going anywhere, anytime soon.You know AZ, some people make their entire living saving, restoring, and renovating old buildings and historic sites. I'm studying to be one of them. Trying to put me out of a job before I even have one?

That’s for sure. There are parts of the city near Indian Village with vacant and burned houses that were built 5 years ago. I want to see Detroit succeed, but you also have to be realistic about things too. It’s not 1950 anymore and those who live there and elected officials need to realize that.Detroit is not coming back. Not in our lifetimes
89x discussed this a week or so ago, just lift the common sense laws such as seat belts and helments for a year or two and natural selection will take its course then we will have no more problems.J T wrote:Part of the solution of saving Detroit is to stop the breeding of the individuals who continue to drag that city down into a cesspool. The more they breed, the longer this problem will continue. Let 'em die off, bulldoze everything and start over.
