Detroit and Land Conservancies - A Marriage Made in Green Heaven

Both Detroit, Michigan and Flint, Michigan desire to shrink in size.  Both cities, which are urban wastelands, should shrink in size.

A recent conference, attended by over 60 nations, suggests that reforestation could be the key to staving off alleged manmade global warming.  Of course the reforestation suggestion put forth at this conference can only be accomplished by forcing money from individuals’ pockets.  There is nothing voluntary about it.

But back to focusing on Detroit and Flint.  One idea that has been floated in regards to Detroit, is for individuals to simply step in and turn the urban wasteland into farms, without the blessing of the state.  Of course an alleged businessman latched on to this idea and sweetened it to obtain the approbation of the state.

A more voluntary solution to Detroit and Flint’s urban wasteland ills, their desire to shrink, and accomplish reforestation for the benefit of the environment, without forcing individuals to pay for it via taxation, would be for land conservancies, which are supported by voluntary contributions, to band together and purchase swaths of Detroit and Flint’s urban wastelands and simply return them to nature.

  1. It’s a good idea, but a hard sell to the Greenies, who are into the notion of “pristine”.  I used to take nature walks in the Cleveland Rapid right-of-way, so I’m pretty tolerant of and fascinated by nature reclaiming its own.

    A year or so back I remember reading a piece about a Detroit guy who made a considerable part of his living by hunting and trapping in the city.
