It is time for residents to get a deal in post-bankruptcy Detroit. Homesteading of Detroit Land Bank Authority homes can immediately improve the lives of thousands of Detroiters – by giving homes to the people who are already there.
Wayne County's tax foreclosure auction, starting Wednesday, is a nationwide opportunity to buy Detroit homes on the cheap – but the residents of those homes have little access to information to take advantage of it.
This week, the "emergency" is officially over following the Flint Water Crisis – but the architects of the disaster have yet to be held to account, and residents won't rest until justice is served.
It takes something truly egregious to catalyze public action – we all now know the harm that was done and the toxic combination of neglect and manipulation that led to it. Will Flint be the tipping point?
The largest known municipal foreclosure sale to date, the Detroit home sell-off could be a modern take on Manifest Destiny – luring would-be frontiersmen and speculators from across the world to try their hand at “buying Detroit.”
Buyer beware. And buyer, be aware – the same forces that led to the mass foreclosures and easy acquisition can also make life difficult for even the most earnest property owner.
If carried out as expected, this year's tax foreclosures in Detroit will comprise the largest number of foreclosures in any municipality in history – and they're not even being carried out by big heartless banks, but rather by local government.
The hearings serve as an opportunity for the Wayne County Treasurer to enroll a fraction of people in payment plans – to pay off debt they shouldn’t be owing in the first place – and sends the rest packing.
With a click of a button, over 6,000 Detroit properties were purchased Tuesday for just over $500 apiece – surprising local government, which had scripted a much different ending.
People who purchase occupied properties will evict current residents starting a cycle of blight and displacement that will cost individuals, owners, the community and the city in the long run.

Thanks to the Electoral College, leftists have perhaps the final say this November over whether democracy can hold on for at least another four years, or if fascism will take root and infect all facets of the federal government for decades to come.
What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.
Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.
Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
