4 days 19 hours ago	looks like you need to	looks like you need to replace the roof and gut the interior.  i'd be worried about weather damage on the inside w/ those broken windows all winter.  need to check for mold and water damage.  otherwise, there is some potential depending on how cheap u can buy it for.
4 days 19 hours ago	that's actually not too bad	that's actually not too bad considering most low wage jobs pay like $8.00 an hour: 40 hours x 50 weeks worked (on avg.) = 2000 hours 2000 hours x $8.00 an hour = $16,000
4 days 19 hours ago	what do you think of the	what do you think of the casinos impact in detroit? on the one hand, it's additional tax revenue... on the other hand, it's mostly detroiters who go and waste all their money (so it's not even bringing in outside money).

4 days 19 hours ago	They're going to restructure	They're going to restructure most of that debt (which is mostly pension obligations anyway).  On a going forward basis, they need to increase their tax base and reduce the tax rates.  The key is really jobs.  When a kid graduates from UofM or MSU, they will ask themselves, where should I go for the best chance at getting a job?  Most of them choose Chicago, some stay in Ann Arbor (or other Michigan suburbs) and others chase the coasts.  How many of them say Detroit?  Those are the kids you want to fill up your demographic.  Once they get married and have kids, they will buy houses, furniture, and eat out at restaurants... and their consumption fuels growth year after year.
4 days 20 hours ago	Land and water are important,	Land and water are important, but so are jobs.  Young kids flock to cities with jobs.   Once Detroit gets more jobs, the demographics will improve naturally.

3 weeks 5 days ago	He wanted to go to a normal	He wanted to go to a normal high school.  Don Bosco is basically a sports prep powerhouse in NJ so it doesn't have much of a high school atmosphere.  I can understand why he would want to just be in a normal HS environment instead of staying at Don Bosco.  http://www.nj.com/hssports/blog/football/index.ssf/2012/02/jabrill_peppers_transfers_to_paramus_catholic_from_don_bosco_prep.html FYI - in case you don't know, Don Bosco basically takes the best prospects from other towns throughout the state of NJ.  Then it trains them and pushes them into D1 programs (used to be mostly Rutgers and Penn State, but it's getting more national now).
