Maybe this is the answer to Middletowns' problems just send us all the illegals (not the legal immigrants cause they all going to Detroit)
 Bloomberg: U.S. Should Make All New Immigrants Live in DetroitPublished May 01, 2011 | FoxNews.com Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/01/bloomberg-make-new-immigrants-live-detroit/#ixzz1LGJHvSrg Detroit needs residents. Immigrants want to live in America. Michael Bloomberg says he's got a simple solution for both needs -- send all new immigrants to Detroit. In a novel approach to immigration reform, the New York City mayor said Sunday that if he could have his way, he'd use the immigrant workforce to jump-start the Motor City's economy by requiring Detroit residency. "The population has left. You've got to do something about that," Bloomberg said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "And if I were the federal government, assuming you could wave a magic wand and pull everybody together, you pass a law letting immigrants come in as long as they agreed to go to Detroit and live there for five or 10 years. Start businesses, take jobs, whatever. "You would populate Detroit overnight because half the world wants to come here," he said. Bloomberg has long advocated for changes in immigration policy. He said Sunday that America's "superpower" status depends on its ability to continue letting immigrants in.

You know, if you're going to bring in a college campus in the downtown area, it is great that there's adequate parking in the area like a parking garage...oh, wait. Nevermind.

Will the effect to city taxpayers, either costs of maintaining/mothballing buildings or the possible revenue from Cinci State, be discussed during the budget discussions during the special--or is it a continuation of the regular--meeting to be held Wednesday--or is it Thursday--and will such discussions be televised???
Or will we taxpayers be expected to "trust" whatever is later reported to us???

One of the reasons the Manchester shut down is the lack of maintance. The owners have neglected the building, electric, HVAC and roofs for so long, that there is no more band aids that will work. I remember talking with several ballon pilots last year about the hotel. Lack of warm water, elevator would not work, no air conditioning in the rooms or ballrooms. So why would people visit the hotel and spend money there if the "experience" sucked? One stupid question. Dont you think the city would have done a study to see how much the building would have taken to repair BEFORE they took ownership of it?

Voleye asks....."One stupid question. Dont you think the city would have done a study to see how much the building would have taken to repair BEFORE they took ownership of it?"
Excellent question. Might ask the same thing about the other three or so buildings the city purchased from the Thatcher estate and helped Sherry Garrett out from under properties that she couldn't unload in her lifetime. They are all sitting there decaying with no reason to assume that any monies are available to bring them up to date. Mold and other public health issues abound. They are all outdated for a modern business climate. No business will take them off the city's hands, especially in the current condition of both the buildings and the economy, plus the location is a definite negative. We are all wondering why the city bought these derelicts in the first place. One of many in a long line of screwups in city decision-making. JMO |

The buildings better not decay too much. I would hate to see the city get a letter from city code enforcement, telling them to make upgrades to the buildings. |
