I truly would like to see developers perhaps doing something about all the vacant abandoned homes all over the Valley before building new ones. I guess that wouldn't reap profits, however.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924547158802290714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-64041695951689360652010-06-21T20:16:31.126-07:002010-06-21T20:16:31.126-07:00Aw, no.

Life here is much much different than in Phoenix... in many ways (we are not Mormon, and we feel the difference). Religion is a driving force behind city politics, local businesses, school boards, and neighborhood conversations.

Detroit, not so much. <br /><br />We suburbanites have given away the cities, and I only partially understand it. So many of the old houses in town (whether it's Detroit or Mayberry) look great even now, but everyone wanted the wide open spaces of suburbia, including my parents in a sleepy town of 1700. Go figure. <br /><br />But isn't it fairly accurate to say that's where everybody's citrus grove (or maple trees) went? <br /><br />Detroit's new mayor, former hoops great Dave Bing, wants to knock down abandoned buildings and convert the lots to green space--parks, gardens, agriculture. I think it's an interesting idea, but it sounds very ambitious. If it works, Bing will be a genius. Or did Cleveland beat him to it?Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-16174432115378742082010-06-21T14:33:36.919-07:002010-06-21T14:33:36.919-07:00I would be SICK over this...too bad you couldn'...I would be SICK over this...too bad you couldn't have afforded to buy at least a little strip of the land next to you, so you could save some of the trees next to your yard.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-86383937172699623482010-06-21T13:25:01.907-07:002010-06-21T13:25:01.907-07:00It really does seem like Arizona is following the ...It really does seem like Arizona is following the same path as California. so far, that hasn't ended well.
