Tax problems. Basically, Detroit can't support itself with its collapsing tax base. Maybe negotiate the creation of a separate tax and administration zone in Detroit? Then set up a gated community secured by robots. ;) Or maybe just move to an already-established, well-connected, safe, cheep, fiscally-sound city-state that's just a short hop from some of the greatest vacation spots on the planet. ;) Patrick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Website: http://saturdayhouse.org/ Post: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
