Griswold Apartments low-income housing to be redeveloped | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
so—this is the *FIFTH* housing space in the cass corridor area that has been bought up in the past month or so. all low income/senior housing—all bought up to kick people out. limited paper trails on who is buying all this land/space up is making it hard for people to understand what is going on, but the most prevalent rumor is that this area is where the Illitches (who own the tigers/red wings) want their new hockey rink/entertainment zone.
poor and old people are being given from one month to one year to find new homes while on section 8—and they are being “informed of their options.”
this is “progress.” this is “development.” this is what the white suburbs and business owners “dream” for detroit. #OpportunityDetroit, y’all. the destruction of communities—so that white people have a “safe” place where they can puke alcohol and pee on the sidewalks on the weekends.
not only is this gentrification, land grabbing, resource hording, and white supremacist heteropatriarchy—but this is also just the most self-centered, selfish, egotistical, mean thing i’ve ever seen. white folks are nothing but pure spiteful mean selfishness.
