China could deal with this problem pretty easily. They don’t have that pesky strong property rights issue like the US does. They could just relocate everyone and bulldoze the suburb.
- justinph 9y agoWhere exactly would the money come from to do that? Bulldozers don't drive and fuel themselves.
- saint_fiasco 9y agoWithout pesky property rights it is not that expensive. It's probably less money than the maintenance budget of the suburb's inefficient infrastructure.

- tantalor 9y agoWe forget history so easily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bottom,_Detroit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bottom,_Detroit Although it was home to one of the most prominent African-American business districts, the highways that were created through the Federal Highway Act of 1956 destroyed Hastings Street, home to many of the thriving businesses. Because of this Paradise Valley can not be found today. In the early 1960s, the City of Detroit demolished much of the Black Bottom district as part of an urban renewal project. It constructed major freeways through this area: the Chrysler Freeway (Interstate 75 and Interstate 375).
