$1,000 homes for Cops and Firefighters in Detroit

Now this one is cool.  2 of the 3 groups hardest hit by the economy now get a break if they are willing to live in the city limits of Detroit.  The mayor, Dave Bing, regardless of your political views has gotten this one right!

Not only do the policeman and firefighters get the homes at a great price, they also can get up to $150k for renovations and likely to get rid of vagrants or drug dealers.  So, not only do they get a bargain, the neighborhoods should also become more livable and enjoyable from the mayor's decision.

Of course there are always naysayers, but you've got to commend the effort and at least these are ideas and suggestions that seem to make sense.  Do you have a better idea?  Have anything that you think can help Detroit and every other city being hurt by the economy?
