If we could buy these properties and then invest in the Black community, with our own McDonald's, with our own Kentucky Fried Chickens, it was gonna be a great move.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would love to see McDonald's pay more money.
I want to buy up a gang of properties in my neighborhood and give people the chance to live in new buildings. We should make our areas nice.
We should be about more than just selling chicken: we should be a part of our customers' lives and the communities in which we serve.
I'm building shopping centers and movie theaters in the inner cities. So that means supplying jobs and letting blacks understand that we have to build our communities back, not looking to anybody else.
We can find a great sector or business, but we're investing so early that unless there's this tenacious grit, determination, resourcefulness, ability to evolve, it won't work.
Down in the south, it's how we find the brownfield sites without taking too much land take to meet the tremendous demand for housing, and that's what I've done.
If everyone invested in the neighborhood they lived in, the United States would be a magical place.
Detroit is really a model for how wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they'd otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans.
Every time there's a dip in the market, we buy. If you don't buy the land right, it ain't going to work.
Why can't we, with a more intelligent policy, actually have houses that are affordable, built at higher densities than they are at the moment and built on brownfield sites.
