Would You Pay $300,000 to Become a Citizen of This Proposed Free-Market Utopia
Quote:
If you had the opportunity to live in a free-market utopia ? complete with its own currency and government ? would you do it?
Well, you just may get your chance.
While the city of Detroit continues to teeter on the brink of bankruptcy, one developer is proposing a radical and revolutionary idea to rekindle the American spirit and bring Detroit back into prosperity.
The driving force behind the plan, developer Rodney Lockwood, wants Detroit to sell the city?s Belle Isle Park for $1 billion to private investors who will then transform it into a utopia free of big government and ideally full of job creation and innovation. Belle Isle is an uninhabited 928-acre island in the Detroit River, between the U.S. and Canada.
Under the plan, the island would be developed into a U.S. commonwealth or city-state with around 35,000 people. Citizenship for the ?remarkable new nation? would cost $300,000 in most cases. The community would also have its own laws, transportation, customs and currency.
