Ah Detroit, yet another fine example of what you get with decades of a Democrat-run city government. Some statistics that will make you want to take the mayor up on his generous offer.......or not.....

Median Family Income: $46K/year
Annual Job Growth 2000-2009: -12.4%
Murder Rate Higher than Iraq and one of the worst in the U.S.
Unemployment Rate: Anywhere from 30% to 50% depending on who you believe
Detroit city school system: Consistently ranked as one of the worst in the country

To me it sounds like the police officers and firefighters have made a very rational decision to live in the burbs. Will they move in for a free house? I seriously doubt many will want to place themselves and their families at great risk for that one reason. Now maybe if the mayor will give them a house like he lives in, provide a car and police protection for their family, etc. Its got to be bad enough to work there.
