I really don't think the picture is being interpreted accurately.

If a legitimate buyer were to own the land the city of Detroit will shake them down for every last penny in their pocket without regard for the public interest.

If a drug dealer sleaze bag like Bioresource owns it they will leave him alone as long as he makes his payoffs.

I find it hard to believe that people expect reasonable behavior from the government. The government does not act on anything that is in the best interest of the public. Case closed.

Now, you might think this is a little severe, however, political campaigns are won based on lies and deception and the reference frame of mind required for politics is not conducive for altruism. Thus, inside the brain of a government official, doing something for the public good is like giving something away for nothing. A perfect example is the case where a woman was forced by the police and district attorney to undergo surgery that killed her. The DA later said it was a good result.
