[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8434288, member: 7015558"] I just responded to the first part here because much of that entire comment is based upon Wayne buying a lot of property and leveraging that ownership. And you literally wrote "Buy most of the housing in Gotham." I don't know how to interpret "most" beyond "most." Most of any city, no matter how poor, isn't "slumlords and vacant lots." Gotham is clearly inspired by an amalgamation of NYC and Chicago in the 1980s, and it's even placed in Ney Jersey. So even if Gotham isn't NYC [I]today[/I], it's still a pretty huge urban center with a diverse amount of property ownership. Just google image Gotham City, it looks like those two far more than anything else. No one could conceivably buy up a sizeable fraction of either city in the 1980s even if property was priced as it was. Even if someone had that insane amount of wealth, the moment you start buying up property in huge amounts, that property skyrockets in price. For example, when Disney was buying up Florida property to build Disney World, they did so through various shell corporations to not arouse suspicion. Despite that, the property value skyrocketed from a value of $200 per acre to $80,000 per acre. And this is a plot of empty land, not an urban city! Buying up most or even a fraction of a huge metropolis is simply unfeasible for anyone. [URL unfurl="true"]https://groovyhistory.com/walt-disney-world-fake-companies-buy-land-florida[/URL] I'll even link to a real-life person who is trying to do a lot of what your recommending Bruce Wayne do; here's Dal Gilbert, who's worth three times that of Bruce Wayne ($30 billion). He's poured $5 billion already into trying to rebuild Detroit since 2010. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.businessinsider.in/billionaire-dan-gilbert-has-already-bet-5-6-billion-on-detroits-future-but-money-cant-solve-his-biggest-challenge/articleshow/65442090.cms[/URL] Can we really say that this has improved Detroit in a lasting way, when the city still sits with the 3rd highest murder rate in the country?
