I opened this thread expecting to see Eminem.

The people of Detroit (well some of the people) are attempting to raise the cash themselves. 6,000 members and counting.

If they come up with the money themselves you'll have problems, seriously.

I know in Charlotte citizens are not allowed to discriminate and raise funds for certain people or activities unless they are privately distributed.

Bottom line: public = the citizens do not get to choose what to do with the $

I hope that's not the case though

If people come up with the money, some business will offer to build it on their property. Tons of free publicity.

Robo Cop is pretty important.

If Philly has Rocky Balboa, why can't detroit have Darth Vader's polar opposite?

Truth. Land near Detroit's historic train depot seems to be the favored location at this point, owned by nonprofit Imagination Station. $50,000 (the goal amount) has now been raised by the people.

According to the Free Press, the group is also looking to work with the Mayor's Office to place it in a downtown park or near Comerica Park.
