"Crazy" idea - take one neighborhood (say, the square between Chene, Forest, Mount Elliott and I-94), remove the residents by trading them nicer houses outside the zone, fence the zone (with ICE and Border Patrol watching), eliminate any zoning, and accept 500,000 Syrian refugees that we put in it.
The deal would be that after certain conditions are met, the fencing is removed and everyone inside becomes regular American citizens.
(There would have to be gates, of course, as there would be trade going on between the zone and the rest of the city, state, and country. You can't expect the zone to be perfectly self-sufficient.)
