What I want to see is that area become a livable place. It's an absolute discrace for anyone top live in such poor conditions and it's taken all this time for someone to make this urban nightmare public, thats what I call corruption.

Detroit has been an on going PUBLIC NIGHTMARE. Just look at the
train station. It has been a home for the homeless and gang activity for years. And that is a public land mark and the city has done nothing about it. The fact that it is privately owned has nothing to do with letting it rot. How many abandoned homes are there in Detroit?... every mayor promises to demolish them, but nothing happens. How can we raise our kids next to that?.....

It would certainy be fearful doing that because, the house being stripped is the very least concern. A drug dealer could move into the neighborhood and use that abandoned home as headquarters for his destructive services. Thats not safe and I'm surprised it hasn't even been a major issue in past and present mayoral elections.

I guess the suburbs are up taking in the learning effect from the city. There are already huge amounts of abandon office buildings in the burbs and now Abandon auto plant's and homes are creeping in. I give it 15 years when the burbs looks exactly like Detroit.

It seems like most people who live in the city or burbs just don't care.
