OT sort of: 100 Abandoned Houses

[jpinpb]

What was more disturbing:
“The number of abandoned houses in Detroit is more like 12,000. Encompassing an area of over 138 square miles, Detroit has enough room to hold the land mass of San Francisco, Boston, and Manhattan Island, yet the population has fallen from close to 2 million citizens, to most likely less than 800,000. With such a dramatic decline, the abandoned house problem is not likely to go away any time soon.”

More like an abandoned city. Saddens me that a once industrial city w/opportunity has been reduced to this condition. Why wouldn’t a big company take advantage of the dire situation and set up shop on the cheap and get people back to work in our country.

I’m sure I’m being too simplistic and idealistic.

jpinpb, I know how much you love old houses.

Most people, however, are not into fixing houses. They let houses deteriorate until eventually another owner comes in and renovates in the fashion of the day.

If the economics of the neighborhood go down, then the houses go into decay.

If you look at the shrinking villages and small towns in Europe, you will see a lot of decay as the young people move to the city. Of course, those stones house are well build and have already lasted centuries.

Having lived there in the early 90s, my first though was that it was Detroit.

The story isn’t about the houses, the story is about the city.

It’s a shame, those houses were truely grand.

For the burned houses, they are probably hell night victims. The houses were abandoned long before they are burned.
