Some of these homes can be bought for as little as $1k. I don't understand why some of the high schools & community colleges don't buy them & use them to teach electrician skills & plumbing, and other skilled trades. Once done, they could sell them, then buy more & maybe even auction off a few of them, or offer some to a few of the students' families. There are SO MANY creative ways these could be put to good use. Thank You so much for showing us all these neighborhoods!

[@edm9760]

All of those ideas, they make too much sense. Will never happen in this f***ed up country.

[@jennifersignsoflife1375]

@@edm9760 Sadly, you're probably right. Politicians would get involved & set up "committees" that would consist of their families & friends. Any money they had for the projects would be gone long before any students picked up even ONE tool. We're truly f-ed.

Southwest Detroit is in beautiful condition you rarely see a empty house or a boarded up house no empty lots just blocks and blocks full of beautiful well kept homes. They cleaned out all the alleys in southwest for miles and miles they keep all the grass and weeds trimmed down they repair all the cement curves and streets Southwest currently looks like any upper class suburb they did a really amazing job cleaning it all up the only bad thing is all the homes that used to be under 100k are now is high as 200 to 500 k

Hey, folks, Detroit died in the Sixties when a particular ethnic group among its population burned the city down. Back in the day, 1900-1940, D-troit was full of mansion-filled streets, a great city to live in. It's long gone, might as well be in Nigeria for what it's worth today.

Alot of those jobs were unskilled labor, that also paid very well. But corporate interests are what corporations are about. They have no actual investment in the places they employ people, or the people they employ. We are just the tools they use to make themselves richer. We need to get back to a free market, and stop over regulating everything. So people can actually make lives for themselves. F corporate america.
