Thank you very much for this post! It’s the best of Detroit’s ruins that I’ve seen. Truly fascinating.

A real piece of art, a monument to Liberalism, Unions, and the Democrat Party. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Wow! Really sad to see some nice Victorian era buildings turn into ruins. People would pay big money to live in houses like that in other still functioning cities.

Are all of these buildings beyond repair?

Some of the furniture indicates a not too distant abandonment

A bleak, horrendous testament to the destructive, corrosive power of the UAW and Johnson’s “Great Society” programs of wealth redistribution and social engineering.

Heartbreaking. I was born here. My mother used to say once upon a time Detroit was the most beautiful city in the country. Looking at the her old photographs and the architecture in these photos, I believe her.
What was done is nothing short of a crime.

Detroiter here. Looks like they got it about right. Some good news: the Fort Shelby has been renovated and apparently is very nice. Baltimore Colts used to stay there back in the day (50 years ago).

When I was small I used to think I lived in one of the greatest States in the Union.
I now shed a tear for what the leftists have done to my Michigan.
I will have to stay here in Virginia since there is nothing more to go home to.

My guess would be that they are environmental hazards and the rules to renovate would be extremely costly. With that said, usually the historic society demands keeping the architecture.
