There is no demand for abandoned factories in Detroit. Who knew?

The city is bankrupt and cannot afford to demolish the empty houses and buildings in its environs. So it sits.

Packard did build great cars, though.

Thanks. Someone else indicated it had been occupied in parcial by other small companies which makes sense. Usually where I’m from, if you can’t sell a property, it becomes more cost effective to tear down a building than to pay mounting property taxes.
