I’m surprised some entrepreneur hasn’t made a little business buying up some of those homes cheap, dismantling them and reselling.

It’s pretty rare to see an all-brick home these days because of the expense, although I imagine the labor and transport costs would be substantial, not to mention the security costs during the demolition.

I find it incredible sad that this can happen to an American city.

Thank you for posting those images. They are beautifully done and as good art often does, they tell a story. A sad story in that many of those places were homes, places of employment or education...life...and now all of that has left them.

Liberalism/socialism/entitlementality destroys.

Knock ‘em down and recycle what you can. Those buildings are depressing.
