Or it could be from articles, news releases and pictures of abandoned residential and commercial properties?

Like these from Curbed.com?
A turreted 7 bedroom (w/approx. 6K sq. ft.) tudor home for $375K
or
A 10,000 square foot mansion sold for $739K
or
A 12,000 square foot home for less than $200K

These are just three out of many well-built homes that are/were available in the Detroit area. Even the ones that need a lot of work are built better and have more architectural details than most new homes built today.

Definitely a lot more good going on in Detroit at an accelerating rate than most realize. There is a building and buying boom going on.

The bankruptcy really broke things loose. The Packard plant has been sold, taxes paid and cleanup begun in preparation for a half billion dollar renovation. Developers are competing for access to the old Tiger stadium site. The creditors traded the site of the new Red Wings arena for even more valuable river front property and a Texas hotel and condominium firm has apparently gotten on board with plans for new luxury hotels, residential, retail and business construction.

They have a long way to go but the movement is in the right direction.
