For what it is worth, one part of Detroit is being rehabbed. Houses are being painted and the lawns are maintained. All it took was for Mexicans to move in.

Probably depends on whether you can hear the mezzuin’s call to prayers or not.

“All it took was for Mexicans to move in.”

In the inevitable fight for gang territory in the Motor City, my bet is on the Mexican gangs. They stick together. Example: Los Angeles

Theres a lot of "re-hab" going on on Detroit's east side around the Conner/Warren ave area. The original housing project which over time deteriorated to the point that not even rats could survive there is being torn down (..well, at least the parts that didn't already fall down) and a new one is being built.

Thus the cycle which started in the late 40's early 50's has begun again.......

...and an additional point, Habitat for Humanity, while a noble effort, built a lot of houses in Detroit. A report I just read from 1999 indicated that out of 70 homes that went to low income families, 14 went into foreclosure........

I was unable to find any info on today's stats.........
