Actually that’s another problem. Detroit city government doesn’t want those properties cleaned up. There’s more federal money to be had the worse the decay is. Neighbors would often mow grass but the city comes after them for back taxes if they do.
There are abandoned homes in Jackson Michigan near me but they don’t look as bad because the city boards them up tight and keeps grass mowed. Within a few years they tear them down.
Wow, that’s even more dysfunctional than I thought.
They PUNISH people for doing what most folks would say was a “good” thing.
Well, such is leftism in general.
