Detroit has more abandoned properties than homeless people. This is ridiculous. Our neighborhoods resemble Afghanistan and the residents are afraid to go out at night. Why should law-abiding people be prisoners in their own homes?
Why is this important?
My grandparents live at 8340 Central and they have since 1965. Their neighborhood looks like a war zone. When I was a kid, that community was thriving with big brick colonial houses. Now my grandmother is embarrassed by what has happened to her community over the years. No one should be a prisoner in her own home. Duggan said Detroit wasn't in the "demolition business." Why not?
