This REALLY brings home how quickly Detroit is decaying and does so on a basis which makes it real--down to the single family home level.

Part of it is a change in firefighting policy. The Detroit Fire Department was losing people fighting fires in vacant homes.

The current policy is to allow vacant homes without squatters to burn to the ground so they don’t have to fight another fire in that building. They do work to save lives, just not abandoned property.

If you can, watch the movie Burn, which documents the lives of Detroit firefighters.

The lesson is clear - don’t let BING take pictures in your neighborhood.

Looks like Detroit is quickly becoming a carbon sink, a rising star in the obama green movement.

This is physical evidence that Progressivism is an EPIC failure.

But if you show this urban decay to a Progressive their response will be…

“But George Bush! … He’s a War Criminal!”

We are dealing with psychotics.

Nature could not destroy as fast as some of these pics. That’s feral folks feasting on the remnants of civilization.

And if you say anything, anything at all, you’re a racist.

Note the systematic removal of doors and windows. I bet that that’s not the Chinese stealing them to resell. I wonder who is stealing that stuff?

worms and spice to you. wow my neighborhood was saved in the 60’s and 70’s by the local german, ukranian, spanish that bought up the abandoned houses and keep them from deteriorating. they all made a lot of money. some houses were sold for $1. At one point every house around mine was vacant. I couldn’t afford to buy them but now everything here is getting overbuilt. some kind of bubble bursting is next.

I grew up on the East Side of Detroit, near City Airport.
So, I’ve seen this my whole life, unfortunately.
It was a great city, at one time.

Why only 7 years?? I guess street view didn’t exist before that.

Note the time frame from 2009 onward. I thought the messiah was here to save everyone.
