Detroit has about 40,000 foreclosed homes and 80,000 abandoned properties according to an article I was reading earlier. The good folks are going to have a long week-end.

Isn’t “Devil’s Night” the night before Halloween, which would be tonight?
To: Son House
They ought to declare Devil’s Night a no limit bag zone for arsonists, and invite all the hunters from neighboring states.

From the pictures posted earlier it will save the taxpayers some money. I would let some of them just burn to the ground.
To: Son House
25% of the city needs burned down and the city cannot afford to demolish them.

They always do. Fortunately its often more a matter of preventing a fire from spreading than actually putting them out.

The city cannot even afford to bury their dead, must less demolish ruined homes. Plus its leftwing local and state regulations and taxes make it very hard to get anyone to redevelop its No Go Zone.

Yes, they already had 11 fires in one night about 2 weeks ago, and with all the folks that left the city, I think they are down a few volunteers

It does eliminate some of the places where crack is sold.

Detroit is also known as “abandoned city”. You can do an image search at google or a youtube video search with that term. Its pretty messed up.

Yep just can’t post article from the Detroit news and some other paper out there because of copywrites, but do a search and you should find them easily

Think of it as urban renewal (although in this case it simply gives the coyotes more room to roam).

It’s a crying shame these firefighters are risking their lives to save abandoned homes worth $7500. They’re not worth the risk. They should just keep the adjoining properties hosed down and let ‘em burn. A hearty purge will do that city good.

I would be tempted to let these thugs have their fun, but inevitably they will end up killing a kid or two.
