I cannot argue with that, but getting rid of all the concrete and basements is the problem. Habitat may be refurbishing some homes. There are some beautiful old mansions within the city. The area called Indian Village was an area that all the rich lived. Many of those homes have gone to ruin and its a shame...Palmer Woods, across from the city's largest parks was another enclave of the very rich.

I remember seeing all those places, I grew up in Detroit and didn't move out until a year after I married.. At that time, to buy a house in the city was more expensive than buying in a new suburban sub-division. It sure isn't like that anymore...Detroit was once a beautiful place. Many called it the Venice of the country...You wouldn't believe that looking at it today...

Example: The first house we bought after marriage was a 3 bedroom ranch about 20 miles N. of Detroit and it cost only 13,900.00 sticker shock: That was in 1960.

You couldn't buy any home in Detroit for that amount of money....its sad what has become of that place...
