Quick question: Are these architectural monstrosities occupied

[poobert]

To all of you folks getting in uproar about this structure, what else do you expect? They don't build the houses that previously occupied that lower east side block any more, especially not in a place like Detroit.

I chalk it up, essentially, to shrinking pains in the 21st century....

You act like everybody forgot how to build anything that isn't a Macomb Township McMansion.

Somewhat random thriving Chicago neighborhood I am familiar with. New construction coexists side-by-side with historical structures.

But the sad part is, you're not wrong. Not in Metro Detroit. No, the thinking here is, "How can we recreate Novi, except in the ghetto? What could possibly go wrong??"

Is it something in the water?
