If I lived in Detroit and had to look at this schitt every day, I would accept arson as a perfectly acceptable method of ridding my neighborhood of abandoned eyesores.

As I've said before, Detroit could cheaply eliminate many abandoned [[non-historically- or architecturally-significant) buildings using the method of "controlled burns".

I remember driving through that area with my mom and my aunt on the way home from the Thanksgiving Parade back in 1983. It hasn't changed much, from what I recall. Back then, it was block after block after block of those boarded-up apartment buildings. There was a little burned-out church that had fallen down, but I'm sure that's gone now.

I just wish they'd tear this mess down - now! No fire fighter should be risking their lives putting out these fires again!
