According to the article the city is claiming it costs $8,000.00 do demolish a house. Snyder is saying it can be done for half of that if certain regulations are relaxed. I'd like to know what these regulations are and if it will impact public health in a negative way. If not, then hopefully it's true. I would think that would be quite an embarrassment for the City though, and you would then know there are kickbacks going on even in the demolition of the City.
