And let's not forget the primary reason for lack of renovation and sells. The big E aka economy. There really isn't anything in Detroit anymore. Detroit was what it was because of the auto industry that brought people from all over the country and immigrants here to work. That is what made Detroit a major city. When the majority of business left related to racism, exodus to the suburbs, crime etc. Detroit pretty much turned into a desolate city. And we can't forget about the shitty politics back in Michigan.
Those homes are for a niche market. A very small one. If you don't have things around you to survive in a major city, it's fruitless. You know, stores near you, a solid transit etc. people won't stay long. There has got to be something there to make the city thrive/alive to make them want to stay.
