Map of neighborhoods with vacant houses?

**skyl4rk** · September-28-10, 09:08 PM

A day or two ago, I was looking at a map of Detroit showing neighborhoods by number of vacant houses. I'm not sure if I saw it here or on a news site.

Does anyone else remember seeing this, and can you link me to it?

Why don't you just look for it in your browser's "History"?

Does that help?

Look where there's new construction in the area that is abandoned and prairie. Please tell me why some developer chose to build there, when it's obvious people are trying to leave that area?

Thank you for the reminder to check my History. Man, I look at a lot of crap on the interenet. But I did find the map, here:

What a scary map, to see how few areas are "well-maintained"

This map, while unscientific, should be used as a guide by the Bing administration for their whateverthefuck they're doing. The red areas need to go. The blue areas need to be strengthened. However we're how far into his term and they're still waffling about nothing at these meetings?

Isn't it obvious? "The man" is finally following through on his dastardly plan to run all the urban folks out of Detroit!

Yeah, I wonder what method they used - if they actually drove through all of Detroit or something. It seems to be implied by the name of the map [["Driving Detroit"), but really?

Edit: Ah. Okay, apparently so.
