I know in some of the areas with the worst reputations buildings have decayed but many have been removed. These neighborhoods are not dense with people any more- there may only be one or two houses on a block.

Will these neighborhoods always be considered bad?

Are they still considered dangerous?

If Detroit didn't have such a foolish and expensive taxes, wouldn't people be encouraged to buy a house there and grab some cheap adjoining lots to make a really nice property?

Are there specific areas like this on which you have opinions?
