Interesting point. There are plenty of monolithic buildings around that formerly housed industry and could be used to make way for new industry instead of using eminent domain to achieve the same end. The Packard and Fisher Body Plants are two that come to mind. Either adapt these buildings [[probably impossible in the case of the Packard) or tear that shit down to make way for something new. Don't force people out of their homes. They probably won't come back.
