Just Let the houses Burn Down

[kraig]

Outside of some environmental issues I see no problem with this. Saves cities the $15,000-$30,000 cost of demolishing, or at least makes it a hell of a lot cheaper.

Just sticking with the Environmental issues should be enough. That's a lot of asbestos being put into the neighborhoods. Between the DetroitWorks Project, the announcement by Chief Godbee last week and now this, there's just too much that the City is trying to avoid as far as responsibilities go.
