I'm not opposed to demolitions, but I don't exactly understand the end-game. It's not like demolitions do anything positive for the surrounding neighborhoods or help prevent future abandonment. Drug dealers and squatters will just move on to the next property.
Is the end-game just a giant meadow from 8 Mile to the river? I just don't see where this is headed.
I don't have a better solution, though. Maybe just highly targeted demolitions? Or more efforts at preventing abandonment in the first place?
