I don't know what they're paying, but why would it cost more than about $1,000 to knock down most derelict houses? A couple of hours of dozer time at $200/hr including operator and some truck hauling. Crap, most of them are almost falling down by themselves.
Usually runs 4 to 5 thousand in most cities. Detroit's costs are double that, last I heard. I haven't a clue why, outside of the stifling maze of regulations that is the City of Detroit.
