That looks like a lot of work, but I'd do it! Love that they are skiiers not snowboarders...

Thats kinda pricey for residential demolition. I guess they had to factor in the, uuhhh, overhead (wink wink) for doing business in D.

Yeah, over 20k per home, when they are small and likely so close?
Yeah, factoring in something for sure.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wrap my head around wanting to stay in a place like Detroit.

There are so much amazing architecture and history in Detroit. It makes me sad it is in such a bad state. It so much of American history.
