It seemed that back near the end of Coleman Young's administration there was little construction going on in the neighborhoods at least that was the talk I heard, but maybe that was just rumor. It seemed that 10 to 15 years ago, no new houses were being built. Some of the newer mayors and perhaps the administration or Detroit workers and businesses started more attempts to revitalize some areas. There are areas where there are blocks of houses which have no abandoned houses, they may even be old. I didn't take photos of many of these, because I'm not wanting to invade the privacy of homeowners with a bunch of photos of their houses. So this blog, doesn't tell the entire story as far as houses and construction in Detroit. To be a little balanced, although this does focus mostly on decay, I'm showing an example of some new construction. Here's an area where a large complex of homes or condos are being developed. Here's the model house.
