Apart from problems with social unrest in the great city of Detroit, the gradual decline in car production over the past few years leading to massive job losses has had a catastrophic effect all over the city and state of Michigan. With loans they could no longer afford, people’s homes and properties in many area’s of Detroit have been left abandoned by them when the banks foreclosed and forced them out. What’s made this situation even worse is that many of these homes could not be resold, so have been left empty and abandoned leading to large number’s becoming looted and stripped of everything that could be taken and used. The human cost is staggering, because not everyone has gone, many don’t want to leave their properties so stay on if they can, resolutely surviving in some districts surrounded by empty and crumbling ruins.
