In 2005, the condition of Detroit reached an all-time low. From political corruption and home foreclosure to abandoned property and high unemployment, issues plagued every aspect of Detroit’s well-being. As unemployment rose, violence increased alongside it, and less and less people lived in the city of Detroit itself. As a result, there are large portions of the city, from individual houses to almost entire neighborhoods, that are abandoned.
