Tear Down
Cause: Tearing down these homes are either due to people moving from the city of Detroit to the suburbs or other states. These homes are being teared down due to unemployment or other financial circumstances of the people living in Detroit. Once these homes are teared down they are either rebuilt into something new such as office buildings or used for other purposes such as farming or just left there to rot and eventually being taken to a garbage dump.
According to Hoyer suggested, "A handful of cities such as Detroit have demolished thousands of housing units over the past few years" (4).
According to Homrich who was interviewed by McCampbell says, "...but $8,500 to $10,000 per house" (5).

Specific Neighborhood
Brightmoor
According to Karoub told, "For years, Brightmoor residents pleaded with the city to demolish vacant homes that scavengers had stripped of wiring and plumbing and anything of value. Some structures are already gone, and now officials aim to do much more, possibly tearing down as many as 450 empty houses each week across more than 20 square miles of this bankrupt city — a vast patchwork of rotting homes comparable to the size of Manhattan."
