"Demolish and Rebuild" Detroit: Fires Burn Nearly 100 Homes →
State and city officials have been looking for a way to renew the city through an unspecified “demolish and rebuild” program. It had some heads nodding in agreement earlier this year, but such a program would be a political minefield to implement.
You cannot simply demolish a neighborhood that still has some active residents. Openly moving people by force would be a Stalinist tactic.
So while talking about a “demolish and rebuild” might sound bold and brave; implementing such a program would be politically unpopular, not to mention expensive.
Mother nature may have offered a helping hand or even, perhaps, a scapegoat.
