Here's a guy with the right idea!


Recommended Posts

I saw this yesterday and liked it.

Detroit, as the attached photo of a lonely solitary house in the shadow of downtown documents, has many vacant lots. Vacant--except for trash, old tires, etc. That's space that could be used for urban agriculture.

Part of the solution to Detroit's many problems is consolidating the few remaining residents into viable neighborhoods. Then the isolated, all but abandoned, houses could be demolished to create aggregated open spaces for parks, agriculture, etc. The dilemma is that, no matter how humble, people tend to want to stay in their own homes and neighborhoods and let the other guy relocate. It's kind of NIMBY in reverse.
