I keep hearing suggestions that Detroit ought to be more forceful with blight-penalization rather than outright demolition. Though haven't the slumlords caught on that they can just argue with the city in court over those? It does seem like a lose-lose situation for the city and the slumlord has more power than he should. Plus Michigan prevents the city from seizing property purely for economy reasons. I really can't imagine how else to city could go about doing handling this.
