I wonder what else is on sprawlsburghpage? Maybe the following sections:
* Why Cities are Icky
* Why Nobody Should Touch Detroit (Scary Stories We Heard Once)
* Development Projects: One More Outer Belt Freeway, Anyone?
* How to Win Arguments with Evil Commie Elitists
* Urban Planning Books on Tape Recommendations (for listening to in your car while you're stuck in traffic)

What was this building used to be used for? It seems like it's been in every Dtroit thread on here. Oh, and it also looks like a scene from THE TRANSFORMERS.

That's the most depressing abandoned building I've ever seen in the Western Hemisphere. In the Eastern Hemisphere, it's the abandoned hotel in Pyongyang.

Art is supposed to move people, right? Nice one.

This one just made me depressed and hopeless.

Really ??? Even compared to these for some quick examples ???...

And I don't consider blight, crime, or poverty "artistic"

Nor do I. I'd prefer the revitalization of such areas.
