The Detroit ghettos appear much worse though. Hell, even some decent areas of the city (and yes there are some) aren't too easy on the eyes. The abandoned buildings need to go. So does a certain demographic (interesting reading about how young the median age is, causing it to be harder for do-gooders to try to uproot them and restore the city).

What really surprises me is no major waste company has come in there and started demoing buildings for positive PR. Instead of donating a few million to some useless cause, they could clean up whole areas and get great press doing it. Can't start rebuilding some of those areas until you get all the dilapidated buildings out of the way first.
