In reading about the housing market in Detroit, I have only come across one article regarding artists and other folks reclaiming the city. I think it is brilliant, with ideas like retooling old homes to make them more efficient and eco-friendly (not to mention the great deals on the homes themselves). If it weren't so darned far away, I would come up and check it out (I am in KC). Honestly, in looking at Google Street View, Detroit looks kind of creepy with all of the open space. I suppose the other side of that is that the open space is there to use and enjoy! I will continue to check in on your blog, and I wish all the best!
