Section in PLayboy called Raw Data...with stats and facts posted this: DownTown 25% - The portion of Detroit's total land mass that consists of vacant lots. Do you agree or disagree with this stat? | ||

Sadly, agree if they are including parking lots as vacant. | ||

Quite honestly, I thought it would be more. Somewhere around a third or slightly more. | ||

JTW...you got me on that one. SuperSport...can you believe she is 41 yrs old. I also thought the vacant land would be about 1/3rd of total property. | ||

41? I suppose it says that somewhere in the accompanying article eh? I'm guessing she has a name too huh? | ||

20 years can be airbrished away rather easily if she is in good shape. | ||

Jt1 has point sport. I could photoshop you down to 41. While I was at it I could fill in those lots with new buildings. | ||

It's hard to picture it because you have to factor out all the streets and parks. | ||

I found it at the Detroit Planning Commission website, though it was in a long strip. There's lots of other things that are worth exploring, like the maps. If I don't find an updated on, I might just try doing one if I get really bored. http://www.ci.detroit.mi.us/pl andevl/advplanning/cinfo/beg/d efault.htm |
