Kurze Zusammenfassung
Der Bericht untersucht die Bemühungen zur Revitalisierung von Detroit durch den Abriss verfallener Häuser, die als "Blight" bezeichnet werden. Trotz erheblicher Investitionen der Bundesregierung in die Stadt, einschließlich eines Rettungspakets für die Autoindustrie, kämpft Detroit weiterhin mit Bevölkerungsrückgang und hoher Zahl von Zwangsvollstreckungen. Das Hauptziel des Abriss Programms ist es, Investitionen anzuziehen und die Lebensqualität in den betroffenen Stadtteilen zu verbessern. Es wird auch auf die Herausforderungen hingewiesen, wie die große Anzahl leerstehender Häuser und die Notwendigkeit, die Abrissarbeiten zu beschleunigen.
- Bundesmittel fließen in den Abriss verfallener Häuser in Detroit.
- Das Ziel ist es, Investitionen anzuziehen und die Lebensqualität zu verbessern.
- Trotz Fortschritten bleibt die große Anzahl leerstehender Häuser eine Herausforderung.
Der Bericht beginnt mit der Frage, inwieweit der Abriss verfallener Häuser die Situation in Detroit tatsächlich verbessert. Ein Anwohner äußert sich besorgt über die hohe Anzahl leerstehender Häuser, die für kriminelle Aktivitäten missbraucht werden. Trotz erheblicher finanzieller Unterstützung durch die Regierung, einschließlich eines Rettungspakets für die Autoindustrie und zusätzlicher Mittel zur Stadterneuerung, kämpft Detroit weiterhin mit den Folgen von Bevölkerungsrückgang und Verfall.
Der Bericht zeigt das Ausmaß des Verfalls in Detroit, wo viele Häuser verlassen und demoliert sind. Die Kriminalität und der Drogenmissbrauch in diesen Häusern sind ein großes Problem. Trotzdem gibt es auch Anzeichen von Hoffnung, wie z. B. Renovierungsarbeiten an Kirchen und Neubauten. Die Stadtverwaltung versucht, gegen den Verfall vorzugehen, indem sie leerstehende Häuser abreißen lässt und private Eigentümer zur Verantwortung zieht.
Ein städtischer Beamter erklärt, dass die Abrissarbeiten durch Bundesmittel finanziert werden. Es wird geschätzt, dass es noch fünf bis sechs Jahre dauern wird, bis alle verfallenen Häuser in Detroit abgerissen sind. Das Ziel ist es, Investitionen in die Stadtteile zu lenken, indem der Verfall beseitigt wird. Ein Anwohner begrüßt die Abrissarbeiten, fordert aber eine Beschleunigung, da viele Häuser für illegale Aktivitäten genutzt werden.
Eine unabhängige Studie hat gezeigt, dass die Immobilienwerte in den Gebieten, in denen Abrissarbeiten durchgeführt wurden, um 400 Millionen Dollar gestiegen sind. Dies hat dazu beigetragen, weitere Mittel von der Bundesregierung zu erhalten. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist es, die Bevölkerung der Stadt zu erhöhen und alle verlassenen Häuser zu beseitigen.
Ein Investor berichtet, dass er ein Haus, das für den Abriss vorgesehen war, für 1.400 Dollar gekauft und renoviert hat, um es zu vermieten. Er besitzt mehrere Häuser in der Gegend und möchte zur Verbesserung des Stadtteils beitragen. Dank der Rückkehr der Autoindustrie gibt es wieder Busse, Straßenbeleuchtung, neue Häuser und Geschäfte. Obwohl sich einige Teile von Detroit erholen, sieht ein Großteil der Stadt immer noch wie ein Schlachtfeld aus. Es ist noch zu früh, um den Krieg gegen den Verfall für gewonnen zu erklären.

0:02 I wonder how much of an improvement this actually makes for the neighborhood doing this knocking this house down I can tell from here from the residents every house matters getting every blooded house down they all ISO people raping killing they use these houses R houses you know they're supposed to tear them down at a far more greater you know rate that they're doing [Music] the federal government has been spending a lot of money on Detroit lately $80 billion on a bailout of the Auto industry in 2009 then in 2014 creditors lost 7 billion in the biggest Municipal bankruptcy in history so Washington decided to dump 1.4 billion more into
0:49 revitalizing the dying City that's why President Obama came to Detroit last week to see if all the money he's been throwing at it is actually turning things around there's only one MTAR City there's only one Detroit that was the photo of but what's the situation on the ground actually like police if you're in here say something so you think a house like this has been used by vagrants oh most definitely you know homeless people or you can see their clothes that's not juice sorry to say I think he means it's piss looks like someone's been using
1:34 narcotics in here you put the heroin in you heat the heroin up there's a there's a needle over there unfortunately much of Detroit is like this the population has been in Decline since the 1960s but just over the last 10 years there's been a staggering 140,000 [Music] foreclosures this neighborhood is kind of on a mix it's kind of a neighborhood on the edge you can look around see that there's a lot of vacant buildings you can look across the street here and see that you know there's a church that they are working on here there's some new construction and then you have a vacant house I mean it's just horrible to look at we get calls regularly about uh vacant houses and they're typically what you would imagine they were people selling drugs people loitering you know
2:21 I can definitely tell you that I I wouldn't want it in my neighborhood and I wouldn't want to live around it the deterioration is known as blight and $130 million worth of the federal funding has been directed towards dealing with it we met the city official who oversees a program funded by the federal money to find out what it does I wonder how much of an improvement this actually makes for the neighborhood doing this knocking this house down I can say from hearing from the residents every house matters getting every blooded house down how many more years you'll have to be doing this to get done at the clip we're moving right right now about 5 years 5 to 6 years the reason it's going to take that long there are about 880,000 abandoned
3:08 homes in Detroit there's phenomenal neighborhoods in Detroit and they're being held back by blight but when you get rid of the blight whether through demolition or through suing the private property owner and putting a family in there through the auction process you attract more investment of the neighborhoods so at the bottom line our overall goal is to attract investment to these neighborhoods I'm glad to see that they is is starting to tear down a whole lot more houses because it's they all iurs you people raping killing they use these houses drug houses you know they're supposed to tear them down at a far more greater you know rate that they're doing because if you look around you you see this six houses on the same side just on this block too yeah and that's not that the ones that I just counted you know so and this is the first one that they've
3:53 done on this first one this is my community this where I grow up as a little kid it's been like this for long I hear you man you got kids here and this neighborhood's like looks like a war zone to be honest yeah so you demolish the houses what kind of numbers have you seen in terms of property values going up an independent study recently came out mhm $400 million in aggregate property increase in the areas where we're clustering all of our services um and then that's was justification for helping us get the more money out of the federal government the study he's talking about was commissioned by Rock Ventures and the skilman foundation it found that efforts to demolish abandoned properties sell empty adjacent lots and enforced code violations have actually
4:40 pushed up nearby home prices by nearly 14% no small thing in a city where home values usually only go down what's the ultimate goal ultimate goal is to grow the population of the city but clear out all the abandoned houses is that possible it's absolutely possible yeah I mean this is Detroit we put the on Wheels uh these are burnout structures and overgrown brush there are even those who have seen opportunity in the Decay driving through an area that recently saw a demolition we noticed Builders working on a boarded up house it turned out it too had been slated for demolition but an investor gave it a second chance I've been investing in properties for a little over 5 years now one property at time I look for
5:26 properties like this and just take my time fixing them up I actually got it take off the this with the land bank a couple of months ago Oh you mean they were planning to demolish it yeah this one and actually the one next door how much did you have to actually pay for it 1,400 and then what are you planning on doing with it uh just running it out I actually grew up across the street so I'm just trying to help keep up the neighborhood so how many houses on this block that you own five major landlord in the area absolutely not only am I trying to help the city but I'm definitely you know bringing in income for myself as well so it's best Both Worlds so today you've got buses that are running again streets that are well lit again new homes and businesses getting off the ground again because the Auto industry came back that obviously gave the capacity for Detroit
6:13 to start coming back parts of Detroit are starting to recover but much of the city still looks like an urban Battlefield so it's still too early to declare the war on blight 1 and with recent Revelations of a poison water supply in neighboring Flint the president may have to wait a while before running his final Victory lap in Michigan [Music] [Music]
