Forty percent of the city is abandoned, a vast horizon of vacant land and burned out buildings. Currently, there are 33,000 empty and unused homes in the city. Along with thousands of empty commerical buildings. Detroit Michigan is at the bottom of economic recession in the US. Nationally the US is just below 10 percent unemployment. The state of Michigan is at 14 percent. But Detroit as estimated by Mayor Bing could be as high as 50 percent.
