Here is another Highland Park, which is located in Michigan. It must have fallen on hard times, because even this exceptional home is abandoned.
Imagine if this was in Pasadena or Highland Park, Los Angeles. How much would it be worth?
Detroit has an exceptional amount of grand old architecture waiting for the city’s rebirth. Too bad we couldn’t take some billions from Haliburton and put it into a Detroit redevelopment fund.
Here in Van Nuys 
You know, I bet it would pencil out, cost-wise, to take bungalows like this from Highland Park and west Detroit and move them all the way to Southern California, where they could replace shabby 1940s cottages in Mar Vista, Van Nuys, Burbank, etc. Certainly beats the hell out of McTuscan or Dwell for Dummies.

But there is still the question of whether or not Detroit even has a reason to exist as a city any longer. The same question could be asked of other cities in the U.S.
