I'm never sure. I see photos of "ghost towns" in America and it reminds me how much more space you have to live in, that places can just get "lost".

But this, this is staggering.
I'm glad it's not common.

We have our own problem at present in filling offices left over from various boom-times and unsuitable to convert to human habitation because they were built so cheaply. Old schools, churches, factories et al, can and have been converted. Especially in London, and it was happening in Leicester by the time I left.

I will admit I underestimated the scale of things in Detroit.
The apartments, the theatres, the churches, the schools. And they're not worth saving because it's not worth committing the money. I get it a little more now.
