Mackay Street, Detroit.
Dropped back down the Detroit Google Street View Time Machine rabbit hole after realizing pretty much the whole city has August 2018 imagery now. Here's Hazelridge Street, northeast Detroit. 2009 - 2018. #GooBingDetroit

This is a kind of "Powers of Ten" of property tax foreclosure, starting w/ this block of Hazelridge St. Properties in red tax foreclosed between 2002 - 2018, though most (about 135,000 of 180,000) were tax foreclosed 2009 - 2018.

Map of locations in this thread. Can click around at the link to see the number / rate of properties that have gone through tax foreclosure on each of these blocks between 2002 - 2018.
Can't get over this one on Longacre, on the west side. Six houses gone in 10 years.

The former American Motors headquarters in Detroit.
Oddly enough, this was a tax foreclosure auction property in 2015 -- when the once 1.4-million square foot structure sold for $500, briefly. The sale never went through, and the property was transferred to the Wayne County Land Bank.
Last year, the site was included in a land swap that brought it to the city of Detroit, where it’s slated for redevelopment. Hopefully that’ll be a boon the the neighborhood immediately to the east of the site, which has dealt with scrappers, vandals, and the attendant issues of a 1.4 million square foot building sitting vacant and unwatched nearby their homes.
