DETROIT – The city of Detroit is ramping up its Demolition Projects and getting rid of more abandoned homes throughout its neighborhoods.
“It did take me nine years to get this house knocked down,” said Marcea Walker. “That was a very long time.”
Marcea Walker lives on Prest Street and for years, she said the empty lot next to her was home to everything bad.
“It was a hazard. You know, with animals and rodents. It was just bad and keeping it clean, it was even more difficult for me and my husband,” Walker said. “We had to pick up stuff, take it where it needs to be done, when people did illegal dumping. Crime, that goes without being said.”
