I wouldn't bank on there being much work in Detroit these days. I was reading an article last month about how vast sections of the suburbs are empty. The population has dropped from 2 million to 900,000. In particular, the article was about one old guy who's making a living as a trapper. Seems the animals have moved back in to the abandoned suburbs. Raccoons are getting into empty houses and cougars are lounging around backyard swimming pools. Here is the article, To Urban Hunter Next Meal Is Scampering By (http://www.detnews.com/article/20090402/METRO08/904020395/To+urban+hunter++next+meal+is+scampering+by)
I've read other articles about how many construction companies are being called in to demolish houses because the realty companies that own them just can't sell them. That's even happening out here in California. I suppose if they get rid of the tract homes, and plant some trees, they could turn it into a big park though. Might be a nice place to camp.
