Honestly to me it doesn't look that much worse than before... just more weeds and some abandoned houses that were just rotting anyways are gone

Should drop a bomb on it.. For research of course. Relocate the Lions and Red Wings.

If people are stupid enough to not evacuate, natural selection has done it's job.

Move the wings into the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Detroit isn't dangerous!
Just watch out for the shrubs.
They might steal your house.

That's sad. I like this one, because that one guy is like "fuck you, I'm not moving", despite living next to a crackden and an open lot.

Keeping a nice lawn through all of it.
