Examples besides Detroit? That generally doesn't seem to be the case.

Also, there's suburbs and there's suburbs. There's a huge gulf between a town like Elizabeth NJ or Newton, Mass, and a Temecula housing development.

Downtown Detroit is actually doing very well, thank you. The problem is the poor suburbs, which are unsustainable.

That's why Detroit is buying the homes in those suburbs and demolishing them.
