Good idea to demolish. Bad idea it's 100% federally funded-----Second phase of Brewster Projects demolition slated for this afternoon

The tsunami of federal "free" money into Detroit continues.

Second phase of Brewster Projects demolition slated for this afternoon | The Detroit News:
"Detroit — The rumble of heavy machinery will fill the air Wednesday afternoon when Phase II of the demolition of the Frederick Douglas Homes begins.

Also known as the Brewster Projects, the demolition of 154 mid-level units will begin at 2:30 p.m. This phase of the demolition is expected to be completed in February.

Phase I of the sprawling complex took place on Sept. 4 when 96 low-rise units were torn down.

“The demolition of the Frederick Douglass Homes will mark the end of an era, but more importantly, the beginning of a major redevelopment and revitalization opportunity for our City" Mayor Dave Bing said in a statement. “This demolition is a culmination of my four-year plan to demolish 10,000 dangerous and vacant structures in our city.”

Wednesday’s Phase II demolition is the result of coordinated efforts between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Detroit Housing Commission (DHC) and Bing’s office."
