On What's Really Pornographic? The Point of Documenting Detroit
This is a great article to remind everyone that Detroit is an actual place with grave issues. I'm a preservationist with a love-hate relationship to "ruin porn" - it's important to remember these structures and bring awareness, but I think the surreal nature of the photos actually further distances viewers from the place itself. I'm also on the fence about Bing's planned shrinkage. Increasing empty lots can be devastating but density is so crucial to a city's success. I'm crossing my fingers that there is some happen medium here.

@ManhattanMan I completely agree. I kept looking through the comments and wondering why no one was talking about this. While reading, I kept thinking "wow, what a complete dick" and wondering where the breakup part of the story was...and it never came. It was distracting. I see very little in the way of a personal journey.
