ARTBOXMagazine: Detroit’s abandoned houses.

Why do people have to come into Detroit and take these pictures?  Why not get to know the city instead of shoehorning us into some dystopian fantasy?

Bolded emphasis mine. Detroit is way more than decay porn, people.

The part that upsets me most about pictures like these is that people don’t come and take them so that they can show people how much we need help. They take them to show that Detroit is a barren, unpopulated wasteland to be bulldozed to the ground. Have you ever seen a single Detroiter’s face in a picture of Detroit’s decay?
