Barack Smith The houses in question are unsafe. These aren't homes that have been kept up to code. Most were owned by slum lords who rented them out - while continuing to do little to no maintenance - until they reached the point of unlivable and then they just stop paying their property taxes. Others were people like the ones in the video: live in their house until they die and then have nobody to pass it on to, so the houses just sit and rot. The functional homes mostly belong to private homeowners or banks and aren't "up for grabs." If it was as simple as "Put these people in these well kept, functional homes that magically have no owners," we'd have done it already. Nobody abandons a nice home that's paid off free and clear.
Barack Smith you can buy a 4 bedroom house in Detroit for like $2k. The problem is that if you put those people in homes, they still need proper jobs to survive, they need to be safe and cities like these don't have any jobs and are far from safe.
If house fires are started by the trespassers, get rid of the trespassers. Substitute the smoke detector detector for motion sensors, that link to Police.
People please stop saying, "How about our homeless, let's use the vacant houses for them."........unless you fully understand business....property regulation......city fire CODE/regulations......and most of all....MONEY. Then please save yourself the time to type. The world is ran by money....it costs money to live in a home. It costs money to demolish a home. And it costs money to have homeless people be under the roof of a home, etc.
Only in the U.S is there a 1M+ homeless people and hundreds of thousands of vacant houses..
Barack Smith what about India

Barack Smith Are these houses locked up? Maybe some interconnected smoke alarms need to be installed between the houses.
This video kind of makes up for the Nintendo Switch videos, not fully though.
