Detroit Land Bank Owned Properties Used For Drug And Sex Trafficking

Detroit Land Bank Owned Properties Used As Distribution Points For Drug And Sex Trafficking To Posh Suburbs

Detroit Land Bank
Many people in Detroit have never heard of the Detroit Land Bank. The few people that have heard of it have only heard about it from the demolition scandal from two years ago.
The Detroit Land Bank basically buys homes from the county no one wants at a tax auction. The Land Bank then demolishes the house or sells the property to real estate investors. The Detroit Land Bank’s inventory is made up of abandoned homes. Homes that have been vacant for decades. 
The Detroit Land Bank is supposed to secure these properties. They are also supposed to maintain them. However, that very rarely happens.
Many of these properties become havens for neighborhood drug addicts and drug dealers. Except for one property less than a quarter mile south of 8 Mile. 8 Mile is also the northern boundary of Detroit and it borders both suburban counties of Oakland and Macomb.
