"So why did these houses only start emptying in 2006?"

They didn't. One of those houses has a 20+ foot tree growing out of the living room.

The city doesn't tear them down very fast. I have been on numerous streets like this. None quite this bad but there are numerous areas like this in Detroit. Other areas have entire blocks with only a few houses left, and still other blocks have nothing but weeds/trees.

There are also many clean, well kept areas. There are "regions" in the city.
