Grass and weeds grow in front of two vacant homes in Detroit, Tuesday, May 27, 2014.

A excavator tears down a house in Detroit’s Brightmoor area Monday, March 24, 2014, in Detroit.

Some structures are already gone, and now officials aim to do much more, possibly tearing down as many as 450 empty houses each week across more than 20 square miles of this bankrupt city _ a vast patchwork of rotting homes comparable to the size of Manhattan.

FILE - In this Jan. 16, 2014 file photo, Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Anne Ralston stands in a storage area for boxes of drugs already tested by the Patrol's crime lab in Columbus, Ohio.
