April 7, 2018 NEW ON TED.COM My $500 house in Detroit -- and the neighbors who helped me rebuild it 13:43 minutes · TEDNYC In 2009, journalist and screenwriter Drew Philp bought a ruined house in Detroit for $500. In the years that followed, as he gutted the interior and removed the heaps of garbage crowding the rooms, he didn't just learn how to repair a house -- he learned how to build a community.
