Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Photo-heavy posts on urban life and space, including pathways of desire, Detroit's feral houses, and San Francisco's demographics. HN readers link them as related reading in threads on those topics.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “Let pedestrians define the walkways”Another interesting perspective of detroit: http://www.sweet-juniper.com/2009/07/feral-houses.html Jim takes lots of pictures of Detroit. He's also got his more original site, which is less bloggy and I like it better: http://jamesgriffioen.net/index.php?/prairies/feral-houses/
