Property might, and I emphasis “might”, be worth something someday.

Detroit is a sewage pit. It is worse than worthless. I doo think we could fence it off and put Al Qaeda in there to fight for food. Crips and Bloods will fight hard.

The Detroit FD should be getting a lot of practice burns from people giving them houses to torch.

Detroit is the progressives’ poster child for degrowth. Bicycles, burlap sacks for groceries, wood burning stoves - it’s all a movement to return us to the glory days of yesteryear.

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention

Go to zillow.com, search Detroit for homes under $1000. There are many. At that price, may as well trade for a $650 phone.

In addition to the house, how much cash is he willing to throw in to sweeten the deal?

They’d have to pay me 6 figures to live in some areas of Detroit. Ammo costs alone would be through the roof

No. This house for example has another $6,000 in property taxes due.
