Years ago, I used to work for the VA Regional Office in Chicago, with the Loan Guarantee Division, and believe me, I got to see my share of South Side homes that had been trashed after the property went into default, was foreclosed on, and title reverted to the VA. And this was back in the 1970’s probably a much more sedate time than now, as there were virtually NO immigrants in that part of Chicago at that time.
But there were live free fire zones on the streets even then.
Cleveland??
Are any of the cities below the line headed by Repubs? maybe charlotte whch is dealing with huge influxes of illegals and a poverty rate among blacks
Chicago will keep increasing property taxes to get themselves out of their deficit. They will focus on property taxes because the property can’t get up and leave. This will keep real estate prices going down. While real estate can’t leave, owners can abandon property, just like in Detroit.
ANY area/city in Texas is awful... It is the hottest/coldest, highest/lowest, driest/most humid place between Earth and Pluto.
