You forgot to mention the back taxes associated with that run down beauty.
Heck the stainless steel fence is worth more than the house.
Great movie!
Millenials who increasingly don’t plan on having children have no interest in having a municipality get their property tax hooks in them (especially in an area abandoned by Europeans decades ago).
It would probably be worth buying to dismantle for the stone.
I sense an opportunity for Norris and VanDamme, among others, to buy a whole city block and start a martial arts enclave....
Where I live in the south, ‘democrat’ is now a synonym for African American.
As in, “Bunch of democrats mugged a guy outside the bar.”
Yes...a big home in Detroit. Perhaps a penthouse? In Detroit. If I had the ability I’d post a screenshot from the Omega Man of Charleton Heston holding his BAR.
Absolutely right.
Its destruction is a tragedy and national disgrace.
Thriving, dynamic cities like Detroit was in its heyday are national treasures.
And just think, Detroit was destroyed by venal, greedy, shortsighted politicians and foolish national policy.
Even worse - Almost every other American city is being destroyed in the same way.
At different rates and at different stages of decline but almost all headed in the same direction.
Hand white people a pile of bricks and they will build you a city. Hand blacks a city and they will give you back a pile of bricks. The truth is racist.
Indeed!
Well said.
Do they come with live lawn jockeys?
The troof is that they’ll throw the bricks through the windshields of police cars and store windows...
Here in the northeast, Democrats may also be white liberals so “Obamunists” would be synonymous with “African American”.
Made a small addition to your post, if you do not mind.
Seems like a good place to have a very very late term abortion, for example 73 months.
Why not? Anyone living there is just asking for one.
Another FReepers said no one is building new apartments there.

“That was a fine home in it’s day. What a pity.”
It’s a Good Thing that the people who enjoyed that nice home long ago are certainly not around to see these evil days.
When I look at the statistical sample, I would remove the outliers. Detroit is well beyond the others here - I interpret the data as something is seriously wrong where we see one value outside the other data points. Interesting that Memphis is at ~2800 sq ft. — would not live in Detroit nor Memphis due to crime.
