Detroit is a shit hole, all of Michigan is thanks to Governor Granholm.

deeeeeeeeeetroit

WOW, that's crazy. They have 142 house listed for less than $1,000 in Detriot. I didn't know the ghetto was so cheap.

Ok I will agree there are some really really really bad parts of detroit, but also some really nice parts and the suburbs around detroit are great. I grew up in grosse pointe which is as nice as anywhere I have visited and on the west side of detroit is oakland county the 4th richest county in america

Here are some houses for sale in grosse pointe MI ( the closest neighboring city to detroit)

detroit or baghdad?!

is that a joke?

No. Did you know that Spirit Airlines is offering a one-way ticket from N.Y. to Detroit for a nickel? They are also offering a ticket back for a dime and a bodybag included.

The Detroit Lions coach was looking for a new quarterback. But after scouting all the colleges, he hasn’t found his man. Then one night he sees a news clip of an Iraqi soldier hurling grenades through 15-story windows from 200 yards away. "That guy’s got an amazing arm", the coach says to himself. "We’ve got to give him a try".

So the coach brings him to America, and a year later, the Lions win their first Super Bowl. After the game the Iraqi quarterback calls his mother: "Mom," he yells, "we won the Super Bowl! I'm famous and rich!"

"I don’t want to talk to you," his mother says.

"But, Mom," the star player pleads, "I just won the Super Bowl!"

"I don’t care," she answers. "At this moment there are gunshots all around, the neighborhood is a pile of rubble, and your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week." She pauses, then tearfully says, "I’ll never forgive you for bringing us to Detroit."

Detroit since I already live in MI.

Based on mortality rates, Baghdad is quite a bit safer than Detroit, like most
other US cities. I know they wouldn'tmention that on the Clinton News Network,
CNN, so CNN watchers may be shocked, but it's a fact.

So what the fuck is with those detroit prices? I mean wtf? is that crack town or are there just no jobs?

And who is proofreading the realty site? "know offer turned down?" You have to be joking.

Having grown up in Michigan and I would say Baghdad.

I think they might be shaving.

Both.

Plus it looks like those homes have been destroyed by fire. I'm guessing land value in the ghetto isn't much more than the demolition cost.

I did see on TV awhile back how foreclosed property in Detroit was selling for insanely low prices at property auctions though. So many foreclosers that there wasn't even enough vultures to swoop down and get them, so the prices were driven way down.

Not all of them man.. I raised the prices and checked some of the $10k to $30k homes. There are a lot of pretty decant looking houses on there. I mean hell even if they are in the poor sections of town, as long as it's not crack town seems like some money could be made in rentals.

Is it that bad there that no one is investing?

Hard to believe .......

Why rent when you can buy for $25. a month :Oh crap

I doubt that...

$15.00 a square foot for brick house and lot. Is this what happens when there is zero demand for houses? Owners can't sell, properety is worth less and less each year, no maintence gets done, etc .......

Fucking scary ..... Ghost town?

lol yea that is kinda funny.

dude there was an 11 bedroom house for 30k..

There was another that was 6 bedrooms 6 bath 2 units plus a separate 3 car garage for 29k. It even said there was a "extra" room in the attic for a maid.

Detroit must be in a world of shit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I would like to see this in person ..... there was over a thousand pages of homes under 50k!

Detroit really isn't that fucked up. Just don't visit, and don't live there.

they didn't tell you on that same street are 15 burned out abandoned buildings:Oh crap

Is it that bad?

fuck yeah it is, the best time to torch a house is "Devils Night". In Detroit that's the day right before Halloween. There are decent spots though like everywere else. I went to a party in a big polish community there. Fucking big parade and everything. They also have greek town. good food there ... and they even have a mexican part. But someplaces you DO NOT WANT TO BE WHITE IN trust me.

Small print :

Several bodies of the murder victims cannot be recoverd without destruction of the floor;
but the dead human flesh smell is mild in comparison to other houses of horrors in the area.
Buy now bitch or you're next!!!

:1orglaugh

detroit would be my choice

Detroit is actually a lot better than it used to be years ago. I go over all the time (from Canada) for Tiger + Lions games plus shopping and it safe. I'm not a gang banger so the chance of me getting killed in Detroit is highly unlikely, like most cites.
