You have to realize this is not SF Bay area. The 40-50k house they're in would likely go for 200-300k out in your area, at least from the sales prices I've seen.

Even so, the national median is like what, 140-150?

And 200-300 wouldn't buy you anything at all out here, unless it was an hour away from the city.

And yet, no one buys them.

Christ, I freakin' WISH. NY taxes and shit are killing me and in this part of the state, the "housing problem" hasn't really hit - if anything, prices have gone UP

Quoted for absolute f'in truth. I know flint and even the "nice" side this holds true. Besides the miller mansions section.

If I were still in Michigan (and single), I would take my grandmother's house near 475 and Carpenter Road. Bars on the windows and booby traps in the garage, of course.

My mom lives in the Kearsley area towards Davison (much nicer) and the 3,000 square foot house next door recently sold for $25K. Place is a joke.

I give, why wouldnt you leave your dogs outside?

Fuck it, let's just nuke detroit and start over. If anything, we should give the crotch bomber another chance.

Good gawd. That's horrific.
