Low Cost Houses - DTW, YIP

I thought those pilots in the Detroit area might want to see this. It was on the front page of Yahoo, so I think many of you have already read this. Fly safe!

Get a big fence, guard dogs, a howitzer and some assault rifles and I'll move to a crash pad mansion in the ghetto.

There is a reason cars are going for more than the houses in Detroit... at least you can get the cars out of town, (if you can keep some A-hole from putting it on blocks while you are stopped)

 

[iaflyer]

I've taken a drive through parts of Detroit and you couldn't pay me to live there. Some blocks just have a few houses still standing, since the other burned down or were demolished. Other blocks are just scary.

There are some nice streets but you still only have a few blocks before it gets scary again.

Yet Kwamie, Grandholm & Cummings all got re-elected. Sad!

 

[WMUSIGPI]

That's what I said to some collegues but then was told, "They should have been re-elected. This mess wasn't their fault, it was Archer and Engler that should be blamed." Man I need to get out of this state. With thinking like that this state won't hit bottom til everyone is gone.

I'm betting Michigan will turn around and owning 6 homes, I pray it turns around. With all the auto jobs on the chopping block, we are hurting for now.
The operative words are "FOR NOW."
It's like Texas was years ago with the oil crisis. Now look at texas, it is booming. I'm a gambler and I'm going to buy as many properties as I can while the prices are dirt cheap. Hopefully, ten to twenty years from now I'll
be laughing all the way to the bank. Detroit is going through a revitalization and yes there are dumpy areas(like ALL CITIES) but there are also a lot of cool things to do, especially greektown. Other areas that are great to live and have top notch schools are Grand Blanc, Frankenmuth, Ann Arbor, Birmingham.(just to name a few) Mackinac Island is an awesome place to visit in the summer. I grew up on Long Island, NY, lived in Florida, Boston, NJ, Pa., and Ohio. By far Michigan is my favorite place to live because there is so much to do, especially if you love boating. There are tons of freshwater lakes, golfing, skiing, snow mobiling, and the scenery in the u.p. is awesome. And you can't beat the midwestern hospitality. It's the best place to raise your kids and I never want to move.

Of course someone from Ohio would say that. Don't you have a cow to tip over?

Nah, we do our best to stay away from the Michigan cheerleaders.

Thanks for the laugh. When we moved from Florida to Ohio, I was in culture shock. This is what we saw. Corn, corn, corn, corn, corn, inbred(who by the way was fat), corn, corn, more corn. The town we lived in had one gas station, one bank which by the way was named Corn city bank. (no joke)
The only thing to do was to go to the super wal-mart.

Cedar point, put in bay and columbus are about all I can think of that made living there tolerable. And I am guessing those that defend Ohio are natives
that haven't lived anywhere else.

I plan on buying a house in the area later this year. I am thinking closer to Ann Arbor and away from Detroit. If anyone can recommend a good real estate agent please PM me.

We at least have pity for those displaced by the booming economy of the great state of Michigan.

(don't get p!ssy, just havin a little fun)

Not getting p!ssy, just stating the facts. I met more inbreds in Ohio than anywhere else. I kid you not. My landlord admitted to me that he was married to his second cousin. Neighbors of ours that now live in Michigan and grew up in Ohio said that there is a lot of that in Ohio. Sorry if I offend anyone or if I hit too close to home. I think it happens in the rural areas and not so much in the burbs or cities. I didn't grow up in Ohio. I didn't grow up in Mi. I grew up in NY and still do not yet understand the hostility that Ohio has for Mi. All I can say is that I have lived in both Ohio and Michigan and I prefer Michigan hands down.

 

[Way2Broke]

I think the hostility might have a lil something to do with Football.

Frankenmuth? You're joking right!? I grew up in the thumb, about 20 miles from Frankenmuth and let me tell you, that whole area is a giant ******************** hole and I've worked very hard to put these 3,000 miles between me and the thumb.

Kalamazoo, on the other hand, rocks it. I miss Bell's Beer like you can't imagine.
