Commented on Artists buying cheap houses in Detroit
@dt10111, yeah, places this cheap are cheap for a reason, and after all the costs/taxes/fixups needed to make it legal and liveable it's going to cost ALOT more than $100. That's why I'm guessing all the slumlords didn't scoop these...

ars82 commented on Artists buying cheap houses in Detroit
"I think this is great. Good for them for trying to do something creative. It's always nice to see these pockets of positivity popping up around Detroit...but realistically the city ain't ever coming back. I say this as an urban planner who would love, love, love, love to see the people 60 miles down the road in Detroit doing well." Patrick what type of "urban planning" do you do? 60 miles down the road? Seriously! I bet you work on nice little streetscapes for tourist towns and local farming communities. Detroit needs real artist and it seems that they are...
collector909 commented on Artists buying cheap houses in Detroit
I'm not an artist but would love to purchase a cheap home in Detroit for the shear pleasure of having NO HOUSE PAYMENT. Yeah, yeah, I know there's still the taxes but I can live with those. Back to my oringinal comment; I make a pretty decent profit on ebay when I dedicate myself to it. Owning a home in Detroit would allow me to pursue the avenue of traveling the country (and elsewhere) in search of treasures to resell. Heck, there's probably plenty of stuff to be found right there in the city. I've mentioned this to family and...

georgeroundy69 commented on Artists buying cheap houses in Detroit
The people buying these houses for cheap prices are well educated white people, they might me artists they might not. And yes they are the same types of people that live in Williamsburg Brooklyn, who else would try to revitalize run down neighborhoods in Detroit. Yes they will create neighborhoods that they might one day get run out of but that probably won't happen. These people could also live in NYC, they have the money they just want the experience of creating a new neighborhood. Don't let them tell you they got pushed out of NYC, they can afford to...
