This was inevitable.  Can't keep the lights on if no one is paying the electric bill. They need to shrink the city.

The population is spread out over the city and this affects the distribution of services and schools.  Centralize the population and you cut costs by streamlining services and closing schools if necessary.  Sell off the freed up property.

Yes, that makes total sense.

You might have to pay relocations expenses as well as offering higher than market value for houses but its likely that the money spent would be recouped after selling off the land for development.
Title: 78,000 homes vacant in detroit so why dont poor people move there?
Post by: Marty Champions on July 18, 2013, 04:37:37 PM
i dont get it. its a great time to be poor and lazy as fuck without a job because theres always somewhere to live for fucking dirt cheap

i bet its a nice breezy summer up there too, they could trash the place towards the end of summer/fall move down south again when it gets too cold up there to pay a heating bill.

but seriously thats alot of vacancies. those houses are probably fucking huge too fitting atleast 4 to a house

Yes, that makes total sense.

He's right. It's a plan that has been talked about quite a bit in Detroit for the past couple of years... It is that desperate of a situation. Many entire neighborhoods are vacant, boarded up and burned out houses and buildings.

There are no tax payers left in the city. Anyone who did work or owned property fled the city in the past decade. The city failed to provide basic services. The only tax payers left are retirees from the auto companies. For years the city lied on their census because any city with a population over one million gets huge tax benefits and a federal grant. When it was finally investigated they found the figure to be less then 800,000....They were actually using the names of dead people to boost their numbers.

All of the elected offcicals are corrupt. The previous Mayor and all of the city council were among the highest paid in the country. All had their own cadre of bodyguards. Many had family, friends and babies mamas on the city payroll. While the city fell further and further into debt they spent money like it was going out of style.  Everytime election year rolled around the always sang the same old bullshit tune about "the community" and "keeping it in the city"...a bunch of bullshit, black,libtard rhetoric and the voters were always shamed into voting the same assholes in year after year even when it was apparent they were robbing the city blind.

Very true, beaks.  You and I could go on and on about Detroit and its problems, the corruption is that bad. They've elected corrupt mayor after corrupt mayor who end up cheating and fleecing the city.  You'd think after Coleman Young Detroit would have learned its lesson but they didnt and elected the equally as criminal Kilpatrick. Your absolutely correct about the tax payers.  It's such a mess that something drastic need to be done.

First, you have to find a decent job, which is highly unlikely.

Second, you have to plan on living there for a while, otherwise, you can't sell your cheap ass property.

Third, you have to deal with hardcore crime.

Fourth, Windsor, Ontario, Canada is just across the river, low home prices, free health care, and no spooks or hardcore crime.

The problem with reality in Detroit is this: after the 67 riots and after 'white flight', many of the homes turned into rental properties and the owners became absentee landlords. The homes were sseverly run down over the years and sold off to slum lords. Overtime the properties became so dilapidated That they were abandoned. Most became crack houses.....raided multiple times by police...others were burned down by whoever could claim the insurance.

sure there is 100,000 vacant houses but there hasnt been an ounce of upkeep to any of them.in 40  years and what was left of any value was stripped....water heaters, copper, brass, fixtures anything... so you can buy a home or lot  for 5                     .  Or 10 grand but you'd have to doze it, remove the waste, then start from scratch...in a city that has no industry and no tax base and about    500,000 felons.

This^^^ This is the product of a culture of poverty, the american version of a Brazilian favela and as a black man I have to admit, the population in Detroit has got to do better, honestly I think they should send the army and basically hit the reset button.
