Wanna live in Detroit?

I didn't think so. Neither does anybody else.  Found this quote in the print version of the rocky mountain news, but couldn't find it online to post a link.  Since its been boring lately I figured I'd just write it in since it was short and I wanted to rip on Detroit a little bit.

"$1.  Thats what a house in Detroit sold for recently. The home, located close to the Detroit City Airport, was foreclosed upon last summer, after it was purchased for $65,000 in 2006, according to The Detroit News.

    The bank was so eager to sell the foreclosed property, it lowered the price to $1 in a final attempt to find a buyer.  According to the newspaper, 14 days after the property was listed for $1, a woman purchased the house as 'an investment property'.  The property taxes will run the new owner $3,900 in 2009."

Even for a dollar no one actually wants to live there.  At $1 it still took two weeks for someone to buy it.  Wish I woulda known.  Hell, for a dollar I'd have bought it, just to paint it in avs colors and decorate it in avs merchandise.  Maybe have a few effigies hanging in the front yard.  Then, when the a-hole Wings fans burnt it down I could have collected a nice insurance check!
