The discussion centers on the significant decline of Detroit, highlighting its historical importance as an industrial powerhouse and the current state of disrepair and corruption. Participants note the drastic population drop from 1.8 million to approximately 900,000, attributing this to economic downturns, crime, and mismanagement by city officials. The conversation also touches on the contrast between Detroit's cultural offerings and the pervasive issues that deter residents and visitors alike, emphasizing the need for substantial infrastructure improvements and community engagement.
PREREQUISITESUrban planners, sociologists, historians, and anyone interested in the dynamics of city decline and revitalization efforts will benefit from this discussion.
These online asking listings are very skewed now, my take. First, in this market asking prices are hugely disconnected from the selling price. People who paid large amounts are locked in and just sit there, asking for sums they can't get. See the selling tab:hypatia said:http://www.trulia.com/MI/Detroit,3840,Indian_Village/
Housing still varies depending what area of Detroit your looking to buy in.
