Detroit Home for $1

A house in Detroit sold for $1 recently. Why? Because many Detroit residents are resorting to idiotic behavior – idiotic because their pillaging of vacant homes has in turn decreased the values of their own properties. Let’s face it, folks. If you strip siding and copper off a vacant house in the city in which you live, what do you think will happen to your own property’s value? But much of the blame falls on Detroit’s playboy mayor and his blatant mismanagement of the city, which has done nothing to improve Detroit’s crumbling neighborhoods. Mayor Kwayme Kilpatrick has a growing rap sheet, and lately he’s been shoving people like a 3rd grade school bully while berating an African-American woman for riding in a car with a Caucasian man named White. Obviously Detroit’s mayor is too busy starring in a reality soap opera to think up policies that would revive Detroit property values.
