i can't believe people would pay so much to live in Detroit, but i guess that's the suburbs. that's a big house. but you should see what some areas cost. the toniest is birmingham, where a 2k sq ft 30 yr old house house can cost 700k, although sales the last two years have slowed way down. the fist is absolutely the ugliest "sculpture" I've ever seen. visitors to town often remark, "why is there a monument to black power in the middle of downtown?" <ng>

Darfot, Detroit and the subs are just two major "cities" that happen to be next to each other, with nothing else in common. I only go to Detroit when I am paid to do so, as it must be a little like Hell will be. Detroit in no way compares with the North side of Chicago, but we have some areas where a lot is million. And we have Bloomfield Hills that is popular with the very rich. Oakland County is/was the 16th highest per capita income in the country. I think a lot of people are going to be trapped by what they own and what its worth. I make a decent buck and I just don't understand how everyone is moving North and West to $450,000 homes and $350,000 condos with 1200 square feet. My buddies $400,000 home has been on the market for 9 months without an offer. He starting to feel very trapped. TH
