There is no way that's true, right? Every home that you can see in the pictures on that listing look abandoned... literally
I don't know what you are looking at but cruise around street view here and you'll see about all the homes are well maintained in that neighborhood.
google maps Palmer Woods
They have their own security patrol and there is a police station right across the road.

This pic is kind of mind blowing. What other city has that much vacant land within sight of downtown?
You can look around on Google Maps and see neighborhoods with all the address/house #s but with no associated house, just vacant land. Huge swaths of just vacant land.
I think there's also an asston of closed/abandoned public schools scattered around there as well.

This pic shows quite a contrast. All of that vacant land on the Detroit side used to have houses.
Gross Pointe actually blocked off some streets at the Detroit city limits.

Look
If you had One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?

I’ve always been oddly fascinated with Detroit. Grosse Point still seems to be thriving, but definitely looks like a deal in terms of housing.

I'm not seeing shitholes.
Palmer Woods was/is the wealthiest neighborhood in Detroit, so the houses were not packed in like the rest of the city. And they have trees. That were planted. Back in the day it's where all the industrialists built their homes. And Detroit had a lot of industrialists.

Detroit was practically giving away warehouses that took up an entire block a few years back. A free warehouse and a $500 house still wasn't worth it to live in Detroi
A huge warehouse would make a great shooting range

These guys patrolling it?

Get rid of that shitty tree and those ugly bushes and it would double the price.

Their downtown area, especially along the river, is actually pretty awesome. At least it was in 2019 when I stayed
Downtown and Greektown are cool af. All the different Gross points and areas up along Lake St. Claire are awesome. I do remember there being road structures to where on some roads you could get into grosse point but you couldn't leave in case the police needed to catch someone leaving.
For all the hate, the Detroit area is a pretty cool place to visit.

Agreed. Was there this past summer. Greektown was packed, downtown had places to eat, things to do, etc. It wasn’t a ghost town.
As one poster echoed, I’ve also been fascinated with the place. To me, it has tremendous charm, history, and potential. It’s downtown happened before the modern examples (New Orleans).
I want to see the place bounce back. I think the rock bottom was already hit. I see similarities with Cleveland, but I think Cleveland’s rock bottom wasn’t as far down.
With ANY luck, they can use the Pittsburgh model and become thriving again.
I have a much softer place in my heart for Detroit than I do places like SF, Portland, etc.

Blackrock doesn't want to touch this. Wonder why?
'cause they not interested in putting black people in the hood. They going to Section 8 them in nice neighborhoods. Watch. This is all part of the plan started under Obama to expand Section 8.

Best thing to do there is bulldoze all those shacks. Pretty up the area a little bit. Maybe some of the Dalits will also scurry away. With the current residents living there that city ain't ever getting back on it's feet. Looks like a damn war just ended there.

Buddy of mine had a used car lot... Decided to get into the financing/lending part of it. He was dealing with some people in Detroit and they flew home into the city... At that point there was a lot of investment into the downtown area. He was surprised how nice and clean everything was in that section of downtown. He was used to Birmingham, Memphis, Jackson and said it was quite a bit nicer.
Then they rented a car and started to see the rest of the city and said it was like the worst parts of Jackson and Memphis but even worse. Complete neighborhoods abandoned versus the hoods in the south where there are abandoned homes in a couple of spots but it is sprinkled in the hoods. These were whole entire neighborhoods that were upper middle class or nicer when Detroit was booming. Now they are in ruins like a war zone. Anyways, the south and the Midwest are the best. Screw everyone north of Kentucky east of the Mississippi River. Cept Wisconsin.
