Too funny. Was looking at one within a portfolio of rental homes right around the corner this morning. $9,500 and $500/mo rent.

Any of you actually tried to buy homes in Detroit? Or land? Or know anyone who has?

At these prices you can buy a fuckin city block and put a high stone wall around it with electric barbwire with like 10 guard dogs and live like a king.

Yeah, wait until you've bought it and realize that there aren't any services like grocery stores nor home depots for 100's of miles... Might as well buy some Lunar real estate!
 

Dat's as cheap as the dirt on it! I considered buying some property there a year or so ago. The only problem is that there are no major grocery chains in the city from what I recall, so you're confined to buying your groceries at the convenience store like the one above.

You could buy up a block, level it, and then build a fortress wall around it. Maybe create an organic farm with greenhouses. Or, if you bought enough land, you could make your own paintball adventure park. Call it Escape From Detroit.
 
Actually, you're giving me an idea for an anarchist colony... Of course we'd still get taxed but even the tax collectors don't come to that part of town so maybe we'd get away with not paying any for a decade or so... ;)

For security, the outside walls should be painted to make it appear as a library and include fake windows. No one in the area will get within a 100 feet of it.
 
Hire an off duty cop? WTF is that going to accomplish?

Throw a party for the Hells Angels. If you have the jacket and a Harley, free BBQ and beer for you! People are going to probably be more comfortable with the Hells Angels hanging around than some off duty cop.
 
even the hells angels dont go to detroit bro

Well, fine. Tape a funny cartoon of Mohammed onto your store window then. That'll fuck the black kids off. But then I guess you have a bunch of raving lunatic Muslims to worry about, so maybe not the best idea.

Really though, put up a small BBQ stand, and offer free food to select people (ie. motorbike gang, off duty cops, whoever). Hopefully the number of people paying for BBQ will offset the free ones you give out. That's what my grandpa used to do when he owned a restaurant. Free food to off duty cops, so the place turned into a cop hangout. Nobody ever fucked with him, while the other restaurants in town got robbed.
