rundown 1 HOW BAD IS IT IN DETROIT?

Allow me to step away from toilet humor and women for a second to address something important.

Detroit is the pits….

And yes, literally speaking, when a house sells for $1 and you can’t find a buyer for well over a month, you have a problem.

The home, at 8111 Traverse Street, a few blocks from Detroit City Airport, was the nicest house on the block when it sold for $65,000 in November 2006, said neighbor Carl Upshaw. But the home was foreclosed last summer, and it wasn’t long until “the vultures closed in,” Upshaw said. “The siding was the first to go. Then they took the fence. Then they broke in and took everything else.”

See, if I’m Kwame Kilpatrick, I buy that house and turn it into a halfway home. That would be a personal investment for him as he’s bound to be in one sooner than later.

Might as well make it comfy
