Actually, this would be the time to buy, for people who live their.
You're right... but the absolute BEST time was about 5-6 years ago... when 313 was pronounced D.O.A.
Some of the coolest shhht you've ever seen was just getting started when DET was filing bankruptcy. They pushed ahead, despite what was happening in the headlines. These arts/enterprise zones are expanding, and pushing back against blight. Entire neighborhoods are growing outward from these central seeds. Green spaces, beltways and community gardens are beginning to connect these previously isolated neighborhoods. The phenomena has been expanding.
The untold story: Detroit is healing itself from the inside out.
It's like cancer- in reverse.
It's still an upward trend, but my heart's with the true pioneers who rushed in and made this happen. I was around them when 313 hit rock bottom, and watched them mobilize. I'm a partisan fan from Day One, and I'm proud to proclaim myself as such.
Rustbelt Midwest is rebooting.
