“”You have no idea how ignorant that sounds but its a “consensus” opinion at FR so its expected.””

Like these from Curbed.com?
A turreted 7 bedroom (w/approx. 6K sq. ft.) tudor home for $375K
or
A 10,000 square foot mansion sold for $739K
or
A 12,000 square foot home for less than $200K
These are just three out of many well-built homes that are/were available in the Detroit area. Even the ones that need a lot of work are built better and have more architectural details than most new homes built today.
