I wonder why Detroit isn’t on the list?
You can buy most any house there for the price of a used car. They have a hockey team and isn’t Rap an art form?/sarc.
Because the only people that live in Detroit don't pay for anything, they are all dependent on the government. Those that can afford to live there move out.
Sarcasm noted. There are many reasons it's attractive to move there, but one overwhelming reason not to -- no jobs. You can get a big house on a big lot in Detroit for what it costs to get a railroad apartment in NYC. The only thing missing is the job so you can pay for it. Cheap houses -- even well-built nice ones -- aren't much of a draw if you have a moribund (I love that word) local economy.
