Housing...

Attention, Slans!

Detroit has the affordable housing you need to start a Slan Commune, independent nation, religious compound, or slum!


$10 will buy you a cute bungalow..


$200 gets you this handsome 1650 square foot brick home with recent carpet and paint!

At the time I am posting this, there are 944 houses in Detroit for sale costing less than $5000. A significant number of those are under $1000.

Their value depends a lot on whether you can get a job. Also, Detroit was a Philadelphia style nest of corruption and governmental disorganization even during the boom years of the 1990s. That said, if you are looking to start up some new and brilliant idea, Detroit could be the place. There's some good universities in the area, one top ranked even, a slew of good trade schools and community colleges. Plus, there's a good number of skilled workers in the greater region would be really excited to get in on the ground floor of just about anything. Also, last rumblings I've heard from friends in the area, kind of indicate that there's some kind of organized political movement to clean up Detroit and get it working again. I don't think Detroit will ever go back to what it was, but there's a chance to make it over in to just about any image the newcomers want.

Heck, if you want to start a death cult, a few square blocks would be cheaper than Jonestown! And with utilities!
