Detroit [Detroit Free Press] -- A throng pushing to get into Cobo Center today to get applications for federal help on rent and utility bills has turned chaotic, resulting in at least five injuries.I'm confused. How can anyone have trouble paying rent or with homelessness, when you can buy a house in Detroit for $20?
[...]The city received nearly $15.2 million in federal dollars under the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program, which is for temporary financial assistance and housing services to individuals and families who are homeless, or who would be homeless without this help.
And there are hundreds listed on Coldwell Banker for under $5,000? Which means it would take a little over 4 months for a person working minimum wage 40 hours a week to be able to buy a house in Detroit.
