I was assuming it would be old gramammas homes being passed down.


So if most of the landowners in Detroit are white already, why the outcry about white folks pushing blacks out when whites already OWN most of the areas blacks are living in?


I think more blacks need to OWN vs rent.
But honestly, I'm renting right now because to OWN something that I like would cost me 50% more than I'm paying in rent.
I live in a million dollar neighborhood but pay $1,500 in rent.
I'd never be able to buy over here unless I went to exec level or got some super nice businesses jumping off.
Also, I don't want my household expenses being more than 25% of my monthly income so that's also a factor.
I like that cushion.
