Zero down loans are making a comeback.

What could possibly go wrong?

With any pullback in real estate...

The original building is nice, but the annex is fairly ugly. I hope this building finds a reputable new owner.

Not everyone can or should be a homeowner. Not everyone can qualify for a mortgage at a decent interest rate.

People buying homes they couldn’t afford worked out so well during the subprime...

I’m quite surprised that the airport is getting upgrades. The status of the airport has been discussed a lot here but I didn’t expect this.

Good to see these projects getting funding. I’m always especially pleased to see school buildings repurposed! They often have great architecture.

Detroit seems to be doing a good job of not just...

Assuming that this is true, it’s fantastic news for the city. To be portrayed as “growing” is certainly one more thing that can improve Detroit’s image.

I’ve thought that it would be interesting...

There was a ribbon-cutting at this development today, and coverage by the Free Press. The article states that the two homes that are pending received full price offers.

There is a photo in the...

Update: Two of these three houses are already pending; the smallest and the largest. The middle in size, which is also the middle of the three, is still available.

This should bode well for the...

Yes, it’s not far from the new houses on Fischer. Perhaps “East Village” will really become a thing!

I LOVE the repurposing on the Good Shepard Church. With church attendance down and the expense...

When I first came across “East Village” as a name for that area, I thought it was a bit contrived. But every neighborhood name was created by someone at some point. If calling that area East Village...

I suppose some folks would like the low upkeep of a narrow lot. I wonder how difficult it would be to convert three 30 feet wide lots into two 45’s?

I note that the listings say that two more homes will be available in the summer, “more” in the fall, and a total of 23 in “phase one.”

Some time ago, on a thread that I cannot recall, it was mentioned that some new construction was taking place in East Village - on Fischer Street by St. Paul.

Three new houses have recently hit...

He was defrocked after speaking out in favor of a bill that would have given victims of abuse a longer period to bring charges. The premise of this thread is backwards. It’s the church authorities...

Interesting that they’ve spent a considerable amount on a building that was already nicely renovated.

Thanks for that info and link. I think this project will be an iconic addition to downtown.

Claiming that the Democrats are the party of the rich is about as delusional as the pathetic attempt to claim that the GOP is better on civil rights because they were in 1861. [[Long before that...

While I’d welcome a female president, I’d prefer to not have an apologist for the war criminal Putin. So that would rule her out.

I think pretty soon the anti-vaxxers might promote some great traditional healing methods such as leeches and blood letting.

Gee, it’s almost like the climate is changing, isn’t it? A record temperature in Detroit and huge wildfires in Texas in February.

It’s probably safe to assume that they’re scratching their heads and saying that they don’t understand the American gun fetish and our being so comfortable with mass shootings.

They bought a gun for a DEEPLY DISTURBED kid.

A great proposal. An efficient use of the property and hiding parking is something we all seem to like!

Has any industry been subsidized more than fossil fuels?

The Book Depository looks pretty good.

As a former West Villager, it’s great to hear about new construction on nearby Fischer. If you get a chance, I’d love to see a photo of what’s being built.
