Not intending to distract from the thoughts but when they sold,outside of the labor of love aspect,did they sell at a profit? It seems not long ago the issue was people were stuck because they were unable to sell period.
I would be interested in knowing where they moved to,because even though it is known that I do not live there,Take out the word Detroit and honestly you could be describing any urban city USA,unless one lives in a high monied section that is the norm.
Detroit went through a bankruptcy and a lot of other cities that did not cut back city services so much in order to survive they mimic a lot of sediment posted here.
I live in a city that is high on the list that is considered good to move to,unless ones life is in immediate danger police calls are prioritized,if a water main breaks,unless it is in a major street or undermining a structure it will spout water for a couple of weeks and if it drops a sidewalk,the repairs will take a few months.
Dealing with city services is a nightmare,if things are done online then they actually seem to have priority,if you are trying to open a business they will do what every other city does,do everything they can to fee you to death,but that is how they gain revenue so it is expected.
Unless one moves to the country or deals with a small town,it is the norm anymore,show me the perfect urban setting and I will move there in a heartbeat,because it is no different anywhere you go,with urban living you have to be able to deal with a higher level of BS,I would say it is not for everybody.
