I think Ocean2026 represents a lot of people who are interested in moving to Detroit based on its huge supply of old, yet attractive, homes. It's just that he is one of a few that has enough guts to put himself out there for ridicule. Let's realize that to non-Detroiters, what happens in Detroit is rather mystifying.
Personally, I think that Realtors should have some moral and professional obligation to give some explanation on why a house is selling for so little. I'm not suggesting they say "This house is trashed", but perhaps a subtle clue like "This house has had some water damage". I would be much more interested in a house if the Realtor was upfront than if I thought they were obviously trying to hide something.
Plus, it would save Ocean2026 from getting his hopes up and "annoying" us.
