Oh gimmie a break. I'm not judging anyone. I'm asking why, when there are tons of places all over metro detroit that are dying for renters, so many choose to rent from a known slum lord. I mean you can't throw a rock without hitting a apt complex advertising free rent/wi-fi...etc. My good friend just went through a break up and needed to get into an apt. he had a new place secured after an afternoon of looking.
Of course he wasn't limiting his search to hipster Detroit loft space with cool urban vibes.... he was more utilitarian in his search. He was just looking for a place that was affordable, clean, that he could get into quickly, and that was not owned by a slum lord.
Clearly DK has found a market segment that he can screw over repeatedly [[as evidenced by the numerous threads here and elsewhere and just word of mouth/common knowledge) and still keep his buildings full. Are we that desperate for "lofts" buildings?
p.s. re: Greektown lofts... pretty sure there is a thread here about tenant nightmares there too. So, maybe you had a good experience dealing with DK properties, but you appear to be in the minority
