4,347 Occupied Detroit Properties headed to Tax Auction

[Lowell]

A dispersed, slow-motion human disaster is occurring throughout Detroit. It is not some tidal wave sending masses fleeing from their destroyed homes. Instead it is one-by-one, quietly, here, there, anywhere, thousands of people are being forced out of their homes. With them, there is likely more Detroit population decline.

A now functioning tax foreclosure system is efficiently foreclosing and auctioning properties with the proceeds balancing the Wayne County budget.

Here are the numbers thanks to Loveland with a snippet of Detroit demonstrating the dispersal. If it happened all in a few blocks there would be mass protests. Instead, everyone is alone with little idea of the magnitude of the event of which they are just a tiny isolated dot. It's beyond divide and conquer; it is isolate and conquer.

8,340 Detroit properties that have been fully tax foreclosed by the Wayne County Treasurer in 2017 and are headed to the September 2017 tax foreclosure auction. 4,347 of these properties were marked as occupied during the County's tax foreclosure notification process.
