      Detroit definitely is. Stuff is cheap there and things are turning around, just doesn’t have the momentum or wider recognition of any of this yet.

      There’s a reason why Portland Oregon was so well known for being weird. Parts of the city were dingy for a long time but if you were glass half full about that it meant living there was affordable. All the poor creatives could live in a city open to change, not just the folks with high paying bullshit jobs that normally are the only ones who can afford to live close to work in the city.

      If I had the money to invest in some real estate, I would have bought stuff in the Detroit area since it’s got all the same ingredients to be the next Portland

        Detroit still has the crime though, even the nice areas have trouble every now and then.
