Just be glad you don't live in Detroit or you'd be shelling out close to $6000
Can't have shit in Detroit.
(also funny that the motor city is not a viable place to have a motorized vehicle)
But the houses are $500
With I would assume 500k of owed taxes or some other trap, like living in Detroit.
But you shouldn't have to have a car in Detroit. All of our cities need robust public transportation systems.
Yeah, having a here in the Inland Empire in California is one thing since we're pretty spread out even if you increased density and public transit. But the major cities at minimum cars should be a luxury or something that sits in the garage half the time, and if its doing that it should also be quite small like those early 90s polish cars.
