Bottom line:\u00a0 There are more homes on the market in Chicago at asking prices of $250,000 or greater than there are at asking prices of $25,000 or greater in Detroit.\u00a0 There are more homes at asking prices of $1,000,000 or greater in Chicago than there are at $125,000 or greater in Detroit.<\/p>\n

There are countless other statistics one could cite to indicate the troubles Detroit faces, but this is a quick and easy and very visual demonstration.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
