      Inkster, Michigan was also the birthplace of the Marvelettes. It's wonderful to see this sort of thing. I live in Canada and I see abandoned Apt Buildings that could be rebuilt and re rented.

    That why, it good to keep it up with law and business, and know that the state ,needs to come together, to end the homeless in their own city and state homeless, it in ny power to out effort to learn business, but it in the state power , to not allow certain rules or regulations, of business owners ,to not overpriced and keep having the same effect, at some point, it goes back to greed or selfishness, cause most can , invest in their communities, this entertainters and musicians have, funds to do. Investors ball, it always , a good abd bad thing, but definitely need that authority 💰 , cause some owners just needs extra push to bring forth more business, and some owners , are greedy and the people need studio. No one knows, but for certain just weighing and helping the people in situation , to stay out and endure. ❤

    There are places where you could take existing hotels and through minor work remodel them into an apartment building
    In some places where you'd want to have higher volume you could leave the rooms alone as single units and use existing industrial kitchens as a sort of community kitchen with a hired staff to make the food for those living there

    Isn’t this the motel that back in the 70’s police serving a warrant got shot and killed. I grew up there and one was from our school. It was such a tragedy. I will never forget the senseless killing. His wife was like 8 months pregnant at his funeral and they had other children. $700.00 is too much money, who can afford that in Inkster.

If it was just the owners that would be perfectly fine but the individuals from Inkster City Hall never not a good deal 👎🏼🙆🏻‍♀️🤧🤦🏻‍♀️

      That might be priced just right you figure, new renovation, no extras right. $700 flat. A home with a cheap mortgage in Detroit off say 45k would be $200 per month plus this plus that plus this and would equal more than 800 per month and god knows what else.
