Detroit Homes Over-Assessed As Residents Struggle With Property Taxes
Stupid people in power things need to change NOW!!!!
Pushing the working class up against the world can't afford to live ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
black communities across America and the world really need to start having financial education at the core of their lives this is the number one issue of all black communities
This is racist and is meant to punish Black families who purchased less expensive and good quality homes but now have a huge tax bill. For shame.
Some of those areas would look better with fully bloomed trees,high property taxes hopefully continue to get adjusted down
This is nothing more than a land grab. Detroit is trying to become the next New York. Trying to build a place for young and up and coming adults and the Vegas of the Midwest. That simple.
The city needs to repo this dudes house. He is doing absolutely nothing to upkeep the house. It looks so torn town and should probably be condemn. It’s neighbors like this that bring down property value in their neighborhood
It's not just in Detroit but in all areas of Michigan.. I live in Muskegon County.. my parents house isn't worth the 200k they claim it to be.. they raised the taxes on my parents property about 5 years ago.. it's ridiculous!!!!
If I lived on one of those lots, I'd burn the house down, find a cheap rv trailer, get solar and plant a garden.
This Sounds like a scam to me? But the Most High God knows the truth and he will hold all accountable on the day of judgement. For conning and robbing the poor of their homes, Causes them to be homeless. So they can benefit off their lost of their homes and the homeless of the poor. How sad. Lord Jesus Christ bring justice in Jesus Christ name. Come Lord Jesus Christ.
Critical Race Theory, America racist past, present, future everyday all day.
If the government can Screw US the government WILL screw US.
Democrats destroying black lives and blame racism lol.
The over play for the u dalay ðŸÂÂŒðŸÂ¿â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂshould have voted Coleman young jr…but black ppl hate themselves
I wonder what the actual taxes were on those run down houses…. Purposely omitted I imagine.
So can we finally all agree to lower the damned taxes!?!
That house looks awful.
Taxes are racist, might be time to do away with them.
Property taxes are used to fund schools meaning they have a vital purpose but often people in poor neighborhood to have lower property taxes don't have as nice schools because of it property taxes should only go to houses that are valued at $200,000 or more and they should be increased for those houses
Local government trying to kick black people out. True Israel can't get a break.
Welcome to America…. where everyone's genius idea to get rich is to get a mortgage and have someone else pay it off. Idiots.
I bet if he got the property appraised it wouldnt get more than $30,000.00. The house is paid off. What the heck…
Lets destroy the economy then tax you more because our revenue is down
Crooked government officials
Sounds like they are making them move
So this happened when Obama and biden were in Whitehouse
Once the Reporter spoke about the 68 people the gentleman said that they had made a mistake and Jalen was denied The News got involved and the storyline changed meaning they were lying from the beginning but the guy was put in place to ease the situation knowing all along he was lying 🤥 I pray that everyone who is going through this gets justice thanks to the News 📰 Reporter and I hope that Jalen continues to maintain his grandfather's house ðŸÂ˜︠not due anything he did this young man has been struggling to pay the property taxes and he has been paying period
you dont work.. dont expect to have a good life.
Same in florida, color has no difference, my house is blue.
The government has borrowed so much money that the national debt is so large that everything has to be over accessed in order to secure the national debt. The real property of the citizens of the United States secures the national debt through the debtors insurance number.
Your social security number secures the national debt. Your property is the collateral.
They vote for the insane spending so don’t complain when they have to pay for it.
Vote smarter.
Investors are going to Detroit. They want those black folks out.
ETHNIC CLENSING
The Cass Corridors in Detroit used to look like the Dawn of the Dead w/all crackheads wandering around. Now it's a rich White neighbor. But where did all the crackheads go? U barely see them anywhere ðŸ¤â€Â
Go to the local Board of Assessment Review for relief.
Property tax, sales tax, income tax, state tax, federal tax, service tax. On every single one of your dollars.
have a look at WHO'S buying up the houses the most. You WILL EASILY find a direct connection to realtors, their positions and connections on school boards and those peoples personal line of credit that needs to be kept up with inflated artificial values…… it's happening all over the country and it's not to hard to see who these ppl are.
A lot of wickedness. Educate yourself about home ownership and taxes before the county steals your home.
More Victim BS.
Ja’lynn be havin to worry bout other problems with wear he stay, dat crip needs some love dawg
Gentrification tax
And what party runs Detroit?
Property taxes make it so the government actually owns everything and the “owners†just rent it. Should be abolished.
