Based on the domain, I expected this to be about literally moving Detroit somehow, either figuratively by relocating things or literally by physically moving the land (like Marble Hill but at a much larger scale: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Hill,_Manhattan" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marble_Hill,_Manhattan</a>)

Be really careful about cheap Detroit homes as they can come with a backlog of property taxes.

I'll get asked where I identify as "from" since I've moved around a lot as a kid, and without fail I'll respond 'Detroit'.<p>There's so much history and culture to explore; along with tons of huge parks.<p>If I had to leave Tokyo, would definitely be up there.

$1000 to move to Detroit is an incredible lowball.

The corruption and city tax are worse than the crime (in nice areas like downtown or midtown.<p>But really its the city tax. I wonder if you can Delaware your LLC or something to avoid it.

Say Nice Things About Detroit.<p>I love Detroit. A city overflowing with history and character. The thing that struck me the most about Detroit was the <i>pride</i>. The people who live there love their city in a way I have not seen elsewhere. I encourage everyone to visit. It was nothing like what I expected.<p>My roots are firmly planted in Seattle now but just a few years ago I was seriously considering a move. If I ever left here Detroit is high on my list.

So an average of about $1600 to move to a place with a historically corrupt and incompetent local government, high crime, poor schools, dated infrastructure, and limited higher education access?<p>They'd need to add at least 2 zeroes to the end of that number to have any impact.

Can we add the word "to" to the title?<p>Or how about "program to incent people to move to Detroit"
