\"\"<\/a>There are many reasons I’ve never bought a structure with a roof and walls designed specifically for human habitation, esp. one that is lived in by a family or small group of people, what laypeople refer to as a home. I prefer to stay mobile, always one step ahead of death. I owned a pair of love birds once, and they were way too much of a commitment, so I can’t imagine owning something as big as a house.* Plus, I keep most of my currency in rupiah, and it’s a huge pain to carry around.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, I like to live large. I don’t want some traditional 3 bedroom, two story, red brick and white picket fence affair. I’m not Tom Sawyer. If I’m going to buy a house, it’s going to be fantabulous. Think the Xavier Institute. Think Hogwarts.<\/p>\n

So until I have the financial means to buy the kind of dream home I’ve been dreaming of inside me dreams, I won’t be purchasing any houses.<\/p>\n

Well, folks, it’s time to start buying houses. And I’m not talking about just any houses. I’m talking mansions. Check this out<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That’s right, we’re moving to Detroit. It’s going to be like Eastern Europe in the early nineties, or Haiti after the earthquake.**<\/p>\n

I’ll be scraping together a few million rupiah, and I’m going to start buying up as much property as I can. Foreclosed mansions, abandoned hotels, empty factories, haunted insane asylums. It doesn’t matter. It’s going to be just like monopoly. No matter what space I land on, I’m buying.<\/p>\n

Who’s with me?<\/p>\n

Please Note, this blog was written under the assumption that Detroit is a thriving urban community rife with opportunity and social justice.<\/em><\/p>\n

*Fortunately the birds are now dead.<\/p>\n

**Except the houses are still standing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
