Even The Dead Are Leaving Detriot – No Wonder Housing Prices Are Dropping

Everyone knows that Detroit is having trouble keeping people in the city. Housing prices are below scrap costs, there are no jobs to speak of as the auto industry implodes, and the Mayor is in and out of jail.
But it is a surprise to me that the dead are even leaving the city. Over the past 6 years nearly 1,000 corpses have left the city to be interned elsewhere.
When the dead are leaving the city you know you can put a fork in it.
From 2002 through 2007, the remains of about 1,000 people have been disinterred and moved out of the city, according to permits stored in metal filing cabinets in the city’s department of health. Looked at in another way, for about every 30 living human beings who leave Detroit, one dead human being follows. Moreover, anecdotal evidence compiled by a Detroit professor suggests the figure may be twice as high, meaning city records may be incomplete and that thousands upon thousands of deceased people have been relocated from the city over the past 20 years. via Detroit News
