Can I buy you as a slave instead?

don't they basically GIVE you a house if you stay in the city ? I think I read a paper on this last year, some writers were offered a house provided they worked in Detroit

They aren't actually worth 20$
The city forces you to pay for the repairs if you plan to actually live in it. Depending on a number of factors, this can take years and cost up to 200,000$ for the worst cases.
Next, you need to pay for the property tax lost over the years to get any sort of amenities, this can cost you nearly 50k in taxes upfront depending on how long ago the house was vacated.
So now you sunk thousands of dollars into a house where your only neighbors are drug addicts and stray dogs.
This is why people are leaving Detroit by the thousands each year.

The City has a bunch of programs to entice people to come back. It's worked in some parts of the city, but they still suffer a net loss each year.
You have to renovate the house and make it up to code. If it's old construction it might have asbestos, making it costly. The house itself may not have held up well over the years due to lack of maintenance, and a lot of them have been broken into and stripped of electrical wire. Also you have to back all the backtaxes due. All to live in a shitty neighborhood or section of Detroit.

They actually demolished all the abandoned homes in Detroit so your going to have to build from scratch.
I'll consider it if it comes with permanent work visa attached XD
