Downtown Detroit Condo

I think I might go look at a condo or two in Downtown Detroit. I heard a rumor, and it may be just be a rumor, that people buying new residences in Detroit are getting out of paying the city tax for a few years. That is my major hold up about the city. When I lived at my parents it use to piss me off no end that the city was taking money out of my check each week and didn't do anything with the money. No snow removal, no nice park, no safety......NOT A DAMN THING. But if I can live in Detroit and not pay for the lack of resources it wouldn't be as bad. I wouldn't want to stay in the suburbs and spoil myself.
