Ferguson home values have plummeted almost 50 percent since Michael Brown’s death.
From the article:
The average selling price of a home in the city has been on a steady decline since the shooting of Brown last August, according to housing data compiled from MARIS, an information and statistics service for real estate agents. Prior to Brown’s death, the average home sold in 2014 was selling for $66,764. For the last three and a half months of the year, the average home sold for $36,168, a 46 percent decrease.
Eric Holder, Al Sharpton and all the others were not available for comment.
Now that last line may be harsh on my part but if you look at the whole Ferguson fiasco, from well before the shooting of Michael Brown through to today, you can not demonstrate how government is helping the citizens of that town.
Government seems to be actively hostile to people that are on the lower end of the wealth and income scale.
