I did a tour of Detroit back in 2011, shortly before one of their large house auctions all for unpaid property taxes. Some of these basically destroyed houses were being charge 400-600 a month in property tax. The city continuing to tax Detroit neighborhoods like this is one huge contributing factor to the decline of Detroit.

That's probably the tip of the iceberg of corruption and stupidity.
