Send a few of those homes to DC, 500 sq. ft. apts. are going for upwards of $300K here.

I love the The Kentucky Fried Movie. I don't understand the connection to this post but the reference was obscure.

"These are the Hartz Mountains of Asia. A terrain so rugged, so treacherous, no country will claim it."

"Worse then Detroit?"

"I'm afraid so."

Dr. Klahn: "Ahhh, and what have you told your friends in the CIA? Hm?"

CIA Agent: "You'll get nothing from me, you filthy, cowardly bastard! Go on, torture me! Do your worst! I'll never crack!"

Dr. Klahn: (Pause) "Take him to...Detroit."

CIA Agent: "NOOOOOO! I'll tell you everything!"

The sad thing is the movie is almost 30 years old and the Detroit joke has been relevent that whole time. Yikes.

Actually the CIA dude says, "You can't scare me, you slant-eyed yellow bastard."

The CIA was much less culturally sensitive back then.

Detroit is profoundly bad. I did buy a Detroit T-Shirt the last time I was there, just so as to remind myself where not to live.

Although, given the choice between the $500,000 starter home housing market* here in the Bay Area, and the Detroit housing market, Detroit starts looking pretty rosy.

Except for the whole Detroit part.

* This is not an exaggeration. It's a fact.

It's funny that I recall a lot of lines from that movie but totally spaced on the whole Detroit thing. But then again, it's been so long since I saw either KFM or Enter the Dragon that my mind intwines the real thing and the parody.
