The decrepit condition of an east Detroit home owned by Michigan Rep. John Conyers' family reportedly has driven up the insurance rate for at least one of the neighbors.Yep. The Democrats are really looking out for the little guy, aren't they? Read the lineage of the house: Conyers' mother signed the house over to him, he signed it to his wife, she signed it to her mother (after she went to jail). It doesn't appear that anyone is caring for the property, which begs the question of why the Conyers are holding onto it. It seems the only person affected is the neighbor with the tripled homeowner's insurance rates thanks to Conyers' eyesore.
According to MyFoxDetroit, one neighbor claimed her annual homeowners insurance rose from $1,700 to $7,000.
Wonder who the neighbor will be voting for in 2012?
That is all.

At least he nominally owns a house in the region he represents. (Unlike Indiana's Senator Lugar.)
Now, isn't his Congressional salary enough for him to afford a caretaker?
I'd have a cadaver dog search that house from ridge pole to slab.
I can understand that the resale value of the neighbours house might fall, but I can't see a reason for the insurance to quadruple.
Franck, the pictures I've seen show the house to have a weed-infested yard and the place looks abandoned. I wonder if the insurance companies look at it as a derelict-magnet and structure fire waiting to happen. That would tend to attract crime to the neighborhood, thus higher rates for everyone else.
