Food prices are already unaffordable for many Detroiters, and the issue is likely to get worse. So we set out with @detdocumenters.bsky.social to find the cheapest groceries in Detroit. Follow along to see what we found ⬇️ outliermedia.org/detroit-groc...

Earlier this year, crypto real estate company RealT got more than $100,000 in digital tokens for a home on Detroit’s eastside. Now, somebody else is selling it.

It’s one of five cases where properties RealT “sold” to investors were subsequently listed on the traditional real estate market.
RealT homes are being sold by other companies. What do investors own?

It's the end of an era 😢 — but our work continues!
On April 18, 2016, Sarah Alvarez launched Outlier Media with one goal: give Detroiters the info they need to meet challenges and thrive.

Now, as Sarah wraps up her time at Outlier, we sat down with her to reflect on what’s changed, what’s stayed true and what’s next.

As a result, Treasurer Eric Sabree said the deadline to claim tax auction profits and pay tax debts has been extended to April 8. More info to come.
DETROIT!!

Today is the deadline to reclaim auction profits from Wayne County. Folks are owed an average of $8,000. Remember, your form has to be notarized, so plan time to do that.

Still sitting with this: As a billionaire developer demands $250M in public funds to demolish a pair of privately-owned, shiny 39-story towers, two homeless children several blocks away freeze to death in a casino parking lot.
