YAY! We're 2nd to last now!
Somehow "2nd to last" doesn't seem to have quite the same distinction as Dead-ass last.
As for Michigan our problem is pretty straight-forward: People are leaving because there are not enough new jobs here to replace those lost in the auto industry.
Houses are not selling because there is no one to buy them. There are about 5 in our neighborhood that have been for sale for at least 6 months. Even though the prices are low compared to other states, there just aren't many buyers.
