  - If they tried charging just 9 then insurance would probably try to only pay 3. -- nm - Ender May 18, 15:36
  - I think that if you charge the insurance $9, they will pay even less. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 18, 15:36 2
    - But the practice signs an agreement with the insurer, right? - CovingtonCat May 18, 15:39 1
      - They do sign an agreement. And yes they know how much they will get. But still you need to maintain your prices. It is just something everyone does. - James Bond (aka Igor) May 18, 15:41

- Pretty much accurate. There's nothing wrong with the house that can't be fixed - scorpion May 18, 15:32 17

    - The program is specifically for blight houses that are not salvageable. - scorpion May 18, 15:50 14

        No. The answer is that your townhouse isn't a structure of possible significant historical value or age. Unlike the Romney house that has value from - scorpion May 18, 16:17 10
        
        I'm okay with leaving it up to the citizens and elected officials of Michigan to decide its value. -- nm - mara May 18, 16:25 9
        
        based on the google street view of it, it definitely qualifies as a blight -- nm - Beryllium May 18, 16:31 5
