I live in the Metro and every gas station has bulletproof glass, most neighborhoods you don't want to stop at red lights, and there are biker gang members everywhere. Right before you enter the actual city there are a ton of chicken/black people restaurants in the ghetto where nobody even stops at red lights.

yes, and how can we solve that? by moving to detroit and 1) providing a larger tax base and 2) living a crime-free life. if everyone from the suburbs did what i've done detroit would be a great city once again. also, homes here are five grand a pop, i can't pass that up.

I live in north of Detroit and I have met few people who weren't involved in some kind of criminal activity. This involves mostly selling stolen electronics and slinging hardcore dope (or buying it and ODing on it, forcing me to call 911 to prevent their death). I live with people who attract those sorts, but there is no shortness of them, either.

I have definitely been in some STALKER tier neighborhoods where all I can see is broken glass and shady motherfuckers where I actually felt like I was about to be robbed at any moment.

My father almost laughed himself hoarse after selling our home in the city which he bought for what would be considered a pittance today for a substantial amount of money. He then took that money and bought himself a home three times the size in another state with lower property taxes and cost of living.
