That is a crazy read. I have felt the same way about Detroit for a long time though. I love the downtown, but the rest of the place is scary. I think that what has happened is that for kids growing up in Detroit for the past 20 or 30 years, they have turned into a new breed of criminal. Yea, you can find some good ones, but there are too many people in Detroit with no conscience. Too many criminal sociopaths. And the city is owned by them. Don't kid yourself. You are either just off their radar, or smart enough to stay out of their way. Remember those guys in court laughing after they got two year jail sentences for kicking a guy into a coma who stopped for a car accident? That is the modern Detroiter. No remorse.
So yea, do like I do, get a place in Grosse Pointe. In 15 minutes you can be walking around downtown. And in 15 minutes, you can be safe in your highly policed suburb. The worst thing cops in my city do is make fun of handicap people on video. Yea, that is fucked up too, but at least I know they aren't going to be loading up all my stuff when I head out of town. And do not fuck around in my city either. We get a weekly crime report, and our cops routinely enter Detroit to bust people who rob Grosse Pointers. They are quite good at it.
