Body found along Dequindre Cut

[iheartthed]

Given that there are no other major cities in Michigan, Detroit is both the safest and most dangerous major city in Michigan. Not sure what this has to do with anything.

I said nothing about major cities. Statistically speaking, Detroit is not the most dangerous city in Michigan. And if it ever was it probably hasn't been for a very long time.

I always find myself reading this thread so interesting,, I got back from my frequent ride/run/walk along the Cut, I live next door to it.. To accuse this area of being a crime haven, as some of our posters , who generally don't live anywhere near here.. is always laughable, Is Detroit dangerous at times? ofcourse parts of it is.. Is all of it all the time? No,,. youd be crazy to think that always.. Maybe Im just a lucky guy, but been downtown 23 years and not one incident yet and I am out all over daily,sometimes nightly, by foot. You have to use some common sense where and when you go to some areas and places,, But that is not rocket science, that goes for many, many places in our world. The Cut is a fabulous place, and about to get even better, unlike anything else anywhere in Metro.. Just met some kids from Royal Oak on it.. they said to me they love it and come down here often, wished they could"afford" to live downtown,, Now I'm not too sure I like that comment.. There should be room for everyone, as best as we can enable it.. but to get my point across,, Please stop trashing us all the time, our life here is really quite nice. We do not run around scared to death when we step out, there are tons of regular people of all types here,, and its growing monthly.and there is constantly tons of things to do, , sports, restaurants,, incomparable in metro cultural institutions, athletic facilities,, great markets , and a incredible riverfront. Hey was in Birmingham last Friday night,, very nice very affluent, but just not for me, far to much of everyone being a certain image type,, to each his/her own. You have to live where you are happiest.
