And what exactly would a person with 2 small children do in Detroit if they weren't attending a sporting or cultural event? Riverwalk? Not every day and not from October thru April. Out to eat? Once in awhile but gets expensive with 2 small kids. Biking? Where? In the street? The Zoo is in the suburbs. The Auto Show? That's only once a year. Shopping for kids clothes? Suburbs. Movies? Ren Cen in 35 year old theaters or the suburbs? Dentist? Suburbs. Doctor? Detroit Receiving? Nope, suburbs. After school activities? Right. Will they be able to park their car in the street and still have it be there and in the same condition the next morning? Will they feel safe? What if they need EMS? Or the Police for that matter? In the suburbs they're at your door in 5 minutes. In Detroit you're lucky they show up at all. Maybe you should show them that map that was in the Free Press a week or so ago that showed where the 3300 murders took place over the last 10 years - looked VERY spread out throughout the entire city to me. No neighborhood was immune unless it was mostly abandoned like by the old Tiger Stadium area or Del Ray. Littering is everywhere. Homeless are everywhere.

So what is untrue and uninformed?
