I'm 44 and single and just moved into Lafayette Park last weekend from Ypsilanti. So far so good. I can throw a rock and hit the Greektown Casino.
For me, the benefits of living here outweigh the crime statistics for the immediate area.
It takes more guys like us to move into the city to start making it better. Not just living here, but paying taxes, getting hair cuts, doctors, dentists, gas stations etc. I plan on buying in the city first if what I need is available.
Next is to find a job down here so I'll eliminate my commute completely. Even now I went from 40 minutes down to 13.
