Wow, judge much!?! "Not blaming the victim" - seriously, yes, you are.

A lot of the people who stay there are there for many reasons: lost home to foreclosure/fire/eviction/etc, recent divorce/breakups, somewhere cheap & quick to move into when you're in a pinch, month-to-month leases, etc. Don't judge others unless you've been in someone's place.

In my case, I had lived in the Greektown Lofts & loved the place. I thought the Grand Lofts would be the same. I was wrong! I lived there for 3-4 months in early 2009 and then moved. None of my neighbors stayed for more than 6 months at the Grand Lofts.

The Greektown Lofts are probably the best of the lot. I would live there again if I lived in Detroit.
