Detroit News poll: Crime drives Detroiters out; 40% expect to leave in 5 years

Communal living helps me to stay in the city for just that reason. If you are alone it's getting harder to live in a single dwelling property in Detroit. In my setting there are people about most of time and neighbors in another section of the property; pit bulls in the yard, pheasants, an occasional stray cat, rabbits too!

Don't do Detroit alone... too many robberies, with some scenarios of the thieves [[that new neighborhood 'watch') WATCHING you trudge off to work to then break-in or worse a home invasion when you are in your home 'alone'...

Add to all the other fears is the constant fear of most women that they will be raped during a break-in or a car-jacking. That fear is always with you and adds exponentially to the general unease...
