Sure Detroit has problems, but we're not alone, although these maps don't include shootings, I assure you gunfire happens in these cities too - granted, not to the extent that it happens in Detroit, but it does happen. Two years in the city and I've yet to hear a shot - so there are some safe areas in the city.

I knew my post would draw these kind of comments - I was very clear in my post to acknowledge the issues in Detroit: "Sure Detroit has problems" and "granted, not to the extent that it happens in Detroit". Does this sound like a person that thinks everything is rainbows and unicorns?

So click your heels [[3x) and repeat - Crime only happens in Detroit, crime only happens in Detroit….

Here's the rub: most of the exciting, interesting and engaging places to live in the US have high property crime, homicide rates and an ineffective police force. i.e New Orleans, Memphis, Miami, Oakland, Baltimore etc. These are also culturally diverse places dealing with uncaring or unprofessional local government and crushing poverty in many cases. If you are in need of a constant feeling of security, there are thousands of places to live. You just may go mad from boredom.

i just moved here from Toronto after many visits and making sure it was for my family. I am beyond excited to get involved with my community and explore more than I have done thus far...
