Danny it is not that 'walled' off... I have worked in that area for years and enjoyed lunch, dinner, summer concerts etc. in the Points often. Is it pure racism that people want to retain a lifestyle without the drama of frequent break-ins and car-jackings which are going on the other side of Alter with impunity daily?
Palmer Woods has blocked off some areas. I don't blame them. And there are more black people living in the Pointes who made a choice to leave Detroit. I don't judge people by default for their 'riches'.... it is relative to some extent. If the car-jacker chooses me for my particular 'riches', ala my nice used car and old laptop, where the difference? I am a victim too!!! Probably by the same perpetrator committing crimes the 'burbs'...
I know the GP police can be 'snarky' so I avoid contact with them, and they are strict about traffic enforcement thru those areas. The speed sign says 35 mph. They mean 34 mph!! A dead giveaway is someone speeding say 36 mph pulled over by the GP rollers. They don't know the strict traffic enforcement 'deal'... most eastsiders, or visitors over there know.
