Detroit Negative Connotation

[Richard]

Name recognition is a powerful marketing tool if you mention Detroit, outside, the first impulse on ones mind is the big three and they are not going to waste time trying to relate where the actual suburb or section is in relation to Detroit.

That is if one is going nationally or internationally.

Most outsiders are so wrapped up in their own little realm that they really do not have a clue of what is going on in Detroit , Keep it simple IMHO

It is probably a good thing of having people not wanting to invest in a certain area to an extent it keeps the door open for those that do and does not artificially inflate land values etc. so the ones that do invest are more stable.Investing is a numbers game anyways,if you open up on top of a water tower with 5 sqft but can show a high return on investment who cares. Speculation is entirely different.
