Reasons to live in Detroit

[wolverine]

The flip side of a shrinking Big Metro Area is that some problems shrink, too.
Like big city culture. Cultural attractions that require advance commitments and plans in other cities are a snap here. Whether you want to snag seats for an opera, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, a visiting ballet company or an NFL football game, you can almost always see it here without using bonus dollars or extra sweat.
You can see a Tigers game this weekend. Tell that to your brother in Boston. And the traffic? You can commute downtown in 20 minutes from 20 miles away -- choose the direction. My brother in Los Angeles can't imagine that.

I bet the brother in Los Angeles, can't imagine someone going to football games, orchestras, and art museums everyday....365 days a year. So yeah, a lousy justification. How about the majority of housing units no more than a 5 minute walk from a grocery store? Can I get that?
