Downtown Office Market Bests Southfield

[nain rouge]

In metro areas with healthy cores, the most valuable suburban markets are those closest to the urban core. Southfield and Dearborn and Warren should be the strongest suburban markets, not the weakest.

Yeah, well it doesn't help when people like you are slamming cities like Ferndale. You're part of the problem, man.

I don't think people are slamming cities like Ferndale because they have some personal vendetta against them.

But understandably, people realize that the ghetto/trailer trash culture that permeates South Warren, Hazel Park and Detroit are beginning to bleed into their adjacent cities [[such as Ferndale, Oak Park, Eastpointe, Harper Woods, etc.) , and decent/well-off people want to keep themselves and their families as far away from this as possible.

Granted, the aforementioned is merely a symptom of the bigger problems facing Metro Detroit [[that is poor planning in terms of infrastructure as well as economic development).

as someone house hunting in/around the woodward corridor i can tell you ferndale, royal oak berkely are not being permeated by any 'undesirables'. in fact they're priced out as these communities have reinvigorated their downtowns and homes are bought and torn down for mcmansion infill. and what nice exisiting stock available is snapped up quickly or flipped by contractors.

Yeah, as a Ferndale resident and homeowner, I have absolutely no idea where the notion that Ferndale is declining or being invaded by "ghetto and trailer trash culture" is coming from. It's now appeared in multiple threads here, and it makes absolutely no sense.

If anything, Ferndale is going in the opposite direction - becoming more yuppified and less hipster. There are tons of babies and small children here, and home prices are shooting up.
