I'm not going to lie and say we weren't mulling a move, especially with work from home and our house being worth a lot more than we paid, but honestly the final straw was all the litter. We pick up litter and trash every single Saturday from sunrise until at least 11am throughout the neighborhood. Not even a day or two later, you can't even tell we just removed several Hefty bags full of trash. It's just so freakin' demoralizing. I can't stand the filth, I can't stand trifling people who litter at a bus stop when there's a trash can next to them, or throw bottles and soiled diapers out of their car when they drive by, or even neighbors who we witness dump out fast food bags and McDonald's cups when they park their cars. I'm sorry, it is not like this everywhere. Litter actually isn't this bad anywhere else. And local government does not care. So we're leaving. Goodbye Detroit.
