Worse than Port Au Prince or Monrovia..and Bing blames the media...

They're "safe areas" because my area isn't safe. My tax dollars are being spent on keeping Gilbert's and Ilitch's areas safe. THAT'S the issue people are having, and why all the "negativity". People flaunt on this site "I live in a safe area", while the rest of us, daily, have to fend for ourselves. When someone points that out, they're called a troll. When the buffer zone starts to collapse, then maybe people here will realize it's their problem too. Have a latte in the green zone.

Okay. But way out of scope, I know I didn't address that. Scope of the OP was "Does Dan Gilbert mentioned this to his employees?"

My response was that most of his city employees live in safe areas, the implication being that he doesn't need to mention it.

The "why" of those areas being safe is a whole 'nother issue. Not sure why you brought it up here, given that there are lots of threads on that.

I brought it up because anytime someone points out real issues with Detroit, they get chastized for negativity. You're the one chastizing the poster, you're the one that keeps repeating "safe areas". There's a whole 'NOTHER 7 page thread about the glories BWW in Detroit, so I guess we're even.
