a city ready to bounce back why well many things downtown detroit for example Campus martius(a rockfeller like park)with ice rink , a newly constructed nearly 2+miles long riverfront. a new ballpark a new football stadium Superbowl 40 will be in detroit Mlb all star game will be held summer 2005 NCAA mens basketball final four in 2009 dozens of new york style lofts being build in downtown and around. Compuware moved its headquarters to detroit build a 20+ story bulding with a borders book store and hardrock cafe 3 casinos now approved to stay permanetly greektown casino, motorcity casino,greektown casino, many areas of detroit are becoming safer and house values are reaching $100,000 a house examples include Southwest side of Detroit,Corktown,MexicanTown and more areas so Detroit is Changing slowly but for the better hopefully we will soon have a better mayor to fully rebuilt this city.if people are really scared of detroit then why do millons of peple come each year to hart plaza for events like the hoedown(country music festival)Fuse-In(Techno Music Fest)Freedom Fireworks(nations premier fireworks specticle )Thanksgiving day parade)(500,000plus).Detroit is known to many as the least diverse area in country 80% afrrican-american SOUTHWEST Side of detroit host the largest population of Hispanic/latinos in Michigan. not only that southwest side of detroit has the only area in city where population is actually increasing rather than decreasing also detroit has one the highest concentration of mideastern immigrants in the us with that said the city looks like it will be someday in my estimates 10-20 years from now very diverse detroit .

Hell's corporate headquarters

Where corporate HQs like Comerica move to better places in the SunBelt.

Gunbelt.

Where people don't live anymore.

Where urban revitalization is not.

The single-worst city in the country.

A population loss of over 50% in 5 decades. Current population of about 850,000 from 1.6 million and not even in the top 10 largest US cities anymore.

Where jobs are not.

Anything south of 8 Mile Road where you turn around as you approach the city limits.

A place called Flint is even better.

Where the first state government moved out over 100 years ago.

Even San Jose, CA now has a larger population.

The opposite of San Diego and Seattle.
urban blight

rampant homicide

hell

revitalization is a joke

The absolute WORST place for a single person to develop a serious relationship unless you like:

1.) Trash
2.) Ghetto type materialistic hoes
3.) Single Parent Drama
4.) Sex without commitment
5.) to chase child support payments
6.) settling for less

If you have no fresh ride, no credit, or no good job, the top 5 listed above is what you will run into frequently in the D-E-T. I love my hometown, but it is the truth.
Not only is Detroit the Baby Moma Capitol, it was also the STD capitol of 2004.

Thee home of Rock and Roll! The greatest city, ever. Everyone who tries to bring it down can burn in hell. We're supposed to be bigger than Gaycago. The home of the best cars in the world, Detroit Muscle cars. Home of the greatest hockey team, the Detroit Red Wings! Home of the greatest company: GM! Home of the greatest morning show, Drew and Mike. Home of Carhartt, the best pop ever, Faygo, and the greatest potato chips, ever, Better Made.
There aint no party like a Detroit party cos a Detroit don't stop! BIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!
