[quote=harvey]Detroit, the city, is a hopeless wasteland.

Some of the suburban areas like Rochester Hills are quite nice.

Much of the rust belt follows the same pattern – white flight and all that. Detroit seems to represent the extreme of this phenomenon.

LOL, Trump is going to singlehandedly fix this:

I agree, when I was growing up places like Rochester Hills, Bloomfield Hills, Grosse Pointe, and Farmington were places where people wanted to live. Things have somewhat changed since then. The downtown Detroit area is changing and many Millennials are now moving into renovated high rises downtown to enjoy the history, proximity to work and sense of community. To be honest, at first I was shocked and worried about my sister’s safety when she told me she moved downtown, but after visiting I now understand what the draw is.
