no that is incorrect. while thety have their challenges -most metro areas do and many other cities are far worse in regards to education and poverty. i think detroit gets a bad reputation based on some past history. i grew up around detroit and it was always a treat to go into the city. as for the person saying you can't dirve.... get a clue.... single female, who can turn a head or two, w ho would drive AND walk trough detroits downtwon areas on her own to join up with friends or just walk around town when i needed a break from work!

I don't think it's true....I had experienced worst cities than Detroit. But, Detroit really could be better and nicer...

not true...
I lived there for some time in the past, and while it is a rough town, I can honostly say I felt safer there, by far, than when in East LA. Detroit is a beautiful city on the river, has some neighborhoods you want to avoid, but is not nearly as rough as some towns. The northern suburbs are okay.
I wouldn't say Detroit is the worst city to live in, but there are parts of it I won't even go in and I've lived in Detroit all my life. There is crime, and there are uneducated people; as with anywhere. But to be frank, if I had a choice I wouldn't move here. It's rare to see people that actually finish college and even more rare to find people that want to go. Jobs are scarce and that has an effect on the crime rate. I am not afraid to live here, there aren't many crimes like murders ...basically theft and drugs. Detroit isn't a scary place, it definitely has potential and gets bashed more than it should.
Yes, it is really bad.
there are many different ways to figure this question, first of all dont forget if you are measuring crime it definitley is not the WORST city in the world, also dont forget detroit is a city of industry where vehicles and such are made that support our economy. the worst large city per crime capita in the US is Tuscon arizona, they have a large property crime rate (but a low murder rate). New orleans has the worst violence crime rate. overall the most dangerous city in the US is ST. Louis, MI
