Why do people think Detroit city is so bad? |
Travel Info Detroit eastside born and raised. Travel Tips People are ignorant. The people who dog on the D most likely have never been there. How many times does it have to be said...all big cities have crime! I am a transplant from Indiana and love it here. Talk about culture shock! But it is all what you make of it. Stereotypes are hard to break. The people who live in Detroit seem to be proud of the city and are really trying to revitalize it. Long live the D!!!! Others Maybe the murder rate, the gang activity, the muggings, the lousy weather. Maybe they contribute to it. I'm not sure. Maybe because it's dirty and has a high crime rate and that all you hear about is trash. The only thing good I've associated with Detroit is the movie Detroit Rock City. I would never go there, even for $$. Ok, Im from Canada and I get a detroit channel. EVERY time I watch the news, somebody just got killed or something like that. so heres my answer... Its the media. Im really sure that Detroit isnt half as bad as the media makes it out to be. I've never been to Detroit so I can't knock it. I know that Detroit has a reputation for crime. Whether that is true or not, I think it is a conventional wisdom. Also, I recently read an article about the dismal real estate situation there. It say that property values are dropping through the floor due to foreclosures and there is a very high unemployment rate. Buy hey, I'm sure there's great things about Detroit. It's the hometown of Motown and Robocop - what more can you want? Because they've either been there or they haven't. I have a Cyber Survey by the Detroit News from Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick recent State of the City response. You can read responses from people all over the United States and the world and what they think about Detroit. http://info.detnews.com/feedback/letters... |
