What does the rest of the world think of Detroit?
Lonely in here... out of interest, those of you who have not visited Detroit, what is your perception? Do you believe that as soon as you land at Metro, you will be shot and robbed?
Or those that have visited the area (inc the burbs), did your expectations hold true?
There are a lot of misconceptions (and granted, a lot of truths) out there...

Scotland - I know absolutely nothing about Detroit except they used to make a lot of cars there - maybe they still do?
I have seen it on the Animal Planet on Sky with the Humane Society (I think that's what's it's called) rescuing animals. Some of the housing areas they have to go to look very rough and there seems to be a lot of pit bull type dogs.
I've no doubt there are nicer areas as well - I hope so.

i do no longer help conspiracy theories yet i do no longer consume BS the two. you won't manage to confirm this occasion with the WTC. The overpass became into concrete with a steel mesh shape. The WTC became right into a steel physique shape. The gasoline interior the I-35 became into maximum possibly automobile gas, interior the WTC case it became into jet gasoline. Jet gasoline is lighter and burns at a decrease temperature. interior the I-35 the entire overpass became into in flames, interior the WTC under 10% of the form became into in flames. The concrete at extreme temperatures accelerated and cracked with the aid of fact the joints have been no longer able to maintain up with it, they're designed to take the primary advance of a warm sunny day and a few greater. attempt to get pictures of the aftermath (i've got seen different circumstances like this one) and you will see that the steel mesh is bent with the aid of autumn yet you will no longer locate aspects of it melted. The overpass is supported via itself, if the concrete cracks there is no thank you to maintain it staggering in mid air. The WTC section that became into on hearth became into supported via greater advantageous than 80 % of the development that wasn't even on the component of water boiling component. i will save going on, there is no thank you to confirm the two activities. i'm no longer asserting that the conspiracy theories are real however that's a actuality that the government's record of the form is a steaming pile of livestock excretions.

I first learned Detroit was a hellhole when I watched Robocop in the Caribbean. Then, for some reason, my family moved near there. Don't ask why, we regretted it.

I think that with its current city government, it is unsalvageable. When will you get rid of that troop of howler monkeys known as the City Council?
