Detroit is a solid place to live. Sorry y’all are poor


Definitely saw parts I wouldn't want to live in, but overall it was really cool. I could do downtown/corktown or some of the other places I don't remember the names of.

If we are including the burbs like Grosse Pointe (Woods) holy shite those are like Americana.

Youre projecting.

The most ardent white guilters are indeed the most racist, and project their impulses onto others.

They, at a minimum, have a white savior complex. They pretty much go around lecturing everyone on how non-white people can't make it on their own unless white people give up their "power" and possessions, yet they never offer their own.

St George, Louisiana. In my childhood Woodland Ridge was idyllic. Now sometimes people go 8 days without mowing their lawns and one dude doesn't even edge his lawn. Little Timmy even wears his hat backwards.

And not only do they choose not to do so, they will place blame on those with better socioeconomic status.

My Mother worked for IBM in Detroit when the auto industry was just beginning to use computers. She used to talk about how wonderful it was and how one of her friends parents had a home out in Gross Point.

SOmething like seventy year later, my husband and I drove down to Gross Point and I was glad my Mother didn't live to see what it has become.

Fify. If every non-black person immediately vanished from the planet, there is a large majority of the poverty level black population who would still blame something else for their failures.

Birmingham, Bloomfield hills, grosse pointe, etc are all very nice. Downtown is cool now too

I can’t help but laugh when I see BR, Shreveport, and Nola people shite on Detroit. Detroit’s suburbs are much much better than anything in la

They're the kind of people that get the shite kicked out of them because they convince themselves the nefarious character walking towards them isn't going to do them any harm and that they're racist if they think otherwise.

All dilapidated with weeds growing on the second floor.


I have no idea, but would imagine grosse point woods/park/farms... is one of the wealthiest zip codes in the nation.
