With 14 deaths being linked by Chicago authorities to heroin laced with fentanyl in a two-day period last week, the nationwide death toll in a wave of ODs tied to the powerful synthetic opiate continues to rise. Although precise figures are hard to come by, Chicago authorities believe 75 people have died of the lethal combination there this year, while in Detroit, authorities put the number at more than 130 dead since last fall, including 33 in the past few weeks.
once again, there aren't that many users here anymore. I don't know about Chicago. Detroiters who use heroin are usually older who have been around since the era started. young black-even people in their 40s don't use heroin. Its hard to find someone under 50 who is a user and basically impossible to find a user in their 20s or younger. Now if we talking Metro, maybe. Most of the people going to heroin houses in the city to cop are white suburbanites
Suburbs: Detroit has the nicer suburbs, easily. Some of Chicago's suburbs are ****.
Yes, a portion of Chicagos suburbs are ****. (Many of the suburbs east of I-57 through NW Indiana are like Detroit itself.
But the rest of the suburbs are more or less the equivalent of Detroit's except that the suburban amenities are more spread out in Chicagoland than Detroits Oakland County.
Although Chicagos suburbs have great downtown, they really are not as happenin' as Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Ferndale. Even Evanston and Oark Park, might even by just shy of the vibrancy there.
To have Birmingham, Ferndale, Royal Oak, Cranbrook in Bloomfield, Somerset in Troy, the Zoo there . . . its pretty concentrated and special. Plus when you throw in Ann Arbor, the metro area as a whole is pretty world class, even though Detroit proper is a shell of its former self.

Yeah, Southern Oakland County could easily be a major city by itself (wouldn't really be much different than Phoenix or some other spread-out city). We used to always joke that Macomb County (where I grew up) was really a suburb of Oakland and not Detroit and in a certain sense, this is true... I think I read somewhere that more people commute from Macomb to Oakland than they do to downtown Detroit.
I dig Chicago, but Detroit has more upward potential. It's easy to get in at the ground level in Detroit, not so much in Chicago. I'm not saying Chicago has peaked, but Detroit has new urban boomtown potential.
