I have yet to come across a section of Detroit where I feel unsafe or scared or concerned for my life.

If you do find such an area - do let me know.

Default Detroit fun

Downtown is safe! Love it there. Just keep your eyes and ears open and look about you when outside for opportunists. Generally police are present more during the day. There's lots to do and see there. My favorite places are on Monroe street, good food, sports arena's and casino and Woodward, for comedy club Fox Theater. Can move about the downtown on the monorail it's fantastic!

That's a huge claim, and quite contradictory to what outside world views about Detroit. Let's hope it will be exactly as you described. Thanks!

Bruh you wouldn't last a week in the hood I'm from. The REAL hood not downtown or the suburbs. So miss me with that. The fact is as "animatedmartian" said, what your saying has almost nothing to do with the OP. And as usual, your not helping one bit. But just trying to scare people away.

Considering I live and work in Detroit - I'm allowed to make such a claim.

Just because people from the outside world make contradictory claims, doesn't make them true.

Every single block in Midtown and Downtown is now under 24/7 survelliance by either Wayne State Police or Dan Gilbert. There's NOTHING to fear.

That's what I've been saying all along, cities like Detroit or Flint are not suitable for people from the civilized world. Thanks for confirming this. Would you mind elaborating on this? Seems really interesting the stories from the real hood.

Well, downtown is an island of relative safety surrounded by crime and blight. The only safe way in or out would be through Canada. Still not very appealing to me but to each his own.

Isn't this an oxymoron? Like saying I am from the government, I am here to help?

No I said that because of the way you act here on CD. The crap you say on this board is far from "civilized", more like "Trollworld". I'm just going to pretend your not trolling for a second. Just look at the last part of your post, your afraid of your own damn shadow. The chances of you being the victim of a crime just from driving to/from downtown to/from the suburbs, you literally have a better chance of getting into a car accident. Lol grow some balls man your scarier than a little girl, screw the hood, a suburban teenager will probably even try you. If you mind your business you will be fine (that's why I said a week and not a day). But knowing you, it would only take a week for you to open up that mouth of yours and spew your nonsense, and the moment you do, the word will spread like wildfire about a clown that just moved to the neighborhood. Assuming they even take you seriously, you will have a huge target on your back that you painted on yourself just from saying the stuff you do. Most people in my old neighborhood and Detroit period are civilized and decent people, of course you wouldn't know that because you've never even been to the city. But there is a difference between a person acting civilized and a person acting like a soft little bit*h about everything.

I'll stay away from the hood but thanks for your concern. I know how easy it is to accidentally drive into one, it happened to me in several American cities. So, I'd rather still not live anywhere near any real hoods and wouldn't advice anyone to do so either.
