Even though most people in the hood are decent people, it's the bad apples that make it a undesirable place to live. Your own friend down the street could be the one who breaks in your house and robs you or steals your car.

But most hoods across America are similar, they have the same issues and problems for the most part. People in dangerous neighborhoods in Miami or LA or Atlanta have the same mentality as people in dangerous neighborhoods in Detroit. I would like to say it's something better we could do other then price people out of their own neighborhood or have a heavy police presence. But the reality is, all of those cities that "came back", that's the only thing they did was pushed them out to surrounding cities.

Agreed.
