You would rather be Shot than live in Indianapolis?
Detroit i couldnt disagree with.
But Indy?
Again Indy is the fastest growing city/metro in the midwest. Detroit is losing population both in its metro and city.
So theres a MAJOR desirability difference there
Flyover states do nothing for me, especially cold ones.
I'm still surprised at the extreme stereotypes people have of the 4.5 million people living in metro Detroit because of what they see in the central areas of the city that have basically been abandoned by people. Over 85% of the people live removed from the ghetto areas of the city, and the suburbs are actually quite nice compared to many burbs around the country. I've been through Detroit area many times and it's pretty attractive overall.
It's a strange city in that most everything moved out to the burbs and left much of the central area to rot, but the quality of life for individuals in the metro is still nice. It's just not typical. As far as cost of living, it's a huge steal.
