I'm mostly talking about neighborhoods here, not amenities like art museums, stadiums, downtowns, etc.
I'll say again that I don't know a lot about Detroit. But, from what I've seen in articles and photos, Detroit's best neighborhoods have more grandeur than Youngstown's best. (scale plays a factor here) But, on the flip side, Detroit's worst areas are far worse than anything I've seen in Youngstown.

If you're really interested, both cities are pretty well covered by Google street view. So, for the comparison you're asking for, you can take a virtual road trip, and see for yourself.

Hmmm, such a hard decision. There are very comparable major cities. 5.7 million vs 500,000. I have nothing against Youngstown and I wish it the best, but I'm going to have to go with Detroit.
