Don't places like Dearborn and Warren actually function as a buffer against crime trying to spread from Detroit and are for that reason exactly not very attractive? I know I wouldn't want to live in the first line of defense.

Dearborn is next to one of Detroits better neighborhoods, Warrendale. I was born there. It's on the downslide but compared to the east side it's fine. There is no significant Detroit crime spillover outside the mall.


Also I saw your location was in Europe and looked through some posts of yours, why are you so obsessed with hating on a foreign city? Why post on this forum at all? There is a lot of anti-American/anti-Detroit stuff in your posts. If you hate my country so much why do you even bother? Just go hang out in "superior" Holland.

Yes, finally someone but me sees this sh*t. He can't be any older than a early-mid teen but the little fu*ker is entertaining for sure. If I'm bored enough I just look through some of his post, grab a snack and a drink and watch him argue with posters from America about how bad American cities are. The post he made on the Baltimore forum was pretty funny btw. Not long ago he was trying to discourage a transplant from coming by showing street view shots of Delray to show him "how he will be living" in Metro Detroit. Although he lives across the world and admitted he's never been to the D. I think he's bored and wants some attention, and secretly loves America as well. Either that or he lives in the US and is just a troll.

BTW both Dearborn and Warren has average crime rates according to CD.

Yeah, believe it or not, he's also been going into the Canadian threads for months to trash the US (not just Detroit). The Canadians got pretty sick of it, too, because the guy just doesn't give up. He's even resorted to using aliases, which a regular poster in the Canadian threads managed to ascertain.

As to sharia, a lot of the unofficial business is carried out according to it. I know a lot of muslims (my dad who was one) and you have to be on the IN to really see how these corners are cut. Of course, it's not the law of dearborn that'd be illegal But there are families who live more or less the same as they'd do in a muslim country.
this is exactly true
You mention sharia law and people think women being stoned to death or beheadings...that's NOT what is happening obviously...I know a few Dearborn cops and there is definite sharia influence in this city

As long as your cities like Detroit, Baltimore, or New Orleans have large areas with third world living conditions and violent crime rates, you'd better be prepared to take some heat. Hiding in the suburbs, pretending the problems in your cities don't exist and ridiculing those who speak openly about it is not a solution at all.

I like your location, 'The city you love to hate' . I don't hate Detroit or the rest of your country btw. The enormous scale of decay, the over the top crime rates and the overall craziness like people dumping boats all over the city, in the middle of the streets far from any water, is what has drawn my attention to Detroit. Everything has gotten so much out of control, it's just fascinating. It's like watching a Charles Bronson movie or playing a post apocalyptic video game.

Who said anything about not pretending these issues don't exist? The fact is many of these exists don't directly affect most people who don't live in the crime ridden neighborhoods. The people who are most affected by those issues are the ones making the effort to solve them. Constantly pointing out the issues on the internet does absolutely nothing and you don't have any indication on what's going on in real time and even only choose to look at a certain fixed view that doesn't take in the whole situation. You don't accomplish anything by speaking openly about because action speaks louder than words and I know damn well you aren't going to come to any of these cities and even attempt to do anything positive so you're pretty much nothing but a troll.

Yeah, you've said this before. So, you find the urban decay and violence entertaining, but you like to consider yourself superior in some way. Got it.

There's a word for folks who take glee in the suffering of others: sociopath.

If anyone one has more valuable input on this thread TOPIC, feel free to PM me. I'm unsubscribing. Tired of getting notifications when it's just useless trolling and off topic arguing.
