Apparently the ranking is based on these factors: stability (what stability? Massive population loss, plumetting home values, soaring unemployment), health care, education (I haven't heard anything good about Detroit city schools), infrastructure (what's left of it) and (thug) culture and environment (rampant crime? blight? abandonment?).
So, how much did Detroit pay The Economist to be ranked 7th best city in the US? Wouldn't even Cleveland make more sense than Detroit?
I'm not saying Detroit doesn't have potential.
I'm glad to hear something positive about Detroit. Good for them.
There are plenty of those type of neighborhoods, upper and upper middle and middle class: West-those you named, East-The villages (Indian, West, Joseph Berry, Gold Coast), Northend-Boston Edison, Alden Park, Grixdale etc and PLENTY of intact regular, working neighborhoods. It urks me that everybody really think we are all living in urban praries smh
I mean honestly I have no problem with people showing the hood but urban praries as the only image gets annoying. We have areas that are the hood but still most of the homes are occupied and standing
Okay Detroit is not among the best cities and yes it's true that the area is not desirable just look at the population decline and crime. Also inner Detroit makes up nearly 1/5 of the metro population.
Yes the super bowl commercial was nice but it cleary showed that detroit has/ had potential and currently depressed. When I think of Detroit I do not hear bells.
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!
