Detroit is confusing. There are multiple separate municipalities that exist next to or within Detroit - Royal Oak, Southfield, etc. which are acceptable to q1uite nice, but I think these are not part of Detroit proper.
Some areas within Detroit look like the shelled villages and towns of Belgium during WWI. I don’t know the details, the article spelled out an attempt to move people (voluntarily) out of the wasteland areas into better parts of Detroit.
Perhaps some Michigan FReeper can help explain it.
That's a really good question.
Ha, probably!
I lived in Gary, IN for awhile. It’s similar to Detroit.
I was lucky that the only crime that happened to me was that a car was stolen.
I’m glad to be out.

Are those sections paying taxes to the City of Detroit?
Top Cities Detroit Residents should move to:
1) Berkley
2) Cambridge
3) Malibu
4) San Fransisco
5) Hollywood
6) Du Pont Circle DC
7) Upper West Side Manhattan
8) Ithaca NY
9) Portland Oregon
10) Seattle
Since these are notorious open minded and progressive cities, let the lefties ‘invite’ the poor,exploited or oppressed folks of Detroit to live in THEIR neighborhoods.

Perhaps even into their own homes. Since they pretend to be so concerned.
Downtown isn't bad. Palmer Woods/Palmer Park (Where Conyers lives), Rosedale Park, Indian Village area, and Boston Edison are upper income areas. I'll gaurantee that they aren't moving the relocation's there.
There aren't a lot of good working class areas there anymore. Some areas were always rough, but even Parkland has gone way downhill in the past 10 years.
The real estate crash is changing things rapidly. I can get a house in Southfield and Redford for under 25K
My recommendation to those moving to Southeast Michigan. Stay North of 14 mile or West of Haggerty. Detroit's spreading out.
Time for another reposting for the forum on “what the h-ll happened to Detroit”:

I can’t remember which person on CNBC (or FOX?) said it, but at one
time Detroit had the highest average income of any city in the USA.
How the mighty have fallen.
And I take NO glee in that as it’s in my country.
Detroit is fascinating, really. It remains the great untold story, a great scandal far worse than Katrina, and totally mad-made at that.
You’re referring to Hurricane Coleman?
I don’t know - I just pass through from time to time.

Amen and amen!
Too many people that move out of California, Michigan, etc. often bring their
political and economic pathologies with them.
And are itching to inflict them on people in places like Texas, Oklahoma, etc.
It started even before Coleman. Jerome Cavanagh started the “progressive” run of mayors there. The riots happened on whitey’s watch. Coleman came afterward and finished the job.
A friend and I have been saying this for years.I’ve listened to people in the Bay Area(Ca)running to places like Idaho,Montana,Texas,Wyoming even Nebraska,because of the quality of life which has declined(crime,housing ect..) in this area.These are the same ones that caused the decline,with their liberal politics, and now they are off to pollute the other states.
Can’t we just give Detroit to Canada?
“You put a bad neighborhood into another bad neighborhood and the violence just escalates,” said Deonte Ricks, her 25-year-old son, a home security salesman. “If you put bad-behaving people in a good neighborhood, they have no choice but to adapt to the environment.”
