How many points is a u-turn ticket in Michigan? (Detroit?

Should I move to Detroit, Michigan USA?

  • I am very interested in moving to Detroit, Michigan USA with my family. My reasons for moving to Detroit is because my friend Henry tells me that that; 1. Detroit and Michigan has a Strong Economy and one of the best economies in the country. 2. Detroit has a low crime rate and is very safe at nighttime. 3. Detroit has excellent mass transportation like the transportation you would see in Chicago with buses and trians. 4. Detroit has excellent public schools with excellent education. 5. Detroit's goverment cares about the people of Detroit and Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick enjoy helping Detroit Residents. 6. Detroit has great entertainment in Downtown Detroit with lots of shopping, retail, and restaurants. 7. Detroit is a very clean city. What are some other advantages of living in Detroit, Michigan USA? Are there any disadvantages.

  • Answer:

    You should move to Detroit, but not for all of the reasons above. Right now, Detroit (and the whole state of MI) economy is in the toilet. But, the auto industry will rebound (it can't sink much lower), as evidenced by Ford's 1st profit in 2 yrs announced today. Detroit has a large base of available labor, which means that companies may move to snap up folks looking for work. The positive side of the slow economy is that you can get excellent housing for much less than you might pay in other areas. (for what I pay in Brooklyn, I could afford a mansion in Detroit) And, if you are a business owner, there is a ready and cheap pool of labor. Detroit does have a great tradition of music, arts, design and entertainment, not to mention sports. Motown and House Music are Detroit products, as are Madonna, Eminem, the White Stripes and Bob Seger. The Saarinens were based outside Detroit for decades, and the area also has important buildings from Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, Minoru Yamasaki and others, along with Diego Rivera's best fresco north of the Rio Grande. Unless you are a football fan, you can catch excellent sports with the Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers and Shock. (alas the Lions have sucked for decades) I believe that right now is an excellent time to invest in Detroit and to be sitting pretty when wannabes come in 10 years, struggling to make their place.

Very funny, in Georgia you will have the same problems, lets be honest Atlanta is the new Detroit of the south. Ford is posting profits eat our dust.

I think your friend is on drugs. Detroit has one of the worst economies in the country and housing is collapsing there almost faster than anywhere else other than California and Florida. Crime? WOW, Just wait! The US auto industry is in really bad shape despite Ford's blip. The Asians are just too strong on producing what people need. Good luck.

You need to stay in Georgia because the job industry here especially automotive is down right now. Almost everything he said is just the opposite.

The advice your friend Henry gave to you is not true. First, Michigan has a very weak economy and there are Detroit's economy is in horrible condition. Second, Detroit is the most dangerous city in Michigan. Third, Mass Transportation, what Mass Transportation. The only mass transportation Detroit has as the automobiles people drive that eat up your cash. Fourth, if Detroit has excellent schools, why did Detroit Public Schools have to close so many schools in 2007? Fifth, If Detroit government cared about its citizens, why are so many citizens leaving? Sixth, Detroit has very little entertainment downtown and is not like Atlanta or Savannah. Finally, Detroit is DIRTY. The city is not clean at all. Take my advice and do not move to Detroit, you will be sorry if you do.

I wouldnt move nessicasrely to detroit.The surrounding cities are very nice.Detroit doesnt have the best economy but not the worst either.There are still plenty of jobs in the auto industry.and honestly none of my family or friends have had trouble getting a good job.Outside of detroit it is safe and clean depending where u go.Around the macomb county area is a good place.Though buses are not vry common around that area.There are alot of entertainment in downtown detroit.Alot of plays and theaters and sporting events.The auto show is held down ther every year.As many festivals are too.During the day detroit isnt that bad of a city.But i would stay away from it at night. My suggestions would be to move to a city surrouding detroit.Cost of living is really not that high and getting a good job shouldnt be so hard.Good luck!

The only one that might be true is number 6. Detroit isn't a terrible city but your friend lied to you. Detroit is trying to clean up its act though.
