The city around you looks like an atomic bomb hit you but you're comfortable in your nice little home -- sitting there with your AK47 I hope. It's a mess -- don't kid yourself!

By the way I live across the street from the most gutter, trailer trash, nastiest white people I've ever seen in my life. I don't say that because they are white, I say it because those are their characteristics. Everyone can say something horrible about their own race but they never do because it's much easier to point the finger and say, "It ain't us" when really, what do you mean by "us"! LMAO. If that's how you are as an individual, the color of your skin has NOTHING to do with your behavior.

Bottom Line. The School Districts suck. The Superintendent of the DPS is a product of Affirmative Action who CANNOT string together a grammatically correct sentence. Detroit is much like Liberia, A Black Government that hates White people, yet CANNOT function without White People. If you want to purchase a mansion in Detroit just research the crime statistics against White People who dare to venture there. Detroit does not even have one supermarket chain...Why!?

So many people have left the state (me included) taxes have risen dramatically. I still love Detroit, and wish it prosperous future. See you in October.

Nice homes at bargain-basement prices don't guarantee anything except a cheap house. Keep this in mind: make sure you know the kind of neighbors the area attracts.

Some areas are totally gone yet others still can be brought back to health. You need to change to ethnic makeup to do this. Detroit needs more white people to move back and there is a population that will do just that if the deal is right. They don't generally have children, sizable incomes, professional, full of character and they love to renovate and decorate. You guessed it! The Gay population. They need to be able to feel safe and mostly accepted and when they are watch out. Check out Key West, London, San Francisco, New York, Amsterdam etc. . Watch the changes! They are currently here already and in towns just North of Detroit. Multi-million dollar Gay community centers and luxury condos in Royal Oak and Ferndale. London's city council has proclaimed their city as the Gay capitol of Europe. All we need is some help from the city. Think about it. Hell, give them the houses they want for free and tax breaks for awhile and let thousands become homeowners and residents of Detroit. The Arts scene will explode and so will the city into a rainbow of colors. I think Detroit has a future. Some areas are totally gone yet others still can be brought back to health.
