Review of Detroit, Michigan


Not worth the depression
Star Rating - 7/11/2014
Detroit is its own little hell! Not enough cops, ambulances. No money! no water! Everything is burnt down and dilapidated. there are no street lights, which makes everything dangerous. You know your entering the city when you go from street lights and clean empty streets at night to dark dirty streets with drug addicts and prostitutes crawling all over the streets like cockroaches. There is nothing for the youth to do, all the play grounds are hidden with 6 feet tall grass. The houses are all burnt down. When you try to fix the homes up, thieves come in and take everything worth a buck, so there is no trying to fix up the city. Don't wear name brand shoes, jeans, sunglasses, iphone or even your vehicle you could be held up at gunpoint to give up your possesions. If you have children in your car and you are carjacked you may be able to save your children if the gunman will allow you to get your children out before they take off in your vehicle, you can be carjacked in mcdonalds drive thru, the atm, or at a red light. chances are if you are male you are going to be shot by another male. women and children are now becoming part of this nonsense. If you dare cut your grass watch your back you could be shot at or killed. I don't know what is wrong with these people but ive never hated living somewhere so much! The blacks hate white people, there has been a lot of beatings of white people. Do not come here to raise a family, there are no schools, corrupt city officials, corrupt anybody pretty much, greed has gotten the best of everyone around here. Its really a sad and dirty depressing city to live in. I am now getting ready to move out of state, I've just had enough of this place, no one is friendly, everyone is stressed out and sick of this place too! even the worst cities in the united states couldn't be as bad as here and im ready to move on! Detroit isn't call DETOILET FOR NOTHING. its full of Sh#t.

Wow. I couldn't have put it better myself. I hate living here. I thought I was alone in seeing how ridiculous this city is. I guess you just have to have some standards.
