BRTS your disdain for suburbs borders on obsession. I don't care if you want to live in a city. Its your right to do so. But it is also my right to live in a suburb. Get over it!

There are many ex-Detroiters who had nice homes in the city and would have stayed there until they died, but the neighborhoods changed and violent crime became a serious problem. So people moved out, not because they wanted to but because they were forced to. My in-laws were in that situation. They sold their home in Detroit about 15 years ago. Today there are bars on the windows of that home, as there are on many of the other homes in that area. Why do you suppose that is?

BRTD I picked out a few homes withinin the city of Detroit where perhaps you and Opebo might want to settle. I'm sure you could get a good deal on them.

Just offering BRTD a chance to live in a city away from those nasty boring suburbs. The houses just need a little work.  Call them fixer-uppers.

BTW Memphis I suspect that you never lived in or near Detroit, so  you really don't know what the hell you're talking about. If you talk to suburbanites around Detroit a frequent story you will hear is that they previously lived in a nice house in Detroit but were forced to move because of the rising crime rates.

On a completely different note, can we please get BRTD laid, so he'll quit producing strip-club oriented posts. There's more to life than paying a girl to sit in your lap, kid.

LMAO   Excellent comment Memphis.

Why would anyone resurrect a two year old thread that was goofy when it was new?
