No I've never been there.

Bacon King probably knows the reason.

Detroit. Suburban Birmingham is as nightmarish as it comes.

The thought of Atlas posters trying to navigate life in Detroit, or any other American ghetto, is hilarious.

You do realize I live less than a mile from a ghetto?

Detroit is right beside Canada. Albeit it's Windsor, but still.

This forum does not like wealthy suburbs I see.

Which is ironic, because wealthy suburbanites probably have the highest quality of life out of any group.

You see the link I posted? That band is (obviously) from Detroit, and they look exactly like stereotypical Atlas posters. And yeah they have no problems living in Detroit.

Is Detroit radically different than the poor neighborhoods in Columbia, SC?

Atlas posters are opposed to comfort on principle.

These results are unreal. 

I'd much rather live a peaceful, affluent lifestyle surrounded by friendly Southern Evangelicals than have to deal with living in a highly impoverished area filled with crime, drugs, and and ghettoes. 

I get people here don't like suburbs, but I just can't fathom how someone would choose to live in Detroit over one of the richest suburbs in the country.

My neighborhood has a 34% poverty rate, has plenty of crime and drugs, and the biggest ghetto in south Minneapolis is right next door.

And yet I love it. It's still a very vibrant and fun place to live. Now that the weather's nice I really appreciate being able to walk to be able to go shopping and to all our lovely parks.

Why do you assume there is no crime, poverty or drugs in these types of areas?
