I live in the suburbs a little ways outside of Detroit.

As Lilred stated in her past post, Things around here have changed.
There used to be land and space around to "Get away" from the psycho-ward that Detroit has become(since the 68-69 riots). Even that is/has become almost impossible.

I own a small cabin & land about 2 1/2 hours away (Up North) but I can see that, even that is only a temporary respite from these so called "People".

My parents grew up and went to collage in Detroit. My grandmother was an organist for Jesu Parish for over 41 years. I grew up spending My summers in deepest darkest Detroit......

Having said all of this, I feel Detroit and the other cities like it, In my opinion, are/should be a complete write off. They are in a word unfixable. If one could erect a giant wall and let them destroy themselves, I'd run the mixer for the mortar.

And the "disease" is spreading.

I only hope I can someday afford to move far enough away to live out the remainder of My life in relative peace & quiet.
