downtown did change alot mid town and downtown are not bad.. now 7 mile and vandyke is bad but vandyke and jeff not that bad i see white walking dogs at 3 am and that wasnt a thing some yrs ago.. just saying
He's talking about the actual Downton you stupid ppl. Obviously downtown near the sporting arenas and the music halls and eastern market is safe stfu ppl
I think that was the only good thing he said. I've been to cool ass abandoned churches, raves and clubs in giant warehouses. Helping urban farms in the giant fields where houses use to be
If you're from Detroit, you know the "outlying neighborhoods" mean the actual residential areas inside Detroit proper. During the housing crash of 08, many people lost their homes to foreclosure when the city's mayor decided to misappropriate Hardest Hit Funds to pay conflicting interests for literally demolishing entire blocks and neighborhoods. Prior to that, resources and city services had been severely cut following the mass "white flight" when half the city's white population left for surrounding suburbs. Factors which only built up on long standing policies such as Redlining that had already been subjecting and confined most Black residents to the worst parts of the city. The recent gentrification that started mostly in the downtown areas mainly serve to attract more white residents as many of the city's black residents who remained have continued to voice there concerns of sub par city services, over priced property taxes, and lack of representation in policy making. #TheMoreYouKnow
You can voice concern all day, but until they clean up their gangs and death culture no rational people will ever want to step foot in that city again.
Right. Everyone hopefully knows (well everyone but old ass boomers) that downtown and midtown Detroit are safe. You can work, go to school and in most places live visit without an issue. Just using common sense. But the surrounding areas of downtown Detroit, outside of rich ass private communities, that are not downtown but in detroit proper are quite dangerous.
I'm a Detroiter have been my entire life he's 100% right. Detroit is a lot more lowkey and subtle then new york but we have all the big city essentials like stadiums, high end shopping, entertainment, and fantastic food. As for danger again hes right the downtown has always been safe the real dangerous parts are on the west side in the ghettos and is mostly gang or drug related but even still I've walked through the bad neighborhoods like brightmoor and was never in danger.
Very well said. The Downtown area is extremely safe like in most cities the metropolitan areas are low crime rate, safe and clean. I lived on the east side of Detroit for almost 50 years and survived. As a child I lived in the projects and rarely have I experience violence. Because in most cases people who keep to themselves and work live normal lives. The reputation Detroit gets is overrated.
Yeah I lived on the east side in the hood for 25 years and I’ve never experienced violence. The thing people don’t understand is most of the crime in Detroit is not random. If you mind your business and don’t get into any trouble you’ll be fine. But if you go looking for trouble, trouble finds you. Which is how it is in most major cities.
Eh, that’s true in most cities, but the odds of being a victim of random crime is still a lot higher here than the rest of the country even if it’s not as likely as a non-gang member.
As a UPS driver on the east side in regent park and the Kelly-gratiot corridor by cadieux, I can say things are getting worse by the day. Things used to be chill, then COVID destroyed what little had been built and people lost their minds. I’ve dealt directly with gun violence and physical assault 3 times in the past year. So that guy in the vid is a bubble boy in his midtown high rise apartment.
After a wings game I decided to pick a random exit off 75 and drive through the hood. The whole neighborhood was dark apart from the glow of TV's coming from these houses and generators running. It didn't look like these houses had any windows. Don't stop for anything, no stop signs, nothing.
I can confirm! Detroit is safe if you have no gang affiliations and you are respectful and mind your business Edit: I don’t speak for all of Detroit but the majority of Detroit isn’t bad unless you have bad affiliations like gangs or illegal substance dealers
Well...I don't believe I'M "capping" (did I spell that right😊). My actual HOUSE that I live in like right now right now was shown a few times in "BMF". I absolutely LOVE living in Detroit. Any problems I've ever had were from people that were NOT from around Detroit.
I love how everyone from Detroit says the only way to stay out of trouble is to mind your own business. That can only be construed to mean don't say anything when you see somebody doing something illegal. If you saw someone rob the convenience store, no you didn't. If you watched those kids beat up that woman on the corner, close your door. If you heard the neighbor getting shot at in the drive-by and you saw the car driving away, turn your lights off and pretend you were in bed. Be invisible and most importantly don't say anything to anybody about anything, ever.
I've spent so much time in many different areas of Detroit as an adult that I felt like I lived there. Morning, noon, and night I never felt unsafe. I worked, socialized and got complex healthcare for my son. During this time, I would roam the streets of Detroit exploring and not just the nice areas. I love Detroit.
Well I grew up there. Fell asleep to the sound of gunfire and screeching tires more often than not. Had stray bullets come through our windows a couple times. Witnessed a drive-by shooting when I was 7. We all have different experiences of the city, but consider yourself lucky you ever felt safe.
@Kaleidoface literally. These people keep saying " I spent time, it felt like I properly lived there". They didn't. And you GREW UP there. So obviously you know Detroit better
@@DisturbedGeneration I know my experience of it. I have been back there for work a couple times over the last few years, and yeah, the downtown renovations are shiny and full of young optimists who just moved there and think they're gonna save it. And for everyone's sake who still lives there, I hope they can. To me it feels too much like a facade. I did my time, and I'm just glad I got out. Good luck to 'em. But yeah, when people say, "oh the horror stories are overblown". I have to roll my eyes. Two things can be true at once, and I lived the other side.
@@KaleidofaceThat Goes On Almost Everywhere Now Lol So I Think That He Was Saying Was Detroit Is Not As Bad As You Might Think I Is Because Of Skewed Numbers St Louis And Baltimore Is Worse Than Detroit If You Compare Certain Numbers Lol
1. He doesn't live in Detroit. Royal Oak, Birmingham, or something that ends in "Hills". To be fair he said he is FROM Detroit. Probably moved 50 years ago to the burbs. Or lives in Indian Village, Palmer Park, or the new gentrified areas with condos going for $800k+ 2. He is correct about downtown. The issue is you have to travel through the outlying areas to get there. And get home. Crime in Detroit isn't so much about a general area. In many places its block by block. On the same street. Block 1....great. Manicured lawns, well kept homes, clean, safe. The next block burned out trap houses. And the one after is overall descent.
That block comment tells me you definitely know what you're talking about. I grew up at Puritan and Wyoming, and it was good on my side generally but there was constant sirens just in the other side of the Lodge freeway. It's really block by block.
Have found that criminals like to rob the nicer homes, cars... Know people who live in Indian Village who had their front door kicked in while sleeping.
I lived in east english village for 7 years, great middle class neighborhood, good neighborhoods all over Detroit, yes he can and probably does live in Detroit. 👌
Used to live in eastpoint or east detroit. It was a shit hole, any time we made our house look nice it got vandalized. We moved last year and we are in a way more safe area of michigan.
I was born and raised in Detroit, and it's definitely a rough city. Many suburbanites move to gentrified downtown and think that represents all of Detroit, but it's just a small part of a larger city.
Yuuuuup that’s facts! Detroit is very sketchy, but downtown is well funded to look nice (even then you can still see all the unfinished buildings and vacant ones etc). Go even 1-2 miles outside of downtown and just like that you can get killed, robbed, and or beat up. Even in downtown people still get killed or beat up just not as much. Detroit I’d say is improving, but there’s at least 2 decades of catching up and work that needs to be done before the city is even at a Ferndale level of safety and quality or living. I still love going to downtown though and at least supporting the city!
Thank you! Cuz this man sound dumb as hell…. The “real Detroit” is where the violence happened and still happens… the suburbs and downtown don’t count!!!! If you didn’t grow up with your mail saying DETROIT… YOU NOT FROM DETROIT…. Yeah that goes for all y’all in Southfield too… DETROIT IS DETROIT
When you go to Detroit, it is a MUST to visit the Lafayette Coney Island. Go see a rap battle at the shelter, visit Campus Martius, and see a concert at the Fillmore and the Fox Theater.
Lafayette Coney Island has the BEST Coneys in the world. Don’t bother going to American next door. Lafayette is a much better experience and better food.
Yeah but being from Detroit area myself they are probably right. It's mainly the old hipster vibe he's giving off. That said I'm sure many might say same of me and I actually lived in some of the rougher areas downtown (before everything for gentrified) for over a decade.
Ya, for sure. It can be beautiful and has some great hisstory but it's a crime ridden shithole. Amazing how much money they take in and can't even keep people from getting shot. I'm not sure why the national guard hasn't come in to mass execute all of the gangs yet.
Facts i lived in Detroit my whole life the only time you really not safe is if you in a place you know you shouldn’t be or you messing with someone you shouldn’t be other than that you good😂
@@neanderthalslayer detroit doesn’t have tons of standard gangs like bloods or crips. It goes by streets. Certain blocks. Acting like downtown isn’t much safer then the outside areas is a flat out lie
That's what everyone's said for the past 15 years. Same thing with Flint. It's terrible. I don't know what metric you people are using for these statements of, "Detroit's not that bad," and, "it's coming back. It gets better every year."
@@Yoshirama There have been set backs with the bankruptcy and COVID. Investors and entrepreneurs have decided to try again but the process is slow and mostly around downtown area
Detroit’s downtown has really cleaned up and become extremely safe and beautiful over the last 5 years especially. It’s crazy to see photos of downtown even 10 years ago, it’s completely changed. It’s actually one of the safest downtown areas in the country by crime statistics, and there’s finally a decent amount of new developments going up. Shouldn’t be too long before detroit starts gaining population again
I use to work at Trappers Alley and you're right Greektown was the only place to go for years now you can go everywhere downtown and have a Great time.
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT !! My city is beautiful I think everyone should visit at least once and the area he’s talking about is safe the hoods not so much but it’s beautiful
I live in Flint, I go to Detroit every so often for concerts. I set the GPS so I know exactly where I'm going because Detroit can be a dangerous place if you don't know where you're going.
Always dismissing people because he carries himself well and is nice? Are you saying if you live in Detroit you can't be a decent human being? I'm not sure what you're trying to say. God forbid he be a roll model for a good human being and ALSO live in Detroit. People like you are the ones who made the city the shit hole it is today. I feel bad for Michigan, Detroit kills the value of that whole state.
He's a Gem 💎 ... He said EXACTLY WHAT WE ALL KNEW ALREADY IF U KNOW YOUR CITY‼️ Don't listen to outsiders it's no diff than the anyone else's city, state etc.
I like Detroit, my child has 2 chronic health conditions and we go to DMC children’s for her treatments every 4 weeks. I have never had a problem with anyone or anything. We go to concerts downtown and we go to the zoo and I always meet some cool interesting people.
@@uRealReels Idk if I have been over there, but I’ve been over by Harpos for concerts I think off of fisher freeway. Not the greatest area but the homeless people are always nice.
@@ninas4968 cool. I admire you for reaching out to the homeless people. I always wish there was something I could do to help them. Are you able to be of any help to them?
Detroit technically doesn't have gangs, we have street crews and there is a difference. Most gangs tried to come here to recruit but the street crew didn't allow it
naw there are a few decent places to live. maybe 1/50th of the actually liveable areas. then you go to the outskirts where crsckhesds live in there crackhomes and get robbed then stabbed
The cool things in Detroit, that I read about from my condo in Birmingham are in downtown where i get a hotel room when i go to a tigers game or check out a restaurant and get on I-75 north as fast a possible
Yeah hahah especially if you leave the downtown area and go east or west… you’ll see some funky stuff fs. You only want to stay in the downtown area or if you are leaving downtown ideally leave on Telegraph
@@Jimbowman484 that’s racist.. if your white and took your girl to Detroit you’re from the burbs automatically? So white people weren’t born and don’t live in Detroit such as my white gf’s dad and other nearby cities too? And if you see them they are just suburban whites? So basically… you unconsciously assume all white people live better lives than blacks.. seems like a victim mentality if you ask me.
I'm from Iraq I came to Detroit when I was 3 months old, DETROIT is home, and I feel safer in Detroit than I do the suburbs, Detroit is safe as long as u mind ur business and do ur thing, I literally live on joy Rd and all my neighbors love me my kids walk out safely, don't do dirt and dirt won't come ur way 💯
@@michellerenecrossman9446 if you don’t live there, just don’t join the discussion. Chances are you’ve never been and think it’s in the same state it was 20 years ago but alright.
@@Depsty I chose to go back to Detroit and work in the inner city, taking care of its people as a nursing assistant in it’s hospital. I know the ins and outs and ups and downs of my people. I bathe the homeless people you pass in the street. I know what I’m talking about.
A cop from the U.P. Pulled me over for speeding and asked me where I was from and actually let me go because my ID actually said Detroit on it instead of Rochester Hills like this guy.
1 other thing Detroit is heavily segregated so depending on who you ask you may get different answers I've lived in the suburbs of Clinton Township and Macomb. Also in the active gang territory on the eastside where I'm from you don't have to worry just mind your own business. Most of Detroit is Black outside of downtown and Hamtramck so it goes without saying if you're not black in the inner city you may stick out it's fine just be cautious of surroundings but that goes for all new places be safe and come visit our roads are poop tho
I had a doordash order I dropped off in Detroit, it was in the Linwood area. It was 1 am and I didn’t bring my Glock with me that night. I am white and I’m 18. When I pulled up to the house there was a ten foot fence surrounding the house and houses next to it. I saw a chain hanging with the lock unlocked, I moved the chain, opened the gate, then ran up to the doorstep and took a picture as fast as I could and then bolted back to my car. Safe to say I never did that again
@@marieford4464 oh, no you can be 18 to own a handgun. You just have to go through a different process, you have to pick up a purchase permit from local PD and purchase the handgun privately instead of at a gun store
Sadly Portland has gotten out of control unsafe and police are unhinged in that city. A decade ago it was doing good things for unhoused folks, now… nonprofits are still trying but it’s different it seems.
My daughter was an intern at the Free Press when she was still in high school. I told just keep yours door lock, mind your own business and don’t stop at any gas stations until you get back to the burbs.
Good grief you obviously haven’t been downtown and in town lately tons of great places to live, enjoy shop and work out. So tired of people talking about Detroit like it’s 2005
@@manbtm1 I was born in Detroit and went to high school there, have been a Comerica Park season ticket holder and have been back to the City thousands of times but I’m also not a naive’ 16 year old girl from the suburbs. Now she is 27 and bas many friends that live down there on the river and in midtown and it’s beautiful and mostly safe. She has lived on her own in Chicago, NY and studied and lived abroad so now I wouldn’t worry about her at all because she is an independent adult, although I still don’t frequent the gas stations.
Spot on! It’s not that Detroit has gotten cooler, we’ve always been base. We’ve had work done, so we just look prettier. BUT we’ve always had authentic cultural foods, loaded musicians & music lovers, the arts to sporting to seasonal events, untouchable underground scene, & a rare type of loyalty within. If ya know, ya know, if ya don’t, we ain’t sweat’n it. Detroit VS Everybody🍻
@@redcomic619 nope not at all. Not a criminal mastermind and I speak proper English like someone from Texas as that's where I grew up. Not everyone in Detroit is ghetto 🤷🏻♀️ Sorry to disappoint you.
I'm glad someone finally said it! Detroit can be rough at times but it definitely gets lumped with crimes and stuff that happen in surrounding cities. No one is gonna say bank robbed in Redord, it's always detroit.
Me and my siblings were always safe and enjoyed our childhood.. went everywhere east to west visiting family, just taking a ride through our neighborhood listening to my mom's favorite music, we took outings with older cousins Downtown to enjoy festivities at the hart plaza with the water ⛲️ fountains and everything else there is to offer, all in one strip off of the water. we also were apart of the era where we stayed outside with our friends until the street lights came on, having SO MUCH fun. I love my city. 🩷
“The downtown area where you might stay” is why he say Detroit is safe. Idk why the hell he said has been tho because downtown just got like that in the last 15 years lol. Aside from that or neighborhoods get no love, so it’s rough. But I will say I find a lot of love in the people in the city.
People clowning my man for living in the suburbs and not Detroit,but I swear that there are a ton of people who look just like him in the former" hood". It surprised me too. For example,drive up Kercheval near Butzel Recreation. Nothing like it once was.
Bro... thats not true .. All that hood you talking about are places where they kick the poor people out and now people with money live there they don't live in the hood they live in a place that used to be the hood! downtown was never the hood.. The hood is the east side of Detroit the hood is Highland the hood is Inkster! 7 mile 6 mile mcnichols finkle joy road puritan ave. Houston Whittier. Shit like that not gentrification areas.... Now you might have some people in Southwest Detroit but that's about it and that's Mexicans
@@brucemfvane4148Maybe your reply isn't for me, because you created your own topic to argue about. No one ever said downtown hasn't been historically more diverse and the area where Butzel Recreation Center was definitely the neighborhood, it's not anymore.

You just said that the " hood" is define by being black and tore down when the whites come and clean it up and make it nice it's no longer the hood. Make it make sense bro. You said it and I hope you don't try to explain. I get it, we are programmed to hold anything that we possess in lower esteem.

Funny because the outskirts is Detroit too. 😂 born and raised Detroit, Michigan on the east side. Most people who say they’re from Detroit live in the outskirts. All of Detroit gets wild. Downtown too. My boy lying to y’all 😂
Im Detroit born and raised and alot of people would definitely be fine if you just go wherever youve always been and mind yo own goddamn business that pays you
Now (Christmas season) is the best time to visit, downtown has a huge tree, a ice skating rink, a Christmas market, live shows, great restaurants, the riverwalk and it is safe.
I live in Detroit Downtown in Lafayette Park, great neighborhood lots of things to do, there’s several really great neighborhoods in downtown and Midtown, it’s a very cool city, and visit, and no you don’t need to live in Royal Oak or Birmingham or Grosse Pointe.
Very well said. Has huge metropolitan suburbs ppl forget about. The city dwntwn is big & world class. 4- Pro sports teams dwntwn. Only big city in US has that! #Detroitrockcity #Riverfront

EXCELLENT RESPONSE. Detroit gets a bad reputation due to outside NEWS, ppl. come from suburban cities, hit the clubs, drinking and druggin , doing car donuts in the street intersections, get into gun violence, then the police gets involved. Don't get me wrong, we have our own fair share of idiots, but it's NOT EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE EVERYTIME.
I was born and raised in Detroit and worked downtown Detroit for 50 years. I love Detroit although there are way too many slum areas. I watched neighborhoods of Detroit go to hell while downtown Detroit was well taken care of for the white collar workers. I sold my home in Detroit and moved to the suburbs for my son the schools were getting bad and too many government freeloaders were ruining the nice neighborhoods. I am retired now but I still love Detroit and their really nice restaurants, theaters and casinos.
He isn't spot on people from Royal Oak and all those other areas think Downtown is the city but the second you leave from Downtown you see the real city, the city that will not sugarcoat what Downtown tries sugarcoat.
Believe it or not they do stay in Detroit now they bought a lot of houses near the downtown area and like midtown even near Mack and bewick. They are actually fixing it up I like it. Why glorify the bad
Detroiter Born & Raised...MOST of the crime is NOT random. Detroit has improved over the last 30 years (since Mayor Archer)...there are plenty of things to do, places to go and live (Downtown, Midtown, Corktown, Palmer Woods, University District, Boston-Edison, Rosedale Park, East English Village or Indian Village...there are a lot of good things about Detroit.

I have been back there for work a couple times over the last few years, and yeah, the downtown renovations are shiny and full of young optimists who just moved there and think they're gonna save it. And for everyone's sake who still lives there, I hope they can.
To me it feels too much like a facade. I did my time, and I'm just glad I got out. Good luck to 'em.
But yeah, when people say, "oh the horror stories are overblown". I have to roll my eyes. Two things can be true at once, and I lived the other side.

He’s the type of person to say he lives on 8 mile, but he actually lives on the Warren side.
North Warren at that!!
Mmm… def not south Warren… getting that 8 mile ferndale vibe lol
Just like Marshall Mathers, lived in flicking Casco.
8 mile and haggerty*
Been paying any attention to Warren lately? Especially around 8 Mile? Crime by the 13% is off the hook
1. He doesn't live in Detroit. Royal Oak, Birmingham, or something that ends in "Hills". To be fair he said he is FROM Detroit. Probably moved 50 years ago to the burbs. Or lives in Indian Village, Palmer Park, or the new gentrified areas with condos going for $800k+ 2. He is correct about downtown. The issue is you have to travel through the outlying areas to get there. And get home. Crime in Detroit isn't so much about a general area. In many places its block by block. On the same street. Block 1....great. Manicured lawns, well kept homes, clean, safe. The next block burned out trap houses. And the one after is overall descent.
That block comment tells me you definitely know what you're talking about. I grew up at Puritan and Wyoming, and it was good on my side generally but there was constant sirens just in the other side of the Lodge freeway. It's really block by block.
Have found that criminals like to rob the nicer homes, cars...
Know people who live in Indian Village who had their front door kicked in while sleeping.
Well I know he doesn't live in Detroit because he's still not shot.
It's called a freeway. It takes you from the suburbs to downtown
I lived in east english village for 7 years, great middle class neighborhood, good neighborhoods all over Detroit, yes he can and probably does live in Detroit. 👌
Used to live in eastpoint or east detroit. It was a shit hole, any time we made our house look nice it got vandalized. We moved last year and we are in a way more safe area of michigan.

I was born and raised in Detroit, and it's definitely a rough city. Many suburbanites move to gentrified downtown and think that represents all of Detroit, but it's just a small part of a larger city.
Say it!
I love Detroit
Yuuuuup that’s facts! Detroit is very sketchy, but downtown is well funded to look nice (even then you can still see all the unfinished buildings and vacant ones etc). Go even 1-2 miles outside of downtown and just like that you can get killed, robbed, and or beat up. Even in downtown people still get killed or beat up just not as much.
Detroit I’d say is improving, but there’s at least 2 decades of catching up and work that needs to be done before the city is even at a Ferndale level of safety and quality or living.
I still love going to downtown though and at least supporting the city!
💯
Thank you! Cuz this man sound dumb as hell…. The “real Detroit” is where the violence happened and still happens… the suburbs and downtown don’t count!!!! If you didn’t grow up with your mail saying DETROIT… YOU NOT FROM DETROIT…. Yeah that goes for all y’all in Southfield too… DETROIT IS DETROIT

Ya, for sure. It can be beautiful and has some great hisstory but it's a crime ridden shithole. Amazing how much money they take in and can't even keep people from getting shot. I'm not sure why the national guard hasn't come in to mass execute all of the gangs yet.

@@Yoshirama
There have been set backs with the bankruptcy and COVID. Investors and entrepreneurs have decided to try again but the process is slow and mostly around downtown area
Detroit’s downtown has really cleaned up and become extremely safe and beautiful over the last 5 years especially. It’s crazy to see photos of downtown even 10 years ago, it’s completely changed. It’s actually one of the safest downtown areas in the country by crime statistics, and there’s finally a decent amount of new developments going up. Shouldn’t be too long before detroit starts gaining population again
I use to work at Trappers Alley and you're right Greektown was the only place to go for years now you can go everywhere downtown and have a Great time.
True but around detroit is still a lot of gang violence and crimes. I hope our people find wealth and peace soon
Man folks start getting dropped downtown
The only place you see detroit cops are downtown I'd have to think that helps.
Greektown is wildin out. It's never been the best area but something about those few blocks people forget how to act.

As a man who lives in Detroit he’s kinda on spot with everything he said.
Detroit technically doesn't have gangs, we have street crews and there is a difference. Most gangs tried to come here to recruit but the street crew didn't allow it
Street crews are gangs mate that's mainly east side shit for the big names
You so wrong boy the only gangs that didnt make it was the cobras and the worldwides
there's definitely a red zone on the east side that is run by gangs. so technically, yes. detroit does have strong gang activity.
go 2 wayne county jail u will see how many gangs we have in detroit
Ehh… I know some VLs that would kinda disagree.
People bashing him for not looking like he lives in Detroit but u have to be wealthy to live in actual downtown detroit

Man's just tryin to say something positive about detroit.
Don't do him like that. 💀
The only thing positive about it. Is that gas is 30 cents cheaper. But ya might get shot while pumping it
Translation. the areas with Detroit residents are the dangerous parts you want to avoid.
naw there are a few decent places to live. maybe 1/50th of the actually liveable areas. then you go to the outskirts where crsckhesds live in there crackhomes and get robbed then stabbed
Ikr. I got taken at gunpoint in brightmoor
The cool things in Detroit, that I read about from my condo in Birmingham are in downtown where i get a hotel room when i go to a tigers game or check out a restaurant and get on I-75 north as fast a possible
As someone who lives near Detroit, I confirm this is absolutely true.
What he said about knowing certain spots is true. My husband took me to Detroit for a weekend. I saw some pretty interesting stuff
Yeah hahah especially if you leave the downtown area and go east or west… you’ll see some funky stuff fs. You only want to stay in the downtown area or if you are leaving downtown ideally leave on Telegraph

1 other thing Detroit is heavily segregated so depending on who you ask you may get different answers I've lived in the suburbs of Clinton Township and Macomb. Also in the active gang territory on the eastside where I'm from you don't have to worry just mind your own business. Most of Detroit is Black outside of downtown and Hamtramck so it goes without saying if you're not black in the inner city you may stick out it's fine just be cautious of surroundings but that goes for all new places be safe and come visit our roads are poop tho
