Detroit is too small

[Formerly Black Trash]

The D is too small for you, is what you're saying?

Yeah I like em bigger

 

[GetSomeMoney]

My thoughts exactly

Downtown Detroit is cool. Some dope bars and restaurants, beautiful old buildings, some decent shopping it’s just tiny.

Outside of downtown it’s just shocking.. as a Canadian breh who goes over the border to Buffalo / Detroit / Erie (PA) often, Detroit just different.

Where do Detroit nikkas typically live? Cause everywhere I drove outside of downtown seemed like it had on every block abandoned crumbling squatter homes. Homes that look like they were hit by bombs

Any Detroit Coli nikkas can speak on this?

When most get some money, if they aren't downtown, they move to Oakland County or Macomb county but Northwest Detroit is the other spot if you want to stay in the D.

London’s real twin in America is actually Boston.


No grid and dense. Boston is just small which is the major difference. Spaghetti looking subway system also

Boston is about a million and London is about 9 million how are they twins ?

I lived in Detroit

Downtown is great. But anything away from Downtown is

Depends what direction ur going...

 

[audemarzz]

Boston is about a million and London is about 9 million how are they twins ?

Architecture/Layout, not population.
Greater Boston Metro area is also 4 million.

I've never googled earthen London before. That's a big ass city

Buffalo isn't that attractive either though lol

No doubt

But Buffalo a whole different conversation

What's your reason for coming to those areas?

I'm an hold head (49) Detroit born and bred, I got married, had children and fled to the suburbs in the late 1990's. My older brother is dentist and so is his wife, he initially moved to a big house in Farmington Hills, he didnt like it and moved to Indian Village which is an upscale enclave on the eastside right outside of downtown, not too far from the mayors residence (Manoogian Mansion), I have a few other friends I grew up with who reside in Palmer Woods and the University District which is near the University of Detroit. I grew up on the west side, my old neighborhood is semi-stable and I still have friends who live there, I've stated before in other threads, in Detroit you will have three blocks of beautiful well kept homes, then the next block will look bombed out with plenty of blight and abandonment, this goes on for miles and miles in the city. A lot of the blight and vacant lots are due to arabs and a few other races, coming in the city buying houses and burning them down for insurance settlements. For reasons unknown, most of these potential arson cases were not pursued, and these folks used "Devils Night" to commit these crimes in the 1980's and 90's. Back to your question on where Detroit brothers live, some like myself moved to the burbs, there are some people like my older brother and a few others I grew up with who can afford to live elsewhere but decide not too, and still live in Detroit. I have two uncles who still reside in the hood, one is in his 70's retired from Ford he's getting a pension and social security, his neighborhood is wild, he can afford to move but will not. My other uncle is in his early 80's, he was a street dude in the 1960's and 1970's, he could move if he wanted to, but he likes living in the hood. They are proud Detroiters and refuse to move. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the city, but Detroit, like other cities is being gentrified, right now they are focusing on the area from the waterfront to the W.Grand Blvd. Detroit is a 142 square miles, so they have a lot of land to gentrify.

This guy can live anywhere he wants, but he also lives in Detroit, he stated that when he's out of town on business and he tells people he's from Detroit they always assume he's from Bloomfield Hills or Grosse Pointe, but said he always corrects them and tells them that he's from "Detroit".

So that’s basically saying New York and New York Metropolitan area

[DetroitEWarren]

if you grow up somewhere and you and the people you know don't move then what you expect?

I see Detroit nikkas in Atlanta all the time , in about 5-6 times there, I've seen at least 7-8 people I knew from Detroit .
