VERY dangerous to live in those sections of Detroit. Most of the homes have metal bars on the doors and windows. Every year people die in fires because the firemen can't get in to rescue them. You really have to see it to understand completely. Parts of Detroit are OK, and most of the suburbs are still good, except Warren. Other parts are incredibly dangerous to be in, especially at night. When I bike cross country police sometimes warn me that I am in a "bad area". I tell them I bike in Detroit and they invariably say "You'll be fine then. Just keep your eyes open". Crime rate is high, schools are lousy, city government is incompetent, taxes are high, services are fair at best.
