I use to live there, over 15 years ago and even then, it looked like a war zone. I had a job that required I canvass the entire city on foot (I ran a sales crew for the News/Free Press) and there are some sections where there is literally one house per block and 100 burned out shacks where hookers do their clients for crack money. I remember once being approached by a girl, high on something, who couldn't have been older than a 12, who said she would let me fuck her in the ass for 10 bucks in one of the vacant houses. I DID EVEN STOP TO SAY NO. She looked like she had lived a 100 years in that frail body full of needle holes. I have no doubt that she died a long time ago.

Today, Detroit is worse than ever. It looks worse than a bombed out village in any third world war zone. There is a reason they are selling houses for 10K. In fact, there were homes that you could have gotten for MUCH LESS. I am talking a few thousand. And that was 15 years ago during the bubble years. Detroit is the epitome of an urban wasteland.
