The scary thing is, there's a place in Michigan even worse than Detroit.
Flint.
and then there's that hellhole ann arbor
Ann Arbor is terrible if you hate everything about rich white kids freeloading their way into a top university.
But Ann Arbor is a great place if you have yellow fever.

“Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.” - Loren Eiseley
Whenever I drive up to Michigan to visit family, we usually get to Coldwater around 10 PM, so we stay at a motel there. Every goddamned time, "I heard you slept in Coldwater. That must've been uncomfortable. Ha ha."
Detroit is balls; I don't even like being in the nicer parts.
However, there's a new city on its way to joining Flint and Detroit as shit-capitals of the state. That city is Pontiac, and it's only two towns over from me.
As for the weather, eventually you get used to the cold. The wind is the main problem.

The only thing I know about Detroit is that when the producers of Robocop wanted their movie set in a dystopian wasteland
They just filmed Detroit as it currently was

Some poor old guy had a limiter put on his fuse box, and it didn't allow enough power to run his heater. He froze to death in his own house. WAY TO GO ELECTRIC COMPANY (i don't remember where this was.)
I remember a big news story here a couple years ago about an old lady on a respirator at her home who died after the power company shut her power off, all the while the kids were begging the dude who came to shut it off not to do it.
A lady on the biggest loser lives in Detroit and said she could buy a house there for $5,000. I thought this was a mistake so I looked it up
And she was overselling. There are some places there that you can buy for exactly one dollar. There are hundreds of places you can get for $1,000 or less. I suggested to a couple people that the forumers should buy out all those places and make Detroit a Social Entropy version of Animal Crossing

I went to Detroit's Warped Tour a couple years ago with my brother and a couple friends. We ended up having to park way the hell away from the concert. After it ended at around 10:00 we got a few blocks past Comerica before we realized that we had no idea where the fuck we were.
Let me tell you. Getting lost in Detroit is not fun. I felt like Odysseus traversing the treacherous seas of the underworld or something. When we finally found the car there were a couple shady dudes hoovering around it. They said that they were "watching it for us" and we should pay them for their troubles. Fun times.

I'm not buying a neighborhood in detroit without investing in high fences, concertina wire, and some of those trigger-happy fucks from Blackwater.

There are areas just a few miles from Detroit that are still really ran down in terms of architecture, but are mostly white lower-middle-class areas with low crime.
I'd be curious to see how much houses are going for in areas like that.
Also, shitty to shitty-ish areas outside of nice cities (Clawson blocks away from Royal Oak, and Ypsi minutes away from Ann Arbor). Tomorrow, I might look some of that stuff up.
Edit: Foreclosed 2 story, prefurnished houses less than 15 years old in affluent, super-safe subdivisions are going for under $5,000 as well. This is fucking ridiculous. I may as well just buy a house to have a couple spares at this point.

not saying it's the better option, but it's there.
Detroit was pretty much just like Toronto, except a tad dirtier and with bleaker suburbs
Steam / Bus Blog / Goozex Referral
Escape from Detroit would be a terrible movie, though
hahahaha
and I fell asleep part way there
anyway when I woke up I asked where we were
they said
"Drink Water"
so
I took a drink of some water
and asked again
"Drink Water"
so I drank water again
turns out the place is named
drinkwater
But yeah, going into Detroit was always a combination of slightly scary and mostly depressing.

i never go because it scares the shit out of me
like, they remodelled the part that you see after emerging from the international tunnel or bridge and it still looks sketchy as fuck
being found half-frozen is a pretty cool way to die, dudes
ice to meet you
guys... where are we?
Maybe I'm just retarded, but I can't seem to figure this out.
The writing on the wall, I mean. Its a something "ese pool" but I can't logically think of what the word obscured by Beavo's head is. Geese pool?
Riddle me that one.

We could all go Urban Exploring.

Or, you know, we could hit up the Mongolian Barbeque.
