    It does seem like the winters have changed. As a Michigander, I don't see as much snowfall as I did when I was a kid. And it's not like I moved anywhere different. I've always been in the same region. I saw one video on youtube where one person, who clearly knew nothing about or been to Michigan, he described Michigan as a tundra and that it's so cold here we can't even grow anything according to him. Maybe if I come across that video again, I'll put a link in the comments. When I heard that I honestly busted out laughing and thought "Now I know how people from Canada, Iceland & Norway etc feel when they hear this perception of where they're from".

    All good points UNLESS you are moving here from South Florida! We moved from Royal Oak to Boynton Beach and car insurance DOUBLED. House insurance TRIPLED. All food is more expensive there and the drivers are VERY aggressive and DANGEROUS. Needless to say we came back. Cheaper to live in Bloomfield (even paying State income tax) than S. Florida!!!

    The roads in the UP are just as bad if not worse than detroit. The government forgets about the UP just like you. Very little resources or opportunities up there.

    Prior to April, 1956, Detroit had 558 miles of streetcar track. You could go anywhere in and around the city (also this was before the disgusting super highways). The buses which were powered by overhead cables (forgot name of these) lasted another five years but bit the dust in 1961. I mention all this because most people, of course, knowing absolutely nothing about Detroit or the state of Michigan, seem to think the city never, ever had mass transit.Actually, it was one of the earliest. Also, first paved roadway in the country, when everything else was mud.
    In any case, this town, and every place in this country, are fast on their way down since the world economy is completely overturning (last two and one-half years). Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end, and we would dance forever and a day... After having re-read the olde book by Alvin Toffler, "Future Shock", I realize just how out of touch even HE would be today. Most everything he talked about in 1970 has come to pass...by. We are on the down swing. Problem is, this reality simply does not register with anyone.

      That is part of the problem,and the least of Detroit's problems. Detroit was born a port city, and as such developed a reputation for being tough, the introduction of orginized crime in the Roaring twenties gained even a greater negative reputation. And then came drugs in the late twentieth century. All this adds up to a big negative picture of Detroit. And although some of this lingers, it is far from the reason to avoid Detroit.Over the past couple decades Detroiter's have been working hard and with, ( I think) success to turn this around. The two biggest problem is housing, and employment. The businesses that are setting up shop in Detroit are cute. Good for human interest stories on the evening news, but they don't employ enough people to really make a big difference. Alas, one fine day, some one with a major business capable of employing large numbers with a living wage will come along and see that there is plenty of room to build a business. It may still be a ways away, but it will come. When it does it should be the people who have stuck it out here that should be first in those employment lines. Detroit has most everything in place for this kind of revival.
