      Atlanta feels very unsafe a lot of time between traffic, quick tempered people, high costs of living. Drag racing. I'm willing to be it's passed or passing Detroit. In fact I'll go so far to say it's probably like the old Los Angeles before it became more latino.

    I live in CA and the weather back in the Midwest scares me. Well actually I know what it's like, spent a huge part of life shoveling snow and freezing in my boots, surviving the blizzards, and trying to stay upright on ice. My family lives in Detroit though, and I so desperately want to visit on the first chance I get. Visited several times in the past and always had a wonderful time. Detroit is definitely one of the best cities.

    I think the people of Detroit should vote different political party. Because crime would go way down and the neighborhoods would be much safer. Because the results of voting the same political party for decades hasn't shown any results.

    Hi Mr. Butler. I am working as a Medical Office Assistant in a hospital in NYC where I was born and raised. I am saving up to one day buy a home and I hear great things about Detroit and want to move here. However, I still need to do more research on how to start out in a new state: job, where to live, transportation, etc. Plus I heard that the taxes are pretty high. I have watched all of your videos which are pretty darn helpful. Any tips or ideas on how and where I should start? I appreciate your feedback. One more thing, I don't have a car, and being a native New Yorker, I rely heavily on transportation. I also researched auto insurance and read that it was high in payments. It's a lot to think about, but I just want to make my move.

      @EdButlerDetroit  Рік тому +1

      Hi Saitheleton! I think that sounds like an awesome plan, and to make you feel better, taxes here are less than of what they are in New York. You guys have some of the highest property taxes in the country.
      Being in the medical field I don’t think you will have an issue with employment, so I would continue to research. And plan a visit to check the city out!

    How about the 7 miles red? Is there a lots of gun violence and is it walkable? Coming from NYC that's a concern...whether it is safe to walk? Also is it LGBT friendly?

      Hey Chris, I imagine you me 7 mile rd? We have a street that extends the length of the city named 7 mile, but since its so vast there is no way to generalize the street itself. In some parts its really nice in others not so much, and walkability varies as well.
