Part of living in the suburbs is privacy that is why most rich athletes live in the burbs. I like living in the burbs, I like my privacy and need a large backyard to chill.
I’m more of a city person myself
Ehh idk about privacy ppl in the burbs are nosey as hell.
The suburbs are for the settled elderly 50+

After living in suburbia for 20 years, I found myself back in the city of my birth. Although I've experienced more crime while living in Detroit than out, I always felt more comfortable being in the city. And living downtown is where it's at!
William Rick Graham yes sir... making the transition back myself.
And what is it that you need from Downtown that is so important?? So what if you need to drive 5 minutes to the mall or plaza?? Do you need those fucking clubs, restaurants and all that noisy living?? I guess it's a personal choice, but I rather drive and stay in the suburbs.
you're the type to force opinions the moment a person doesn't conform to your specific ideology. This is just that man's preference to live in the city..that plan and simple.And it's nothing wrong with that.maybe some people just like being near clubs and noisy environments..and besides..he fairly gave a comparison of pros and cons for living in the city as well as in contrast to living in the suburbs
It’s crazy to see the progression throughout Anton’s life. This man went from not caring about the Piston’s to wanting to own them now in 2022. This is dope. Keep doing your thing big bro
Really good comparison and I like the fact that you were shooting the video in the setting that you were talking about! Great video! I'm from Hong Kong and I've lived in a small town in Connecticut for almost 8 years for school and I'm still not used to that quiet setting where there is NOTHING to do! I only feel alive when I am in the city (NYC).
The city is EVERYTHING!
I love the suburbs, but sometimes I like going to the city
Its the other way around for me
Too much noise in the city. I like living in the quiet and commuting to when I want a little more excitement.
Wanna switch?
There are “quiet” inner city neirborhoods in some cities. And loud noisy suburbs I’ve seen. I don’t know what the fuck you talking about. Quiet don’t mean safe either. A Area can be quiet but dangerous.. to very dangerous. Most places and most of the dangerous nebirhoods in cities and cities are quieter
What I miss the most about Detroit- sense of community. I’ve always worked two jobs. At night as a server/bartender. Getting off of work, sitting on mine or neighbors porch sipping on a strohs (😂😂) and just talking about life, politics, kids!! The people make Detroit!
It’s a great place to be
Anton, I'm so glad I found this! My husband and I live in Manhattan right now - no kids, and LOVE the city life/urban environment with TONS to do within walking distance! We just found out my husbands job is relocating us to Detroit! Been looking into downtown Detroit, Royal Oak and Birmingham! Each time you were in downtown, I was trying to figure out where exactly because that was the exact scene we are looking for!!!
That’s so awesome! You’d love downtown Detroit... Midtown, Corktown, etc. let me know if you need any additional information 😉
Just saw this video and your comment. I realize it's a year old but I would suggest Farmington Hills, Novi, Wixom, Plymouth is nice. So many nice suburban areas to choose from! I hope by now you're settled in the "D" and enjoying yourselves :))
5:37 that guy said “is he talking to himself?” Lmao
😂
I live across the water from Detroit in Windsor canada. Love going over to detroit especially with all the new things popping up there. Would love to live downtown there as a young person (im 20 years old currently)
You’d love it
Are you an American expat or Canadian citizen?
His points were informative. It all depends on how you view your life and priorities. Personally I wouldn't mind a little bit of city and suburbs.
Yeah, I’m kinda in between at the moment also
You are definitely a city person :) To me its very obvious and that's cool. I lived in the city for 10 years and it was fun and I can see the appeal. There was always something going on, and it was cool seeing all the action all the time.
For me, I am a country person at heart, and so was my dad. For his last years of life he bought a run down trailer and moved out into a forest in the middle of nowhere with his dogs. Although I don't think I would go that far, there is just something about being isolated that I love, and I have no idea why.
I hope you are happy in your life, and this was a cool video :)
Thanks friend and I hope all is well. I am definitely a city person. I like being engulfed and surrounded by people and that whole lifestyle.
Excellent video! Really informative, and the visual of doing a pros and cons in the places you're talking about really helps. I feel still stuck with one foot out of the crazy city environment of NYC and then sadness I feel when I visit the suburbs part. I'm looking for an apartment now, and I'm completely torn, and it's confusing times with the pandemic. I will be moving solo for the first time in my life as a woman with a now-adult daughter and have lost close loved ones of late (not even covid related).
Great video Anton, thank you for your insights!
You’re very welcome
I think you understand the differences very well and agree with a lot of your comparisons great eye opener vid
I couldn't have agreed more! Both suburbs, and urban settings have their pros and cons, and It definetly depends on where you are in life; i.e: schools (k-12), work, lifestyle, etc. But for a 22 year old guy I do prefer the cities more so than suburbs nine times out of 10 because- I don't need a car; subways and buses are great, everything is conveniently located, job market is bigger than suburbs, and the culture differences is like night and day.
+Tracy Nine yeah, the suburbs isn’t for you. You would certainly enjoy yourself more in a large city. Thanks friend!
City life is much better. More freedom and convenience
I agree, I love the city
Finally someone else agrees
I live in the Suburbs of Detroit, but enjoy going to downtown Detroit events . Good and honest points you made for both sides .
Thanks friend
I moved to the Suburbs over two years ago to become a homeowner and a own better quality home then the city offered. Even though I'm not too far from anything the city has to offer, well the ease of having that entertainment and culture is definitely not here in the Suburbs. Sure I have to drive and I'm glad I can get best of both worlds, but I discovered I'm more of a city type guy than burbs dude. I was definitely more motivated and creative when I lived in the city. Great video!
Great video!
Awesome video! I live in Oakland county, but I frequent downtown Detroit a lot
Great perspective.....
Spectacular video! Im in Philly...looking to move to either Detroit or San Diego...You really present the positive sides of Detroit. Interested in the inside views of the neighborhoods. Seen and lived in the worst and the best of Philly. Want urban...but not the hefty crime of Philly. Love diversity and beauty. Got alot of confidence of where the New Detroit is heading. Thanks again and your lady is awesome too! Take care and God bless...
Thank you PEPPER! I appreciate the feedback. I'm actually in the process of filming documenting the inside views of neighborhoods right now.
Great pros and cons presented here! Very accurate!
🙏🏾
thank you for this video ,
Hello and thanks for sharing
Thank you too... hopefully I've added value.
Hey, thanks for this. I'm from the suburbs of Detroit, but I really like the city, and I was looking for a way to introduce the different environments to my students in China. This is perfect! :)
You're welcome
I like how you got to the point.
Audience, you are RIGHT. I live in the suburbs too, and paid to send my son to private school. It's very low crime, and peaceful to ride your bike, walk, jog, or just have your children out and about. I will not live downtown, too many unseen dangers, vagrants, thieves, and mental consumers. I love all people. People would like to park and enjoy a downtown festival or ball game, without having their cars broken into. City versus suburbs definitely has its advantages and disadvantages.
Thanks for sharing
I’m from nyc trying to get a house in the suburb area great video have a better understanding
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Excellent video! I've lived in the country all of my life. Oakland county. As empty nesters now, we're considering moving to Detroit. A major lifestyle change and it scares me. However, the suburbs are so incredibly boring, but they have there good points. I love nature. I'm very torn over this decision. Thank you for your insights. Well done!
You’ll love the city
Very dope video and great points thank you!!!
Thanks love
You're welcome hun. I'm thinking about moving back to Michigan I was born and raised there. I've been in Atlanta 15 years I miss home lol.
Jazzy Brooks I think you’ll love what Detroit has become.
@@AntonDaniels yes I've heard so many good things this just reiterated it. I just don't miss the snow lol
I live down in Toledo. Here, every residential area has very low property value. It's more of an Ohio thing, but houses here in the urban areas can go for around $5,000 to $60,000... The suburbs are way better. I'd kill to live in Ottawa Hills.
Really 🤔
@@AntonDaniels yes its true
bro my city Issaquah washington is suburban but the property cost is really high also im not trying to flex I genuinely hate living in this city there's nothing good about it
As somebody who grew up in Cincinnati, I think that the suburbs are much more comfortable than the city. I prefer a place with less people in general. I hate big buildings and pollution which isn't that bad in Cincinnati but in Cleveland and parts of Columbus it is more of a problem as well as crime.
I’m certainly more of a city person.
Suburbs can be more polluted because of more cars
Your video was pretty pretty good. As soon as I finish college in New York City I’m definitely moving out to the suburbs...
Thanks friend. I take it you’re tired of inner city life?
@@AntonDaniels I sort of am. Especially with COVID.
Very good comparison! I have a strong love for being in the heart of the city! I lived and went to college in Baltimore City and once I graduated I moved to Horn Lake, Mississippi (A suburb of Memphis)! Most of time spent was in a car because I basically did everything such as working out, shopping, dining, and bar hoping in Memphis! Cities in my opinion have more to offer especially if you are single with no children!
Every day we’re plotting to rid ourselves of cars and move into the ❤️ of the city
good video. Im moving to Detroit in 3 months. Good info
You’re welcome
wow incredible
Thanks
Yes I’m tired of food chain restaurants! Give me small own, city own restaurants and festivities in the city anyday
I'm with you.
Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. I'm ALWAYS wondering exactly what the attraction is to urban living. My son lives in Boston for the sake of a good paying career, but it seems the aspects of urban life you like, are tolerated by him for the sake of that "career".
He was raised where I still live, in a suburb of Cleveland. Good schools, very low cost of living, little crime to speak of, no paying to park anywhere, in the seventh largest retail center of Ohio. The city is a 25 minute drive away, if we want to partake of the "energy", but I honestly prefer, actually cherish, peace & quiet. The fewer people I have to rub elbows with, the better.
My son & daughter-in-law haven't started a family yet, but I pray they can find a nice suburb to live in when they do. Boston is certainly a nice place to visit, but... Well, different strokes I guess.
Thanks Again!
0rnery it's so interesting to hear your perspective after watching the video because it speaks to the exact mindset of what I am currently tackling at the moment.
It's always awesome to hear other people's perspective on the subject. And I can understand why you want them to live in a nice quiet suburb. The city just calls out to you sometimes!
Same shit here. You want to walk around the neighborhood with your children or just a quiet walk, the city is definitely not the place. And even in this video you can tell the difference. Listen how the city is noisy and loud. The suburb IS QUIET.
Amazingly well done video, you just earned a new subscriber '
Thanks friend
I'm living in a town in England right now and always have been. Believe it or not I've dreamt to live in the suburbs in America. Towns in England are so corrupt now and you have no privacy. Houses are joint together, you can pretty much see all of your neighbours backyard. We have no space in the front, if you're lucky you will get a driveway to fit at max 1 vehicle. It really sucks but we gotta know that we're fortunate to not be homeless.
Wow, what a culture shift. I feel like we use too much space here in America. I’m obsessed with cities
Karen Sanders i think we have to plan better because i used to live in a house where all the houses had decent property but they weren’t spread out as much and you could take a 15 minute walk to downtown which was very convenient. I moved to the town next door because my family bought our own home where it was a lot less developed but had houses with larger property and one of the most annoying things was having to drive literally everywhere to get to a bank or to a grocery store because everything is so spread out and there is no parks or any central point where there’s a community/energy.
DUDE PREACH! I lived in Dagenham for a while when my parents were still getting approved for immigration back to the U.S. sometimes you don't even get a driveway or a designated parking spot that comes with your property. And the tenant authority... Holy shit theyre on point
Been watching your content for some weeks had a feeling you went to Cass for some reason 😂😂 I’m class of 2015
One thing you forget to mention is their effect on yourself. If you don’t have engaging work, suburbs slowly weaken and deaden your life force. They actually weaken you and make you slower. If there’s nothing to do, then over time you’ll just watch TV . And that is why I don’t recommend the suburbs for hardly anyone. Some people like piece and quiet, but you can usually find that in the city in areas. No reason to move to the suburbs. More materialistic things is not good for the individual, and not good for the society either
I agree and find myself super active in the city
Hi Anton I work in Warren but love downtown.
It’s awesome isn’t it!
We moved from the suburbs to the city (not downtown but with public transit to downtown) when we started a family. We couldn't stand the thought of raising our child in a car.
It’s such a headache. Luckily I have a place downtown now
... if your single the city is by far more fun ... be careful in both tho ...hold your head up and carry on ...
... if your thinking family and long time job or house terms ... go suburbs ...
Depends on your lifestyle, but this is pretty accurate.
I’m from the suburbs of philly and when I was 11 I moved to philly and I can say it is very different in the suburbs, one is not better than the other but they are just different.
That’s my perspective also... I guess it just depends on what you’re looking for.
Agreed!
The differences are so stark
Your videos are so well editited!
+Joe Dave thank you friend. I’m glad you enjoyed them
You have to be super rich to live in Zones 1 and 2 of major cities (esp in London) in England. That's what we call the city centre. Most people live in the suburbs here, and they certainly aren't all leafy green with large detached housing, unless you live in Wimbledon Village, Richmond, Kingston etc
🤔
I grew up in a major city in Massachusetts and the second I was able to I bought a house on a private lake on Cape Cod and I never looked back!!!! I’d never raise a kid in a city today....it’s just too crazy and teachers are overwhelmed to actually teach anything of value....oh yes we have crime on the Cape think about it are people going to break into houses in the city or vacation houses on the Cape??
🤔🤔🤔 all great points my friend
I live in chicago, but i love down town Area's ,wish i could move down town.
What’s holding you back?
That's it! I'm going back to the city.
Where are you currently?
@@AntonDaniels Took a break from the city life a while back, but just realized I didn't do a pro-con comparison.
Both have there story. The suburbs has nice houses and a beautiful view. The inner city has tremendous potential and if cleaned up real nice it really shines. Inner city for me.
I love the city also, but I’m not so sure it’s worth it anymore with everything going on today.
@@AntonDaniels Tell me about it. Growing up inner city I have wonderful memories that I treasure to this day. I have cousins who live in the suburb I would visit. We went to really places
@@AntonDaniels Accidently pressed comment, but we would go to resturants, crossroads, westroads mall. So I understand the suburb, but my heart is the inner city.
I also like the convenience of living in the city, however I just can’t afford it
Makes sense. I think the prices are becoming more reasonable now though.
Wow, suburbs in America is waay more different than in Sweden (for the most part). We have these nice suburbs with homes and backyards, but then we got these tall concrete apartments witch are also called suburbs even though theyre more of a City, because we still have everything here, such as stores and schools. The world is weird huh
Different place, different circumstances I guess
I prefer the European style where you don't have strict zones. Even in residential areas you have businesses which is nice because it keeps travel distances short.
Here in South Africa most people here live in the suburbs due to the Central business districts or in American terms Downtown is other way to expensive or way to dangerous.
i love your video my SO born raised in detriot grew up down the st from mashal matters basically not the greatest area. i was trying to get a feel for his territory. he moved to Wilmington nc and met me and I'm not a southerner I'm from Nebraska but i wanted to know more about why his city boy ness is acting up here in the south. ive lived in Wilmington for about 12 yrs now and he just moved here about 3 yrs ago soo yeah city boy meets the south.
So you can see what I’m saying
weidos😒
Im looking at moving up north. I been in the south my whole life. I want.my.kids to experience different cultures and environments. Besides my love for cold weather.
Culture is good, the cold 🥶 maybe not so much 😂
It depends which county you in.
Macomb-Oakland-wayne
suburbs for me, i am single.
Wow really? Most people in your position prefer the city
i did prefer, and lived in lived in heart of concrete jungle... now i prefer, suburb, its outskirts yet city..
I'm currently single and have ALWAYS preferred the suburbs. There is absolutely NOTHING the city has to offer me but headaches. Suburbs are quiet, much more laid back and I feel a hell of a lot safer. As a matter of fact I could meet the girl of my dreams in the city but if she wasn't willing to relocate to a rural or suburban environment then she can hit the road. I'm not staying in the city for ANYBODY. I'd rather work on a farm than live in one of those stupid overcrowded hellholes
@@godandthedevilbothsuck2688 Same. Im a city kid and I would cream my pants everytime I got the chance to visit family out in the burbs. I fell in love with the suburbs and have been in love since I was a child. I love how open and secluded the burbs are. More privacy, more space, more freedom to roam/explore, less crime. Doesn't get better than that lol. I despise concrete jungles!
@@painexotic3757 You sir have great tastes. I felt the exact same way as a child
I was thinking about opening up a restaurant because I'm about to become a business owner so yeah maybe i should put it down town.
I’m sure you could possibly find a good deal right now
I live in the suburbs but I commute to a massive city everyday it’s like a 45 minute drive each way
Nah, I’ll pass on that 😂
I’d take the burbs everyday. I don’t mind driving to the city when I want to have fun.
Same bro
I don’t live in Detroit anymore! I grew mostly in Sherwood Forest! When I tell people I’m from Detroit people either continue the conversation or they don’t don’t continue for their personal reasons.
I grew up in Sherwood Forest also. Detroit is evolving for the better.
@@AntonDaniels Don't know about this one...downtown Detroit is a totally different experience then neighborhood Detroit, I'll stick with Oakland Twp love the peace and quiet.
Bro the suburbs are not boring there are PLENTY of things to do as long as your in a good town. There are so many fun events, festivals, and activities to do everywhere. People always talk about driving everywhere but it’s really only like a 5-10 minute drive to stores and restaurants. Also I live like 45 minutes away from Chicago so I can always do some city stuff from time to time. But in the city it’s just crazy the noise gets very annoying and it smells. People smoke weed every freaking where it’s absolutely disgusting everywhere bro when I go to the city for a day I’m like alright I did what I wanted to lemme get home I’m tired as hell. There’s barely any space for outdoor activities like soccer and other sports and there are hardly any backyards If any. It’s very dangerous in the city as well especially in specific parts and many weird things going on. It’s expensive and all you get is an apartment while in the suburbs you get huge houses with backyards. There is also a ton of traffic and everyone is in a hurry. But enough with the bad stuff about cities there are always things to do you’re a walking distance away from anything and there are many opportunities. Some parts of cities are well protected and it’s more lively. There are also sports events concerts and much more. The museums are very fun and it’s very lively with all the people around. Overall I prefer suburbs I grew up there and every thing is calmer and I just need a break sometimes. The suburbs where I live have mostly everything the city has and I’m more of an introvert so I don’t need to go to an event or somewhere fun every week I’ll just plan some stuff to do with family or friends every once in a while. The city is right for some people but I can’t handle more then a day there it’s just WAY too crazy.
You should make a video about reasons to move to Detroit. Some of the pros are the redevelopMichigan Central Train Depotment such as Ford buying the Michigan Central Train Depot (They're going to invest almost 800 million dollars into Corktown), the two skyscrapers that are being built right now (Hudson & Monroe block), The construction of the new bridge between Windsor and Detroit, $100 million park that's going to be developed on the riverfront. There are more projects, I feel like the development of these projects will help revive the outer neighborhoods.
It's coming soon... very soon
cities are designed to be efficient and highly commercialized, suburbs are more for space and privacy.
Correct, and I am certainly a city guy.
I'm a CITY DWELLER ... grew UP IN above DECENT neighborhood ( university district) bought a duplex in North End ( my 1st home ) NEVER EVER had an issue other than a lawn mower was stolen out of my garage , was there from 82 to 2010 sold it 2015 the interest was THICK ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE ( never one problem while it sat unoccupied) NOW I’m in Green Acres area another fine area , as YOU STATED DETROITs MAIN PROBLEM UNFORTUNATELY IS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ( for families that need them )for there kids
This is an accurate description of life in those areas
Both have their pros and cons
Burbs is nice if you like quietness and being alone, but for everyone else, it can be very boring.
We need more missing middle housing!!!
Suburbs 👍🏾
I’m more of a city guy myself
💪💪
🙌🏾
It’s so interesting to me how the noise of the city is a negative thing to a lot of people. To me the noise is a sign of life, that people are doing all kinds of things and that there’s all kinds of possibilities around you. The quiet of the suburbs=monotony, boringness; you always know what to expect.
Bro the suburbs are not boring there are PLENTY of things to do as long as your in a good town. There are so many fun events, festivals, and activities to do everywhere.

You're talking downtown. I grew up on the neighborhoods of Detroit. It was nice when I was a kid, it got worse and worse until they just shut the street lights off for good, cops stopped responding to calls, and it got dangerous quick. Today, it's no different. I wouldn't raise a family in Detroit and wouldn't submit my wife to that type of danger. I avoid Detroit like the plague now because if/when I get robbed, the cops won't even come. I was in the suburbs, but now I'm almost an hour outside of the D. I will never go back.
Sorry to hear that. I was raised in the neighborhoods of Detroit also. Hopefully things work out for you. However, things have changed significantly in the city. Have a great day.
@@AntonDaniels Thanks. I hope things work out for you too. I'm sure they will, you have a good attitude, that'll go a long way. I've been back to my 'hood a number of times over the years. It's still not a place I'd walk at night. I think what they are doing downtown is great, but they gotta get the neighborhoods safe or this is all for nothing.
I'm from BRONX NY and I moved to a suburb in Pennsylvania and it's boring and there's a lot of crime and new York citys school department is better than any other school in America
lil youtuber I can imagine how coming from the Bronx and moving to a suburb would be. The differences are crazy.
+Anton Daniels NYC is tge best!
I would think newyork would have more crime ?
Detroits population is under 1 million so the crime rate is considered higher or somthing
@@lilve4215 it does
This is a great compariosn but from places I've seen I know there's a different types of suburbs. Some of them are more urban as far as activities and festivals and having like a "downtown" area. Not necessarily like downtown in the middle of a city but still like a downtown block where there still is a lot of energy in and if you live one or two streets off of that then it you have your quiet suburban feel but you walk a couple blocks and your on the more energetic "downtown" strip or street within the suburbs. Not all suburbs are built equal. That said there are still certain things that are suburban even in the more urban types of suburbs. Transportation is still mainly by individual car and not by proper public transportation options, and it still doesnt quite have the energy of a big city. But it may serve as a good type of living in some of those more urban types of suburbs for someone who wants something that's inbetween the calm of a suburb and the energy of a city. This tends to be the case especially around here in the bay area and silicon valley in California. San Francisco is the only true city I would say but a lot of the suburbs have energy and have downtown areas that have things like art galleries or cool independent cafes and restaurants.
I'm definitely a city guy at heart, but with everything going on in most large cities today, I think I'm going to opt for the suburbs at this point.
Well you know,living in the city you know you have to survive,keep a dream alive,everything is free,cant you see?
🤷🏾♂️
Isn’t that Oakland Community College? Highland Lakes Campus? I go there for college! Wow! What a small world lol 😂
Puppy Cuteness sure is... you live pretty close!
Anton Daniels Yes sir! I live in Oakland County.
Holla at ya
What's going on
Grew up in Brightmoor married a girl from Corktown now we live in Westland
She wanted to live in the suburbs I ant mad at her Love what you do
Not a bad choice... depends on the type of lifestyle you want.
As a millennial, my main family goal in life is to not have more kids than I can afford 🥴😂 because I definitely want to put them in private school. I wouldn't even waste my time putting them in public schools in the burbs because they're all dealing with similar problems as city schools
That's really smart. That's why I only have one child.
I’m visiting Detroit today to get a feel of the area and possibly move there... I’ve been thinking about Troy MI.. i do have a 16yr son, so do you have any suggestions?
Downtown Detroit or if you’re looking for the suburbs, he’ll like Royal Oak or something like that
Anton Daniels thanks
Detroit is amazing but don’t enroll your son into dps unless it’s Cass or ren high
@@AntonDaniels is royal oak it's own city? Or is royal oak in Detroit?
Moses Alexander Royal Oak is it’s own city just outside of Detroit across 8 mile
Hello
I've lived in both the city and the suburbs, I don't make enough money to live in downtown Detroit and had to settle with living just outside Highland Park which is definitely not the best area. I would be happiest in an inner ring suburb like Ferndale which has an urban feel but is safer than Detroit.
Detroit residents help me here...this side of Detroit looks awesome. Where is that other place which has the $1 houses??
There aren't any $1 houses
Hey Detroit people! Do you have any advices for buying a remodeled house in the suburbs? I'm asking 'cause I'm about to invest in one but I don't know the area since I only live in California...
You should come here and check out the market
It will Definitely be cheaper than California... Except INSURANCE ! We have the highest rates in the U.S.!
Would u say its easier to meet people downtown or in the suburbs?
Downtown definitely. There are just more people, easier to link up with and they are looking to meet others just like you.
Once you're married and have children, you won't care about that.
Joe mariconadas, yea but by the way things are looking that wont happen anytime soon. I recently moved to a city where i dont know anyone for a job & i got no one to hang out with after work or during weekends here in the suburbs. Im always at the mall buying things i dont need just to get out of my place but u dont really meet friends shopping at the mall. I didnt think my social life would be like that after college.
Jeremiah makaveli you need to spend time in the city, where you can meet more people and align yourself with people that are like you. I’m telling you, the suburbs ain’t for everyone
Downtown, midtown, and eastern market are the main hot spots
If ur just going between the suburbs and downtown then its beutiful but going through the neighborhoods you start to see how much the city doesnt care and how the city only focuses or downtown and the freeways leading to the suburbs the schools r so bad bc the money is being focused downtown and the only reason Cass Tech is so good is bc its downtown
I'm a single middle aged man without kids.i hate living down town.i hate the city life.i'm planning move into a rental house out in the suburbs in a few years from now.I'm both a homebody and introvert.i hate loud places.i love quiet and peaceful places.i hate having close neighbors.i'm a very private guy.
Born and raised in NYC but thinking of moving to Detroit sight unseen. Well, a suburb of Detroit.
City Life is overrated at the end of the day. Time to buckle up and buy property and build off of it
548 Primrose Lane Detroit, Michigan USA
Those who saw it will know what I am referring to.
Never lived downtown Detroit. Grew up most of my life hazel park. 8 mile/ dequindre. However, I lived back and forth between 8 mile-7mile dequindre. I love downtown Detroit. Hamtramck! Love the different cultures, all the different people/opinions- food, the noise!! Love Detroit. I left due to the crime. 😭 lost too many friends and family. I live in Grand Rapids now- ughh. People are just different & not in an interesting way. No sense of personal space, racist, ignorant- I am home sick!!
When are you coming back?
My other half (from Muskegon heights) refuses to raise our children on the east side of the state. I even proposed Berkley or Southfield. We are moving to Orlando Fl. Promise you this, I will retire in Hamtramck or Hazel Park!!! We both want better for our kids. There is a wonderful area in the Grand Rapids area: kentwood. So many different cultures- I work with refuges. My kids attend a school that graduated students from over 60 countries. Please keep your videos coming!!
@@salenamarie507 I've lived around the same area, of all the places I lived I enjoyed Ferndale the most especially if you're close to downtown Ferndale. I'm in Madison Heights now which I don't care for but you got to live somewhere.
I’ve never been there but at the local radio station here in California, the DJ’s were giving the winner of the sweepstakes, a one week trip, all expenses paid, to Detroit. The loser got two weeks in Detroit.
Not worried about others. We love our city just as it is.
The suburbs are for old people 50+ who are settled. Small towns are for small minded people.
You sound like a child
If I want the arts, a concert/ sporting event, excitement or a schedule 2 narcotic I will venture into the city otherwise I will definitely choose the suburbs.
And drive everywhere... no thank you
(Cont'nd)
well i say....ENOUGH!!!
i DESERVE better than this. a chance of a better life,
a nice, quiet, safe & peaceful one at that.
here in Detroit, there is no life in "the hood".
hell, this is no life for anyone.
'cause no matter where i go, no matter what i do
in detroit, ....i don't belong.
that's why it's important for me to move to the 'burbs.
to change everything.
-my environment
-my atmosphere
-all of it.
the reason(s) why i'm moving to the burb's
are these reasons:
-to start a new life
-to fell safe and be happy
& most best of all
-to live...in peace
the peace that i had while i was growing up living
in Detroit has long been since robbed, shattered and denied from me
(thanks to the things [& people] discussed in my last comment).
but that's why i'm trying to escape from detroit
to the suburbs, TO SET EVERYTHING RIGHT!!
i know, i can't take back the innocence that i lost,
but what i *can* do, is ensure that all the s**t that
i've been through, NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!!
also because i wan't to be married one day
(to a white woman [#dontjudgeme])
and have (4) kids. i want to raise my family
in such a peaceful environment. they deserve better
than this.
whatever it takes, i have to do it
..........for the sake of a better future.
I have a question: Which cities in USA is an exception from rule 'Black inner cities, white suburbs'?
+Joanna Janusz I think the inner city is more of a figure of speech that speaks to the less affluent parts of the city, versus the downtown areas. Specific cities, I can’t really speak to. What are your thoughts?
Oh Sorry, I wrote it bad. The rule ‘Black inner cities, white suburbs’ applies to most of the American cities. Which of the following cities is an exception from this rule?
Do you can help me with contest about America?
@@joannajanusz3147 I would have to say Atlanta has a lot of blacks in the suburbs
@@joannajanusz3147 Charlotte, Raleigh,altanta,Houston,Dallas,Flagstaff, Wilmington DE,etc. These cities do have hoods don't get me wrong. But the suburbs and nicer areas of the city are much more diverse then more segregated cities like NYC, Boston, Detroit, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Every city in New Jersey lol. These cities are where the black inner city, rich white suburbs sayings come from. And they are indeed true!
It's some pretty horrible suburban schools too!!!
That’s correct, but there is usually no comparison to the inner cities
