Detroit is quite a subject. It's entire history is kinda nuts honestly. Probably cursed. I blame the French.
The Shea Show is an amazing look at it from a real estate view.
Wherever you live, learn about it. What sustains the area? What will happen if that changes? Can you change with it or will you have to leave?
Don't get trapped in a dead city haunted by the living.

More on another American city going to shit, Indianapolis.
Nick Johnson yt video about Indy being full of crime is sort of interesting, he interviews what sounds like a burned out schizo about why the city's circling the drain, and they make some good points.
Indianapolis is now more dangerous that Chicago!!When you think about ghetto and dangerous cities in the midwest, you’re gonna think about Chicago, Cleveland...

I sometimes listen to Indianapolis' police scanner and it really does seem like everyone just pulls out a gun to win arguments there. Spouse leave the toilet seat up? Shoot them.
I've heard grumblings about the Indy judges and attorneys letting criminals off easy, so jail isn't even a threat since they know they'll be back on the streets in less than a week.
I hope the ones in charge of that city fix things soon. I like Indianapolis and I would hate for it to go up in flames before I can get back there again.
