Ville de Detroit... incroyable.

[cjb]

tu serais surpris habsfan, le rendement sur un crack house est très intéressant.

 

20,000 $ la maison, 2,000$ de crack, 1,000$ d'armes, 2,000$ de publicité, et voilà t'es en affaires !!

En plus, avec si peu de voisins, tu peux blaster la musique autant que tu veux sans avoir de plaintes!

[Habsfan]

C'est vraiment pathétique!

[MTLskyline]

Oui mais, est ce que tu voudrais vraiment vivre dans un trou comme Détroit???

Hmm, pense-tu que c'est possible que la ville connaitra une rennaissance?

Pas pour au moins les 20 prochaines années!

The worst of it is that these were pretty nice homes before. Similar to what we'd find in our upper-middle class areas.

Crime is unevenly distributed throughout the city. A 2006 study showed crime in downtown Detroit (CBD) is much lower than national, state and metro averages.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-MIC_2-0">[3]</sup> The Detroit Police Department's Crime Analysis Unit has reported that crimes have dropped by 24 percent since the introduction of casino gaming to the city.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Wilkes_3-0">[4]</sup> Murders peaked in 1974 at 714 and again in 1991 with 615 homicides. By the end of 2007, the homicide count fell to 394 for the year, with an FBI estimated population of 860,971.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4">[5]</sup> According to a 2007 analysis, Detroit officials noted that about 65 to 70 percent of homicides in the city were confined to a narcotics catalyst.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-analysis_5-0">[6]</sup>

 

Parts of the city have abandoned and burned out shells of buildings. The city has seen increased funding to demolish abandoned properties and the homes that have been used for the production, sale, and use of illicit drugs, with drug gangs such as Young Boys Inc.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference">[13]</sup>

The city had faced many arsons in abandoned homes each year on Devil's Night, the evening before Halloween. The Angel's Night campaign, launched in the late 1990s, draws many volunteers to patrol the streets during Halloween week. The effort reduced arson: while there were 810 fires set in 1984, this was reduced to 442 in 1996.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference">[14]</sup>

Many of these problems have been blamed on the increased white flight and court-ordered busing to desegregate its schools during the 1970s which contributed to urban decay, poverty, increased unemployment, and de facto segregation of the inner city.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference">[15]</sup> The city was largely emptied of its remaining white population by 1980. Although "Renaissance" has been the city's phrase for development since the 1970s, many have charged Mayor Coleman Young with a polarizing style that accelerated the white flight. During the administration of Dennis Archer, who succeeded Young, Detroit saw middle-class residents moving into the city, and growth in residential and commercial development. The city has improved in the early 21st century, making use of increased funding from the state to demolish condemned buildings. <sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference">[16]</sup>

No doubt about it. Detroit used to be a beautiful city back in the 40's and 50's. Lots of great architecture that was just let go to waste!

Diminution de la population de 50%, diminution des meurtres de 40%... donc augmentation de 20% des homicides par habitant?
