You are very mistaken, unfortunately.Truthfully, Detroit’s crime rate was far less than other cities from last year.

Wow - you accept every ounce of bullshit the politicians sell hook, line & sinker, don't you?As far as the neighborhoods, that’s already being addressed. There’s major development planned or are already being worked on for several big time neighborhoods. Detroit does have a 20 year plan, so it’s safe to say it’s going to be in far better shape in 2041.
I would agree insofar as downtown, midtown and the east side riverfront are concerned. Perhaps Corktown, too. The rest of the city? It's the same shithole it's always been.It’s come a mighty long way since 2001. This isn’t just an opinion. These are actual facts.
By the way, the so-called downtown Detroit "studio" is nothing more than some glass walls, a small anchor desk and two cameras in the lobby of the Chase Building on Woodward Ave. I used to visit that building regularly.
I always thought it was incredibly moronic that the station would force an anchor - who probably lives in Oakland County or NW Wayne County - to drive from Southfield all the way to downtown just so the Noon newscast could be broadcast from that fish bowl. All for something that almost assuredly has zero impact on ratings and minimal impact on ad revenue.
Speaking of the Chase Building, I guess the efforts of Gilbert's cronies to rename that building "The Qube" didn't stick.
Now that Mr. Gilbert has changed the name of his mortgage lending company yet again, does this mean the Q-Line will soon be renamed the Rocket Line?
I hope by some miracle Detroit is indeed in far better shape 10 to 20 years from now, especially the neighborhoods. I just am having a very hard time picturing anything other than minor improvement at best.
