Question is Detroit really as bad as some images/photo journalists portray?

Makes Buenos Aires's notorious Rust Belt look tame.

I was reading this (community led regeneration)

http://detroitworksp...?ref=dfc��which is very positive about a future

and wondered if there is a native who can confirm/deny/give insight

thanks!

I grew up in a northern suburb of Detroit and now live about an hour west of Detroit. I was not able to access the links you included. Detroit as a city is in bad shape. There are a lot of areas in the actual city that I would not drive through during the day. That said - there are some positive things in Detroit and some good surrounding suburbs. As with most large cities you have to take the bad with the good. If you are going there for a visit, do your research and know where you are going ahead of time.
