Yeah just Detroit, that's why there are news articles from national organizations about it all over the Internet from the last 5 years, and when you start to type "lack of grocery" in goggle it automatically finishes with "in urban areas"

Gee, even a big enough problem that it's got it's own wiki page..

Get out of your fucking bubble people. I'm done with this shit. If you live in Michigan and have a medical card, but hate Detroit, fuck you, kill yourself. You wouldn't have MMJ in this state without Detroit and the metro area. Detroit passed medical along with Ann arbor in '06 and the liberal population of the city and metro suburbs are the reason statewide passed in '08. With out the 3 million socially liberal people here you guys would all still be criminals, or pussies to scared to grow weed, buying from your cousin's friend.

And in Oakland California this year the police were assiting the dea, fbi and ira in raiding oaksterdam, while a gunman was shooting people at a school two miles. Away? What the fuck is your point?

When did I say I hated Detroit? I'd love to see that city revitalized. I'm in Ann Arbor and like it here, but I long for a bustling big city nearby. I've always been bummed it's a shithole. But the thing is, fixing problems begins with acknowledging that they exist. Detroit has HUGE issues that need some very drastic action to deal with. I feel sorry for the people that live there. They're poor and have to fight hard just to survive. It's a miserable place to live, and I strongly believe in the good in most people. But there are a lot of assholes on a rampage who are completely unchecked, and the things a big city should have and truly needs, Detroit lacks.
MMJ would've passed without Detroit. 3 million voted yes, 1.8 million voted no. That's a difference of 1.2 million. The population of Detroit is 700,000. You could've wiped Ann Arbor off the map too and it still would've passed. We owe gratitude to the entire state, though Detroit and Ann Arbor in particular. Detroiters know what it's like to get fucked by corporations and the government, as that's why that city is so fucked up right now. Usually leads to liberal perspectives...
The point stands that over 50% of Detroiters would leave tomorrow if they could afford it. A clear majority of Detroiters hate where they live. That says a lot. You're in the minority.
Regarding any possible increase in population from whites, it's probably because of the horrible economy and falling incomes - they're having to return to that dump because they can't afford to live anywhere else.
Honestly what has happened to Detroit makes my blood boil. It's on the same scale as what happened to New Orleans. It's completely inexcusable for a civilized society to let that shit happen. If I weren't able to laugh at things like that too, I would probably have lost my mind by now. I do care.

Oops, you're right, I misread your post. I'm very sleep deprived this week.
Every single county in the state voted for MMJ. You could've wiped Detroit and the Detroit metro area off the map, along with Washtenaw and Oakland county and it would've passed...

Subtracting Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county, you get the following numbers:
1,749,925 yes :: 1,177,138 no
total: 2,927,063 votes
60% yes, 40% no
Still a landslide. That's 1.5 yes votes for every no. The actual numbers were 63% yes and 37% no. Again, we owe our gratitude to the entire state.
Checkout their crime stats 
Chicago is indeed a very dangerous city, but it doesn't have Devil's Night, it doesn't have abandoned areas greater in size than Boston, and the murder solving rate is higher. The number of crimes reported is probably lower in Detroit, too. Detroit's financial problems and unemployment are also worse. I have a number of friends living in Chicago who love it there, (and I once lived there myself), but no one I know has any plans to linger in Detroit longer than they have to.
Well, you have a very ambiguous concept of racism, so vague and broadly generalizable as to be meaningless. People who pull the race card as freely as yourself are the reason people roll their eyes when someone screams "racist!" You're doing yourself and others of your race no favors by doing so.
And you did not provide any details of how I am somehow a racist, lol. Just... you fucking racist, you are pointing out problems in my city, and my city is mostly black, so you must hate blacks. Total nonsense. The majority of blacks living in Detroit agree with me, and disagree with you, seeing as they want out ASAP, so they must be some kind of Chapelle-esque deaf and blind Ku Klux Klanners, right? Honestly I think you're the first black guy I've met who was in denial about the existence of anti-white racism. You remind me of all the clowns who thought those who wanted Kilpatrick out of office were racist.
Either way, I really don't care if you want to keep living in what is widely considered one of the worst places in the country to be. If you like existing in a disaster zone, so be it. I'll keep living in Ann Arbor, where MJ is basically legal, and I can walk around at 4am without fear of getting shot or stabbed, and you can continue living there, where MJ laws are still enforced, and 911 calls for shots fired go unanswered for hours or days, if ever. Your choice, your problem. I just feel sorry for the people who want out and can't make it happen.
I'm not talking about a part of the city that lacks a decent grocery, I'm talking about a city that doesn't have one anywhere within the city limits, which is what the Free Press reported being the case last year. And once you resort to personal attacks you make it clear you have lost the debate, because it adds nothing to your argument and only makes you look foolish.

According to this, over the last decade, Detroit's murder rate has averaged 2-3x that of Chicago's, Detroit's assault rate has averaged 2-3x that of Chicago's, and Detroit's arson rate has averaged 5x that of Chicago's. Chicago also has 33% more cops per capita, and Detroit is about to lay off over 10% of their department. Median household income in Chicago is about 2x that in Detroit, and rent in Detroit is on average only about 15% more (the average rent in Ann Arbor is only 25% more than that of Detroit... I think it's more than worth it, especially since I don't need a car to get by here, and my commute is a 2 minute walk - saves a ton of money.) Official unemployment is 70% higher in Detroit, though the real figure is probably far greater, given how few even bother looking for a job anymore there.
