Are the emergency services still really slow and the property taxes reasonably high? Because if so.... Not much of a comeback. Would be like comparing Greenpoi

- dataminded 8y agoYes and yes. My last two attempts to call 911 failed because nobody would pick up. My alarm company was on hold to get to the police department for like 15+ minutes. Taxes are insane compared to what I would pay in a suburb that provided basic services and decent schools. I live in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Detroit but will likely leave it for the burbs in the next year. Detroit just isn’t affordable for a young family.

- anoncoward111 8y ago"Even though I live in an area that is ethnically similar to Detroit, and also has high taxes vis-a-vis household income, I am fortunate that I still can expect an ambulance to show up at my house, unlike Detroit." There is nothing more sinister implied.
