Also no useful public transit. The People Mover is a joke and the busses are famous for being hours late / just not showing up. The infra used to be decent when the auto mfgs were around there and out in Southfield where some bigger office buildings were, but they haven’t kept up with the times in terms of connectivity (why would they with no one to use it?). Housing is cheap but who would want to live there? Not much to do, not many cool smart people to hang out with, winters are awful, food scene mostly sucks, music scene is decent if you love really underground stuff and noise / screamo / UG electronic (esp house), schools are awful, nature has tons of mosquitos from all the lakes, lots of lakes if you’re into boating (and lake cabins are like $50k), skiing sucks (no mountains), airport sucks and is far away + Delta took over so if you want non-stop to anywhere expect to pay at least $400, Chicago is a long drive but doable for weekends (again no train which could be an hour on high speed rail, it’s less than 300 miles but flying takes as long as driving due to airports and transport on both ends)… Yeah, Detroit…nah.
