Detroit is open carry stand your ground. Taxes are high compared to the rest of the state but low compared to someplace like NY.

My neighbor's grandson transferred to Detroit from NY a bit over a year ago and he likes it. He said it was like tripling his wages overnight. He bought a house for 60 grand that he couldn't look at for less than a quarter million in the NY area. Lots of his coworkers are landing in the same neighborhood and have cleaned it up pretty good. Quicken is even paying for private security to back up Detroit police in the neighborhood where some 1200 of their employees live.

Fatal self-defense shootings running high in Detroit

The police chief has basically said to fire at will if you're truly feeling threatened.

Refurbish the place and turn it into a shooting club.

Too cold for me, but having hit bottom I’m hoping Detroit can come back. If I were (much) younger I might think about going there. Sure hope gov does not screw up what appears to be a Detroit comeback. If the city is smart they will keep taxes and cost of living low to attract workers and employers!
