On one side, there are dilapidated houses, gardens overflowing with weeds and a high crime rate.
On the other, there are streets filled with spacious homes, well-manicured lawns and yoga studios.
This is one of numerous fences that have been erected by the wealthy 'haves' of the Michigan suburb of Grosse Pointe Park to 'prevent 'have-nots' from Detroit from driving into the city'.
The brick barrier, reading 'Road Ends', represents a significant divide between the two cities, which despite their proximity, differ greatly in terms of average salary, crime rates and general desirability.

im guessing one side works for a living and the other doesn’t.
I don’t see a problem with it.
Too bad a similar fence can’t be built on the southern border.
I don’t see a problem with it either. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t build a fence, I’d build a dammed wall.
Another great article from an overseas news source. It’s sad that if we want to get balanced news reporting we have to refer to the Europeans because we sure as hell know our media is in the back pocket of the Democratic Party.
Improve the wall:
Moat, mines, alligators.
Make shiny rims illegal on one side.
Doggone right there is nothing wrong with it.
Gated communities have much lower crime rates. They have their share of bleeding heart liberals who grouse about other things, but then retreat behind those gates to keep the unwashed masses at bay.
Communities that don’t put up gates but have a robust “no-nonsense” approach to crime and general anti-social behavior also have lower crime.
Both are decried as racist by the perpetually aggrieved.
A common chant at the Ferguson Charlie Foxtrot is:
“If they don’t give us our (feces), we shut (feces) down.”
Obama will soon send armed officers of one of the alphabet agencies to break down that wall, and lift the travel ban the makers have enacted against the takers.
It’s not fair, after all!
Would you put turrets on it?
What else can they do when one thing those have-nots don’t have — is civility.
Let’s pass a law to take all of these fences down, starting in DC!
Who wouldn’t want to keep crime out of their neighborhood?
Is this where Michael Moore lives?
This is the coming living environment in the US as it descends into a Third World country. Gated communities for the well-off while the poor scrounge for government benefits. Demography is destiny.
The horrors! The fence is hurting the poor folks! The wealthy should be setting up their guest rooms and invite them over with free run of the house and credit cards.
He's so rich he has a wall, guards and a lake to keep the Haves away from the Have-Moores.
And the side that works votes for Democrats.
