For now. The huge supply of foreclosed homes has made it affordable for many Detroiters to move to the suburbs. It is only a matter of time as their culture engulf them as they have the ring suburbs.
Happening in Greater Atlanta too. I have lived this...first it's decent folks you don't mind and everyone wonders what the fuss was about but then more follow and home prices decline further as the more saavy(or racial to some) start moving out and then you and the decent folks who first integrated leave together for greener pastures again.
and hispter kids move into re gentrification areas that were once more "hood" in their naivete but they get cold feet and leave themselves in time after a mugging or babies.
American demographic cycles are so telling of which way the nation..culture and votes go.
“The huge supply of foreclosed homes has made it affordable for many Detroiters to move to the suburbs. It is only a matter of time as their culture engulf them as they have the ring suburbs.”
Exactly. My neighborhood is no longer a neighborhood. It is now just a ‘hood. It is still mixed race, but we are getting the influx of ghetto and white trash idiots trying to “upgrade.” Yet they have brought their crap with them and now we all get to live like slobs.
It is quite maddening.
Everyone is moving to northern Oakland and Macomb counties or Livingston County. The White Flight keeps on pressing out further while the crap diffuses out of the inner city. There’s actually some gentrification going on in Detroit city limits in Corktown and Midtown. You can still nuke the Eastside and Brightmoor from orbit though. Delray is a ghost town.
My parents live north of Brighton and have done so for 10 years. Difficult for the entitlement class to get established out there. No beachhead like Detroit, Flint or Pontiac to spread their cancer out from. The inner ring suburbs are going to hell though.
