I'm a UM grad and I live in downtown Detroit. It's amazing: great culture, music, food, night-life, and I feel safe. I took our entire office to my place before a Tiger's game last week and now multiple people are looking into moving downtown and others are interested after that graduate.

Downtown might be okay. However, if you go outside just a little bit, you are in the danger zone. This isn't speculation.

Even 8 years go it was bad. I worked downtown and could regularly hear gunshots from my office during the day.
