All good points. I sometimes think it would make more sense for companies to skip Detroit and just open an office in Royal Oak or Ferndale. I would work there in a heartbeat.

Ferndale, Royal Oak, Birmingham (anything on woodward north of Detroit) are great places to live/work

Ferndale and Royal Oak don't really have white collar office jobs.

At any rate. The state of Detroit is extremely Depressing. It's the region's major city!

This is just not correct -- plenty of white collar jobs in Royal Oak. There are an abundance of creative/web design shops within downtown Royal Oak area itself.

not true at all... Just last week I saw a sign for WambaTech being put up in downtown Royal Oak - http://www.wambatech.com
