Small world, i use to live Hazel Park. No one lives south of eight mile
now. Between Dequinder and Woodward, from eight mile to six mile, almost
ever home is burned out, no one lives there, that is four square miles of
completely vacant homes. Only the gangs rule there. Gun fire can be heard
every night from Hazel Park. They moved north into Hazel Park, Ferndale and
Madison Heights to extend their criminal empire. I am happy happy I moved
out twelve years ago. I sold my home for 90K, today is only worth 20K and
sits vacant today. If I waited just two more years I would have been
trapped in that ghetto having most of money tied in my home. Since I move
out cops have been killed and murders every year, muggings every night. You
have become immune to it. Where I live the worst thing that happens is
someone's mail box gets smashed by kids. Yea right, what is ordinary crime?

That Applebees restaurant is just four mile from eight mile. Too close for
me.

You know, the occasional burglary or spousal abuse.

Here's some data:

http://www.city-data.com/city/Madiso...-Michigan.html

Looks like crime is below average there. Mostly propery crime rather
than violent crime.

Well, I'm not as timid as you are. Neither, apparently, is my
76-year-old mother.
