CMRI runs an elementary school down in Detroit.
:detective:
Maybe I should consider moving there.
God bless the CMRI!
Detroit has a very high crime rate, that is why you can get houses for $1,000 in some neighborhoods.
There are abandoned homes all over the place.
In fact, the city government is seriously considering "shrinking" the city -- literally taking developed land and turning it back into parks/farmland so the city can withdraw and regroup.
Also, they are considering creating "no man's land" areas, where police won't enter. Sounds like something out of a dystopian sci-fi novel, doesn't it?
Last, but not least, here are some interesting facts about the population of Detroit:
The census reported that the city had 82.7% African American (82.1% non- Hispanic black), 10.6% White (7.8% non-Hispanic white), 1.1% Asian, 0.4% Native American, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 3.0% other races
You read that right -- white folk are the "minorities" there! Call me crazy, but no thanks.
