I was looking for something completely different. But I'll be sure to bookmark it. You all should come and live in Farmville Virginia :-). It's nice and not dangerous at all. That proves your point that when you know your neighbours it improves safety. Cuz here in Farmville everybody knows eachother. But believe me, it has its downsides :).

Painfully, it is not a priority," says Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney Kym L. Worthy. "I wish that those with the resources would view domestic terrorism like they do terrorism across the water. It used to be that we were keeping our head above water and treading quickly. Now we are drowning, and no one seems to really care. All they tell me to do is cut some more."

When the market tanked, homeowners suddenly found themselves with properties worth far less than the mortgages they'd taken out. In the worst cases, banks foreclosed, leaving people without homes--and with more debt than they'd had to begin with. As a result, Sin City is even emptier than Detroit.

Basically we can't go out walking in the neighborhood we live only by car. Many people get shot. The only thing that keeps me sane is thinking about angels surrounding my kids. In the last year on the street I live 6 friends of mine have been robbed at gunpoint. i hear gunshots and screams in the middle of the night. I just pray that I can leave this area soon. Even though I live on the 12th floor it's just really shocking to be around such violence. I don't watch news or violent movies because they will just make me cry. Anyways I like your crush for the week ;-) All the best, Eren Hey John,

The report ranks 393 American cities in six different categories -- murder, rape, burglary, robbery, aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft.

I also think that the media has a lot to do with how aware of crime we are, since all the morning headlines are about murders that have been committed that night. I myself live in the country,and do know a few neighbors, but am not on a first name basis with many of them. With the advent of the Internet, is seems like I am more likely to be holed up for the winter like a bug in a rug. I think you are right about not knowing your neighbors.

It's sad how the city has deteriorated but there are some pretty cool people there too. I've always enjoyed the city and have had little trouble in Detroit. I'm hoping they can keep getting rid of the crooks running the city (jailing politicians) and start cleaning up the streets. I have some pictures that look like war zones from as recent as last year. I still have hope for Detroit but it's going to take years. Great point about knowing your neighbors John. That's one of the things that separate a community and a neighborhood.
