Ya i dont think Detroit is safer than anywhere in Scandinavia for that matter any larger MSA in the US.. we have more murders in any of these cities in a month than they will have in 10 years.. 

Threatening to murder you seems like a being a nuisance--and that's an understatement.Perhaps you should discuss with an Attorney the possibility of getting a restraining order.Good Luck!

Very mysterious.

Detroit and Chicago are quite alike:Both are about 2 years away from bankruptcy-Detroit 2 years past no longer has Damocles sword hanging overhead.Chicago 2 years future IT's still coming and you don't know when.Both have high crime rates:Detroit Murder rate is going down Chicago murder rate is going upDetroit has houses worse than most cities in the country BUT it also has houses better than most cities in the country all inside Detroit city limits.

@Scott KWhen I first bought properties in Detroit and told people I was moving up here, I was told by at least 10 different people that Detroit was the murder capital of the US.

If the city would get up to any type of standard my properties on the outskirts would go up in value.But you can't deny that in 2013 it was the murder capital of the country. 

@Anthony LiguoriThat zip code is affectionately known as the murder factory in KC.

46218 was the most dangerous zip code in the state in the terms of murders and crime.

It isn't that uncommon really IMHO.Now, if there was a quadruple murder in the house....well that draws a certain crowd....

This tax murders your ability to mask your fee to both buyer and seller via double close (in which case you technically did buy the property).
