Police are very aggressive, crooks are mean and cold hearted. Surprisingly there is only a hand full of murders each year--compare to 400 plus in Detroit
That was my home town, left when i was 8. Livonia is the next city west, its better to great--again the farther west you go.
I still go in to Redford, there is a great meat market on Joy rd, been there "forever", think its called joyview market ? There was a pep boys but it was shut down years ago--believe all their workers and "customers" stole too much stuff
There is reds spring shop for leaf spring repairs--lots of body shops--got my first job at one of them.
The 7/11 on the main rd--telegraph--gets held up like every few months, lol but those are open 24/7...some young escort got in an argument with some dude around her age--early 20's. Was at some cheap motel, she got shot dead, the dude claims she grab the gun and it just went off, he is going to trail soon
Lots of stuff happens around there and it is safer then Detroit believe it or not. You can pump gas at night and not have problems--most often--unlike Detroit
The police have been known to bully folks around--like some dude was getting rob and he was legally carrying a gun and he fired a shot in the air and the crooks ran off--the police arrested HIM and it took much up cry for the charges to be dismissed..they wanted him to plea to a lesser charge and he flatly refused
You always see the cops park sneaky waiting to jump on the first minor traffic infraction..Livonia cops are the same way.
Its a step up from Detroit..bet you can get a great deal on a home right now and those older homes are built well, not no cheap wooden shack but nice brick homes from the 1960's
edit....if that's too much detail--sorry but its all fairly new, in the past year or so. I say its a great buy and a moderate risk living there. Not a dull town or a rip off to live there.
