I'm still trying to get my around AA's claim of zero crime..... in DETROIT!!!
I don't live "downtown" but if I put the name of the township I live in you'd have no clue where I live. Just like if you tell me you live in Ash Vale I might not know where that is but if you said near Farnborough I might.

You should come here to Detroit and see for yourself though. It has a dismal reputation but I've lived in Washington DC and just north of Philadelphia. I can assure you that south east DC and the abutting areas of Prince Georges county Maryland are far worse than Detroit. Then there's north Philly. Both are very scary places to take a wrong interstate exit into.

I have lived and worked in Metropolitan Detroit since 1993 and have yet to witness any violence. I lived in DC and north of Philly for a total of 4 years and have seen numerous acts of violence there. You can't always judge a place by it's 40(?) year old reputation.

Just to keep it on topic. Ship the pirates to Philly and DC, they wouldn't last 5 minutes.
