Detroit isn't the cleanest nor safest. Your cars are at risk if you don't have a garage and even if you do you run the risk of people spray painting over your nice white coat of paint. The lighting is terrible and may have to resort to your high beams and don't even get me started on the roads. Though very survivable it makes it pretty annoying for living.
