Positivity births positivity. I've been rethinking my past plans of relocation as of late, much like yourself. As a person who's always been a huge supporter of the city, I've found that leaving Michigan is contradictory to my own character. I’m liking where your head’s MD. Positivity births positivity.

Although I don't entirely despise the city of Detroit, I'm just not impressed with it. After living in New York City for a Summer, I realized how far behind Detroit really is. I'm not saying Detroit needs massive sky scrapers or anything like that, I'm saying Detroit needs people. Just look around on any given day. Unless you're downtown, you'll be lucky to spot more than 4 or 5 people. The city almost feels deserted. And to top it all off, people are becoming the victims of mid-day crimes. In the past few months, the frequency of sirens has noticeably increased and the crimes are getting closer and closer to school. My hope is that I can leave Detroit for a while, see what else this country has to offer. But I do agree that something big is going to happen soon. With all the tax breaks being given to bring in new industries, I'm sure there will be abundant opportunities for designers and everyone else. As selfish as it may sound, I just don't want to wait around for it happen. Right now, this place is simply too depressing for me. I wish i could agree with you on this one.
