Sorry, but I don't feel speaking the truth is not being Non-PC. Agree that political discussions don't have a home on these threads.
Detroit earned its place as one of the most dangerous cities in the US before the economy took a slide back in 2000. Michigan has had major job loss for over 10 years and is hurting. Both Michigan and Ohio have had huge declines and overall population numbers for the states are on the decline because of people leaving them.
Sorry for the side track, will shut up about it...
