I interviewed a friend named Domo who lives in the southwest part of Detroit. Domo's views differed from mine because he has that violent look on Detroit and see's it as a dangerous city if you don’t know the people who are around you. Domo knows most people in the city and says that’s the only reason he knows he is safe. When he first moved to Detroit he really didn’t know anyone and had a rough time. He was mugged a few times and got into some rough arguments with people who lived around him. Domo also told me how there are many homeless people on the streets who are always asking for money. He said it’s a city that should be demolished and re built.
One of the most important things I learned from this interview was that we shouldn’t run quickly to judge something until we learn about all aspects of it. Also that Detroit may be a fun beautiful place downtown but when you really hit the city streets where people actually live, it may not be as safe as we think. Peoples views on the city are all different depending on where you live and what parts of the city you actually go to.
Questions that arose from this interview are that if we had enough money to rebuild the city of Detroit would it really change people’s violent behavior?
What makes Detroit the home to many homeless people?
