I have never visited a major city in the world that did not have a ghetto. That includes Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, London, Paris, Athens ...
Detroit is a city in a much larger Metro Area. It is a war zone in the city now -- I had to go to the passport office in downtown Detroit two years ago -- the area of the federal buildings was safe during business hours but the streets were very quiet -- almost like a zombie movie without the zombies. I was glad to GTFO of Detroit in one piece -- a sad commentary.
