No matter what you do to address it, it will be racism. My parents moved to Eastpointe, which I advised against, but anyways the area right along 8 Mile is having issues with cars being stolen. What's happening is people are breaking into the cars, jamming them into neutral, and using another car to push them across 8 Mile into Detroit. This neighborhood, which is mostly black, wanted the city to do something. Together with the city, they came up with the plan to block the streets to 8 Mile. Pretty simple and logical solution. Well, an activist group on the west side of Detroit caught wind of this, and rose a stink saying the city was being racist even though the majority black residents wanted this and Eastpointe caved and to this day the thefts continue.
