   <description><![CDATA[The City of Holland is friendly if you look like the locals.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a person of color, speak with a non-European accent, or don't appear Dutch you may very likely encounter rude behavior from local merchants.&nbsp;&nbsp; I, and many of my friends like me, have all experience some bad experiences in downtown Holland.<br /><br />There are many other communities which are kinder and welcome ALL vistors; Saugatuck, Grand Haven, Luddington and Grand Rapids.<br />I will&nbsp;&nbsp;never visit this mean city again.<br />]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[Detroit is a city that is very much filled with crime and high taxes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The school systems are useless. Everyone sends their kids to private schools and they are not good either. I was born and raised in detroit and it used to be a florishing, vibrant city in it's day.&nbsp;&nbsp;People were neighborly and the big three was a major entity of the city that provided jobs for people.&nbsp;&nbsp;Motown was there as well and the city was something to be proud of.&nbsp;&nbsp;Detroit has experienced a string of rotten mayors that Have added to the cities problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;Detroit continues to build up downtown with expensive condo's, ice&nbsp;&nbsp;skate parks, boardwalks etc but who is going to move there when crime is right in the midst of it all?&nbsp;&nbsp;The downtown area is filled with the homeless, criminals, poverty etc. Detroit would be a lot better if the city could curtail its criminal element, but it won't/can't.&nbsp;&nbsp;M parents home is in an exclusive area of the city and everyone in our family has been robbed at one time or another right on the front porch while entering the door.&nbsp;&nbsp;My dad walks around with two hand guns on him at all times and has video monitors and security gates all around his home.&nbsp;&nbsp;He carries his pistols with him when he goes to the market, cvs, etc&nbsp;&nbsp;Our family home is beautiful but it is not worth getting your cars stolen right out of the driveway.&nbsp;&nbsp;I wish he would move. It is sad but, Detroit reminds me of a dungeon. <img src="/forum_docs/Smilies/sad.gif" style="vertical-align: middle" alt="" />]]></description>
