Not even remotely comparable. Detroit is at the opposite end of the spectrum to where Calgary was recently, both situations can lead to increased crime and violence. Calgary experienced violence related to turf wars and fights over lucrative drug trades. Detroit experiences violence related to poverty, desperation, a large gang presence, a lack of a functional local government and a high rate of drug dependency. The burst of violent gang crime in Calgary was just a blip on the radar, in Detroit it is a decades long established part of life.
