I did not say that. Either quote my posts or improve your reading comprehension so that you can accurate restate what I've posted.

You backed it up with some stats about the concentration of the drug use. A bad 8 block stretch of horrible drug use makes it a "slum".

Since you are incapable of figuring out how to use an online dictionary, I'll help you out and quote the definition of a slum...
a densely populated usually urban area marked by crowding, dirty run-down housing, poverty, and social disorganization
Now which part of that is inaccurate?

And for the record, about 4 months ago, I was meeting my buddies at the Number Five Orange. A disgusting strip bar in the heart of the downtown east side. I knew i was going to be drinking, so I trained down to Main Street station and walked the rest of the way. It's about a KM walk and all along main street. I crossed Main and Hastings, the most notorious of the downtown east side intersections. It was 1130 on a Saturday night. I didn't step on any needles. I didn't get jumped, nothing happened. I didn't even think twice about taking the walk. Yes the drugs are bad, and the area is bad, but it's not un safe. It's just gross. I wouldn't even consider taking a 15 minute walk in downtown Detroit at 1130pm on a Saturday night.
Seriously bud, before you make ridiculous claims, know what you're talking about.

You should know what you're talking about before you start spouting off. Where in that definition of a slum does it include anything about being dangerous or unsafe?
