"Inhospitable"...?  We're near Detroit. It goes with the territory! 

Heat? Bah, I can handle it... Freezing cold, snow drifts removing any and all normal geographic reference points? Meh, childs play.
Frozen doors/locks, water, busted pipes, snowplows/mail boxes? It's a trade off living next to an inland sea.
Gangs and shootings? Keeps one young with daily exercise duck and cover, and sudden sprints for safety.
Hey, if our ancestors could survive against lions and tigers with just a rock or stick, Detroit just keeps one in shape. Right?

My wife and I recently toured the Muslim stronghold of Hamtramck (a landlocked Detroit suburb now the first shari'ia-compliant city in America). We even ate at a highly-recommended Polish restaurant sited directly across from one of the raghead terror centers. ...Uh, mosques.

Nothing to it. Stores busy and every parking spot taken. A couple of empty shops, sure, but not like half of Woodward, north of the Ford Stadium. People still hanging on to the world they knew, even with the scum of this earth moving in and stealing their Polish-America away.
