Having lived  most of my US life in Detroit-Life in Detroit is Good. Although the crime is not as bad as they potray in the papers, you do however want to avoid living in/around downtown. Also make sure you have your own ride( Its the motorcity -yo!!!). There is Nepali communities around in Troy, Sterling heights, Madison etc.  You just have to be little careful when you are around downtown to avoid any unwanted attention. Its a good place to live depening upon how you live your life. I'd move back if i could find a job there!!!
