the most bizarre thing is detroit is now one of the most expensive places to stay in terms of airbnb/hotel prices. its insane.
Sterling heights or a different venue? I'd definitely do Sarnia if you are headed to sterling heights. That avoids all the bads parts of Detroit.
its the filmore near comerica park i believe. so basically downtown.
Are you parking the bike in downtown Detroit?
At night...?

imagine living somewhere where you couldn’t ride because your bike would get stolen if you parked it.

You guys all live in the past.

Just gonna use auto theft stats since motorcycle statistics are harder to come by
Detroit reported auto thefts in 2022: 9761 New stats show Detroit car thefts rose 45% in 2022
Toronto reported auto thefts in 2022: 9564 New tricks leading to alarming rate of car thefts in Toronto
Toronto population 2021: 2,794,356
Detroit population 2020: 639,111
This is a stunning statistic in and of itself.
At one point in its history, about 75 years ago, Detroit's population was over 1.85M people. It was the fourth largest city in the US.
Today, its population is a third of that...
It is a really interesting case study in how to fail miserably at managing a shrinking city. Municipal services are far too expensive with a few occupied houses per block. You need to consolidate the remaining residents and bulldoze the excess capacity asap. If you expand again, you have mostly clear land to expand into. It's not an easy process but trying to maintain services for a population of 1.85M with a population of 640K is a guaranteed fail.
No one said you couldn't ride.
You just couldn't park. So ride non stop.
@V-Tom wouldn't have an issue with that. And I'm sure you would enjoy that as well. Lol
And Greater Detroit Area population is 5,318,744, about the same as GTA.

Not quite the same comparison, the Detroit metro is comparable to the GTHA+Wateroo, it's 3.5M people vs 7600KM in the GTHA.
If you compared the greater areas, you'd have to rope in KW/Guelph and Cambridge which would still make the GTHA+W 50% bigger in population.
The city of Detroit is about 1/5th the population of Toronto
Next thread: bike got stolen in Detroit. How do I get back?
I joke OP…just be careful.

Stayed at the holiday Inn downtown a couple times for the Detroit Auto Show.
(at night) You pull up to the office, go in, and that's it. You don't go back out as recommended by staff. There's always a valet or two, and they take and park your car "somewhere".
In the morning, they bring it to the front door when you want it. No unnecessary mileage was racked up.

In 1997?
Downtown Detroit is a hipster place now. I would park my car DT Detroit over Jane and Finch anytime. And go party without even thinking twice.
Last time was 2016.
