Thats interesting idea thanks. I give that some serious thought.

Well Windsor is going bad like Detroit for very much the same reason. Our auto-industry has taken a huge hit, hence why you might see abandoned buildings. I lived on the West end almost my whole life, though its not prefect crime wise, im still not afraid to take a late night walk to 7-11. Access to the border is good, just hope you have a passport those home land security dudes are real dicks on their end. I had a visa that let me lived in the states, and they still gave my family and I hassles. Anyways, forest glade on the east end is good i hear, riverside is probably one of the better areas but its like all 'old money' rich area. I say settle in the 'suburbs' right at the east end, where it turns into the town of Tecumseh cant go wrong there.

The east end near Tecumseh is a good bet but I wouldn't go to the glade ---it is very highly populated and does have it's own problems. The west end and university area has problems too but there is a lot of community spirit and it seems that they know their neighbors and look after each other. I am near the mall and it too has problems but is fairly good neighborhood. I have to say try to avoid the city core --to live. Check out areas carefully --maybe drive around them at different times of the day and night.

Every single area in Windsor has its "issues". Doesn't matter where you go.
