Most any?

Doubt. Detroit is also richer than Windsor, remember.

I've been answering in good faith but I won't be engaging in twilight zone-type discussions, sorry.

Windsor city proper averages 4 to 7 murders a year for about 230,000 people.

Detroit averages 250 murders a year for 650,000 people.

Do the math.

Hello Irene.

LOL - another newbie - these trolls really do love to keep coming back.

I have read the title and it's as easy to get to regions in central Europe as it is to get to areas in England.

Newcastle Upon Tyne 2 hours 50 minutes on the train from London., as opposed to 1 hour 22 mins from London to Lille, or 35 minutes to cross between Folkestone and Calais with your car using Eurotunnel.

Which one would I choose to live in? It would have to be a split. Santa Barbara (California) for half the year and England for half the year. I dearly love both places and, when younger, was able to spend part of each year in these two places. I can no longer afford to do so but have very fond memories of both lovely locales.

To you Brits: do ice cream vans in England still play "Greensleeves?" (That is, if you still have ice cream vans!)

There are still ice cream vans, and they play all kinds of tunes including Popeye the Sailor Man and the Match of the Day theme.

Detroit is a richer city than Windsor, in terms of metropolitan area GDP. Yes, the murder rate is worse.

Are you one of those people that has a really aggressive critical habit towards the US that gets all butthurt whenever an American points out any way at all that Canada or a Canadian city comes up short?
Detroit has a higher GDP per capita than Windsor

The rich people in Detroit are richer than the rich people in Windsor.

The poor in Detroit are also a lot poorer.

We have known this for quite some time about the US vs Canada.

Philipppines has over 40,000 barangays, and the elected barangay captain has a huge amount of discretionary power. for example, the captain car order that shops be closed on Sundays.
