The best kept secret and perhaps the best lifestyle for a vagaond/squatter/wanderlust is Springwells Village, one of the neighborhoods in southwest detroit.
Hi Matt, Springwells is a vibrant latin neighborhood, but its right by Delray.. essentially to answer your question the southwest part of detroit is on the river with tons of flat industrial spaces that are vacant, its an eclectic and transient culture. Cheap cost of living and lots of fresh mexican grocery marts
