When I was a teenager we would sleep on the building tops of hamtramck and do yoga on the rooftop of the old train station. We would camp for days in the forests of bell isle. Now that midtown detroit is getting gentrified a lot of that culture has gone southwest, just passed mexican village.

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
