I bet. In classes, whenever we have a discussion of poverty/class/race or even in the most urbane situations, I get the 'Oh, you're from Detroit? I'm sorry/shocked/amazed.' or the 'How did you ever manage to make it out ALIVE!!??' When I tell them I love it (even though job prospects are slim), they are even more shocked.
AND both of my parents work for the INDUSTRY. My mother is an analyst at Ford and my father just retired from GM Body Engineering. So, I can't think of any other place I'd rather be!
