It's sadly only getting worse... other then in the areas the Mayor deems "worthy" and the scrappers are going to need to play their game to make ends meet after the Governor cuts all the aid to the poor folks. Yep, end times are coming.
@vantun67 It used to be majority white. In 1930, its pop. was 7.7% black. the homicide rate (per 100,000 residents) was 4.5. In 2000, 83.6% black; homicide rate=41.6. If you plot every decade in between, the relationship is startlingly clear. Similar with test scores, average IQ, etc. etc. etc.
I'm going there next month. Why the hell are Americans so lazy? Here in Toronto we have our less fortunate areas too you know,but we NEVER let shit get this bad. Why are there so many decayed fucked up buildings?
This is the reality we live in Detroit and for the few of us who has made it out I still pray for the ones still dealing with the day to day struggle something I will never forget but thank full to have came from and know it's easy to slip back..
I went through Detroit on a business trip and OMG it's terrible there. That city needs like a total government take over and get it back under control. Get people in schools and away from crime. It was so bad I risked running out of gas driving past it because I didn't want to stop for fear of getting shot! It's a hell hole and is only getting worse.
This is nothing to compared how it looks now. But at lease Downtown is getting fixed up. Don't walk the neighborhoods at night or get gas unless you wanna get jacked!
Dude I think you are trying to do an good thing. I lived in Detroit for 14 years 8 mile and hoover let me tell ya. It is so much worse now I moved out of the city in 94. Shit is just done for and it makes me sad, I still love my city but damn.
alot of people rag on me for the video, I guess I should make a video of a home that I fix up. But I just keep my mind on the work, watch my back, and watch my tools.
lol why is everyone hating on the guy who filmed this. its not like he is saying man detroit sucks, look at these crappy sites. all he is doing is videotaping neighborhoods in detroit. all the detroit residents pissed off at him for not showing the good side should stfu or get off their asses and go help remodel these torn down neighborhoods. the guy who made the vid is merely a reporter, and i doubt he made these neighborhoods look like this. five stars.
I have been working in the city for 20 years. I try to repair these homes, we put up gutters,new furnace,water tanks, ect. and 2 weeks later all the stuff is stolen.. and its the Obama enpowerment funds.. nice hey.even in the nice neighborhoods there is too much theft.the cops dont even answer them calls.
thats commendable man. but making it look pretty isn't the only step. if you put bells and whistles on a piced of shit(literal shit) on the sidewalk, it will still be a piece of shit. cosmetics can only do so much. the general attitude and atmosphere must change it all it takes is a few people out doing their part for others to catch on.
well I just do it for the money, your right the attitude needs to change.I never understood just because your poor, you break out windows and throw trash all over, in your own neighborhood.

my god what a terrifying site. No wonder Detroit properties always show up on ebay for PEANUTS!! This place looks like a whole different planet...like Nagasaki after the bomb...what a horrible site.
Ok this is dumb, I love how people like to show the worst part of everything. Try touring Indian Village, Victoria Park, Palmer Woods...no you would rather try to make the whole city look like crap. YOU SUCK!
I hate when ppl only show the bad parts as a depiction of the whole city! Detroit Like ANY other city has good and bad parts. I don't understand the point of these videos, if you have no regards for this city GET THE FUCK OUT! FUCK U, WE DON'T WANT NOR NEED U HERE!
Deindustrialization, racism (on both sides), segregation.... The legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. Ignorance and stupidity... are just some of the reasons.
Is just politics as normal this mayor Kwame's town and he is busy with hookers and firing police chiefs who point out corruption. It is pretty funny from a distance but scary to go there.
that's sad...i just moved back south from the Detroit area, although i never got around enough to see that much, it looks like a hurricane hit it...a modern ghost town.
it's a shame, many of those houses would have been pretty cool if they were able to keep them up.
thanks for commenting, now to prepare for all the comments" not all the city looks like this", well it does were I go everyday.I stay away from the Mayors street
the first 7 months or so that i lived in Michigan, was on 9 Mile. About the worst that happened to me, was my car got egged by some teenager. Could have been worse.
this is just sad, it's worse then that now.SMH
