This documentary, and you white hipsters with your restaurants, community gardens, and heavily policed and sterilized enclaves, have created an entirely new paradigm of segregation in a city whose vast population (nearly 90% of which is poor and working class black folks) is completely disregarded in this documentary. That 65 year-old white woman is eating that cookie at Avalon, because of the fascistic sterilization campaign that transformed the Cass Corridor into "Midtown."
@scottadegregoris Let's study that for just one moment. The fact that white hipsters can come in and change an otherwise decaying city, says a lot about how much that 90% just don't give a shit. Maybe if the 90% cared for more than just letting their city fall apart, the "hipsters" never would have been in the equation. The ones who create the segregations, are the ones who refuse to play nice in the sandbox. Sorry, I will take a "policed and sterilized enclave" over drugs and violence any day.
When the multitudes of vacuous people like you stop viewing the REAL world through a veil of soggy cliches and infotainment, something might change. The deindustrialization that followed WWII is what PERMANENTLY emasculated Detroit's tax base. And it will take rejuvenation OF THAT SCALE to GENUINELY return Detroit to where it was.
This will not happen, and as soon as people stop masturbating themselves with this delusion, we can work honestly with the real options left here.
A couple of successful restaurants only seem like they are changing things, if they are the only things one myopically focuses on, as one ignores the vast expanse of the rest of the picture.
You're comment about the 90% "letting" the city rot is that TRITE racist ignorance that plagues this area's suburbs. Of course nearly 50% of Macomb County's adults are illiterate. The economic, political, and social forces that have created detroit, are OBVIOUSLY beyond your comprehension.
@scottadegregoris Sorry, but my opinion stands. If the people that already inhabit the city had not let it decay to the point of no return, then these "white hipsters" would not have needed to come to try and "fix" it! By the look of your past commentary, all you do is whine and complain about other people's comments. What are you doing to help make a better Detroit? It seems that sitting in an ivory tower, and throwing multi-syllable, douchey insults at people is not doing anybody any good.
All of the points I illuminated, and you devote a paragraph to my vocabulary? Sorry that you think there is something extraordinary and pretentious about such vocabulary--you must be from Macomb county.
What have I done to make Detroit better? I have actually lived IN the city for about half of my 40 years--and way before anybody mentioned gentrification.
Not to mention, I could have gone to any school I wanted, but instead gave Wayne and Detroit my full-ride.
And anyone who GENUINELY knows anything about the history of Detroit, knows that that "90%" inherited that "decay," when they were economically, socially, and politically corralled and imprisoned in all of that "decay"--way the fuck back in the middle of the 20th century.
To have at least a BASIC understanding of the city's history, read Thomas Sugrue's, The Origins of the Urban Crisis--otherwise, responding to anymore of your childlike comments is a waste of my time.
@scottadegregoris Are you kidding me!? You are on the Internet, commenting on random video postings! Wasting time seems to be your passion!!! Oh, besides judging people, and beating off all over your thesaurus. Hopefully the Effexor XR kicks in soon for you. Vaya con Dios, mi amigo.
@scottadegregoris I hadn't looked at it. I really don't care about you enough to look that hard. Quite frankly, I was just being a smart-ass at your expense. Your pointless, unhappy, condescending palaver could cure cancer, and I still would not be driven to read any more of them than humanly possible. Matter of fact, if I ignore you altogether, it will probably piss you off more than replying. I figure that you have been ignored all your life, and that is why you are so unhappy to others. Fin:)
@scottadegregoris Nice comeback. All that education, and articulate vocabulary, and all you can do is tell me that you have sympathy for my life. How interesting. I tell you, I would rather be me any day of the week...Hell, I would rather be a homeless person without my arms and legs, than be some unhappy, self-righteous, self-indulgent prick with an uber-entitlement complex that is aimed toward judging others of which you know nothing about. My condolences to you...you sad little man.
And finally, I love how you child-like, dimwitted TV-people see things in these convenient delusions. Do you know how much criminality occurs within these hip white "scenes" and "cliques"? Like the UTTER PERVASIVENESS of cocaine amongst these people?
What, because they themselves don't commit violent acts, you ignore that it takes all kinds of death and "violence" to get all of that coke to Detroit, you fatuous boob?
@scottadegregoris Wow! Big words! Thesaurus(dot)com must love you! I love how you can say things about me and you don't even know me. Do me a favor...go out, have a drink, lose your virginity, and for God's sake, quit being so fucking tragic. Just by the words you speak...I can tell that you are an unhappy little human. It must suck to be you. All you have is hatred towards anyone that is not you...oh, and you have your precious vocabulary, too...we can't forget about that.

If you look at the FEW things on which I have commented in the banal infinitude of here, you will see that there is nothing "random" about the posts.
They either pertain to Detroit, or to early '90s independently released music--nothing "random" about that bunk bunk.
Regardless, you and your life have my condolences.
