PAY ATTENTION OVER 12,000 DETROIT families are getting cut off from Welfare on November 1st. That day My brother wont be going to his High School because the violence is going to skyrocket. Detroit will feel Hard Times like never before. I dont know what Rick Snyder is trying to accomplish by this. The crime/homocide rate will skyrocket, the number of unoccupied homes will PENTRUPLE. (X5). This will cause more unecessary problems this city doesnt need...
The city has deteriorated considerably since this was fimed. Several areas are filled with abandoned, crumbling and burned out buildings. The devastation is overwhelming. Looks look a war zone. It's very sad to witness the demise of this once great city. In 1958 Detroit had a population of 1.8 million and enjoyed the highest income/capita in the world.
ok why u still have this old video up this is like 4 years old make something new whats doing goo in detroit today sto living this past i think people that are from detroit and and people that arent making the city worse than it is thats sad
Im European myself, the thing is that most Europeans came here form war torn countrys and seen all the killings so most of us are still thinking dont trust anyone, the reality is that alot of peolpe arent grimy like people think its all how u fit in. but its hard to put that in alota peoples heads
Even in the sunshine it would look run down and desperate. This is the way a lot of American cities will be in the coming years. Thanks to people in power who spend all their money on killing for oil and other crazy ideas.
The reality is that you cant compare detroit from 1960 to 2009, detroit today is the most dangerous city in the usa and noone can say anything about it!! if you walk down the street and someone doesnt like the way u look, chances are your gonna get jumped, u wear something flashy like a chain or glasses chances are your getting robbed, u act like a tough guy ur gonna get shot! no doubt. if u dont live in detroit or never been here dont talk shit! simple!
That is the biggest misconception I have ever heard in downtown Detroit. I walk arounf downtown all the time and it is a ton safer than it was 20 years ago. I can't even recall the last time i have even heard of an incident in downtown. Why don't you go up in to Highland Park area and then you will see a shithole! Don't tell lies about downtown!!
Real talk, I live downtown, love it. Never scared. Lived in ruff hoods on both sides of town, never had a problem with nobody. Kept my cars, my dogs (animals) and my kids and NOBODY bothered us. Just like bees and dogs attack when they smell fear. It's that fear that keeps European Americans and suburbanites from interacting and building on something positive. The fear keeps us trapped in a stalemate of old ideas and assumptions.
@ThaBoiiD I'm sorry but you are talking shit, I am a Belgian who used to live in Detroit for over two years (2004-2005). I worked for the auto industry as a sound engineer. The main reason I came was for the techno music. Went to Parties in Hamtramck etc. Went to illegal after parties in abandoned buildings. Sometimes even being the only white person there... Never got robbed, mugged, car stolen or whatever. You need to be streetwise, I agree, but In my opinion Brussels is as safe/dangerous ..
My Grandmother Lived On Louisiana Off John R & In Late 1970's Trees Were Planted Outside Every House On Her Street. Is 61 Louisiana House Still Standing? She Had A Pear Tree In Backyard & Had A Garden There.
A complete embarassment of a city. They should burn the whole motherfucker down and start all over. The US needs to get its act together in terms of city planning.
Decades of institutional racism, Black Nationalist governance, dependence on a dying auto industry, nanny statism, corruption, poor education, drug abuse, mismanaged city services, and crime.
@youngmoneyrealist05 Flight of jobs and compelled government dependency basically did in a lot of AA's and the city neighborhoods / towns they live(d) in.
I love how people who dont live from detroit nor have they even ever visited detroit can make comments based on someone else pre conceptions...funny in 2008 we are still an ignorant civilization.
detroit is not the originator of crime, ppl. these vids only show about 2% of the whole city. detroit is known for being gritty and tough, so thats what you'll see mostly. example: in some rap music videos they show the ghetto parts of miami with drugs being shipped in and money laundering, but that shit gets praised. to sit there and say detroit is ghetto is a real ignorant observation. its bad side of every city just about. the side of detroit i live is very quiet, but thats never shown.
fact that is needed to be made here pimpin is this,,, DETROIT is ghetto, get a map from about 60 yrs ago, find detroit,, odds are, you dont live in old detroit, ok.. new detroit as it is, lots of nice places, big houses, good peoples, but from workin and livin round there, prolly not a good idea to hang out on wyoming, michigan ave, and a few others, once the sky is darker than your tan, bounce back to the burbs,,, that aint racism either, its fact,
I've never been to Detroit, but I want to go to Wayne State. I have a forum with about 25 pages of responses, so I feel I have a good grasp on Detroit. All I have to do is come check it out now. I know Detroit can be a great city. Detroit is a beautiful city just covered up in decay.
Beacuse it is dead....I know i live there...It used to thrive with people in the 50's and 60's but alot has changed....1/2 of the city looks like a war zone but its making a slow come back..in certian areas...
It's not that bad... Now Detroit isn't a Chicago or New York but it's not as bad as people make it seem... Detroit's been through a tough 40 years since the riots that no other city in America has seen so it's great to see it coming back slowly but surely...
And YungMafiaFam, shut the fuck up.... It's people like you who give Detroit a bad name because of the way you talk about it, especially when you've probably never been across 8 mile....
