  • Where are all these people who once lived here?

  • @zigmund24 They all moved to Newfoundland.

  • @johnh23 why did they all move to Newfoundland?

  • @zigmund24I live in Michigan, they still live there.

  • @zigmund24 don't know about the other 1.2 million folks but this one went to the west coast.

  • I love how the city leaves all the garbage just to add to my point that s their excuse to demolish and their way to make people move they want high crime rates for now so later they can atract people to move to Detroit when crime decllines. Pretty smart but heartless in a way to use people's lives like that. I'm just sick of sitting around watching this fake shit unfold. Stand up and start fighting for rights bitchass people.

  • Plain and simple enough allready all this was planned by the Government the car industry was finished so they force everyone into a recession force them to move away demolish and rebuild Detroit with farmers fields and that s that relining their pockets with cash and I hate them for it. When are people gonna take back their right to live their own lives not a controlled one.

  • @6095jimmy Revolution needed first.

  • @johnh23 race war now b4 its 2 late

  • Like many an empire before us, we have wasted countless lives and wealth spreading our way of life around the globe. While here at how our "leaders" offer us bread and circuses in the form of welfare and social programs so we do not notice as they send their stolen loot to D.C. They take away our rights in the name of safety to protect us from a faceless enemy and hide their corruption by blaming the other political party.

    No more power! No more money! starve the beast that preys on us!

  • @Woodchuckk Agreed 100%

  • @Woodchuckk Dead on right. How come an average American can see it plainly like this but you have all the leaders of both parties yap yap yapping...AND THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT THIS. Only bullshit sniping, pie in the sky promises and all the while they're figuring out how to wring more money out of us and how to have a total police state to keep us in line. WE DO NOT HAVE A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ANY MORE. WE HAVE A CRIMINAL SYNDICATE IN POWER STEALING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

  • you got to admit abandond buildungs/citys have their own kind of beauty

  • I should post some of my pictures from Dec. 2010/Jan 2011.  Awful. No wonder I haven't lived there in 25 years! It is a terrifying place to visit. And I'm not from the suburban, other side of 8 Mile like most people who want to make comments on Detroit. I had to actually suffer through this dung heap through the late 60's, 70's and mid 80's, I finally escaped. A once beautiful place is now destroyed.

  • @crazywomancreek1 thanks to raceism blacks rule this is what ya get i lived it if u only new fuck them!

  • IS THAT THE USA ?

  • LOL@DETOLIET

  • music sucks

  • Nice city

  • This is what is coming to your town soon if those who run the puppet show have their way. It's not a black/white thing, it really isn't even a rich/poor thing. It's about a mentality in our society that would tolerate a city of such urban beauty as Detroit had been to degenerate to this extent. Too much sports, too many dancing stars, too much wrapping the flag around us...too much not paying attention and not caring as this unwound over time. We're insane to let a city like Detroit go...

  • @Moshpith yes it is a black an white thing they breed hate

  • show Detroit before the riots of 67. you will notice a big differance

  • Do these people not know what a paintbrush or a rake is?

  • I was not aware a nuclear power plant exploded near Detroit.

  • You have a lot of nice shots I think the editting and music choice could be better.

  • thank you government for all your outsoarcing! now see the mess you created? nice job fuckers.........

  • heart breaking!

  • Great video - it's sad

    

  • black owned lol

  • @TheRickRod thats where you got it twisted asshole, white owned. i challenge you assholes that shut the cameras off in decent neighborhoods searching for this bullshit to research the owners and developers that own those properties and youll find a piece of the main source of the problem.

  • @DONNIMETROPOLIS313 I was laughing at the sign on the building 0:32. Oh You mad bro? lol i would love to visit some of those abandoned areas.I used work with a crew demolishing old buildings.We used to hang out and hunt each other with paint balls before the recking.

  • @TheRickRod The owners name was Fred Black.

  • @DONNIMETROPOLIS313 Im not mad, and im not your bro, im just saying it s a common bullshit depiction of the city from assholes & bullshit because its completely onesided and you have to cut off the camera in good neighborhoods. it would be like me showing that every white suburban kid i interview is a methhead pillhead, or heroin junkie, & showing drug abuse in suburbs by white kids and adults is an obvious glaring fact, but not by far the majority or true representation of the whole truth.

  • Obnoxious music. Doesn't even go with the video.

  • nice to see the USA is going to hell

  • Thanks for these images of Detroit. They are beautiful because they are real and we should all see them.

  • @gerryvisco Yes, isn't the Rustbelt beautiful? Wal-Mart thinks so.

  • To be continued

  • It can only get better from here it cant get any worse i think? I got an idea I say move all the hippies an tree huggers and all the people that feel like they have to rescue everything + Canada and Medical Marijuana dispensories that would be one hell of a start.. legal weed + hippies =jobs for the fast food industries an grocery stores =shit son need a car for that< boosts auto sales an mechanical repairs =salesman an auto mechanics have money= buying booze an going to strip joints

  • i looks like grand rapids before the city got together with the governor an investors leveled everything an rebuilt

  • @tcpport78 I say Detroit should join Canada and we'll bring her back to life. Same for Buffalo and Niagara.

  • @johnh23 you can have them, and the people that live there troofer scum

  • @johnh23 Hard to say. Windsor, Ft. Erie and certainly Niagara Falls (the town itself) are not pretty pictures themselves.

  • Detroit is shit because of white flight. It became a zoo because animals moved into the houses and neighborhoods.

  • Every place in the world has ghettos and run down, economic impoverished areas. Newsflash to all of you ignorant fools, its all races and ethnicities. The media just focuses on blacks.

  • @screenjims2006 It would also help if America stopped playing international cop and kept it's sons and daughters at home instead of sending them to some sandbox to get killed by the population of that same ungreatfull country. America used to be a pioneer in so many ways, there should be more focus on education, healthcare and jobs and decent housing for americans themselves. Also kick Big Business outta politics, the lobby system is breaking down everything.

  • This looks like the documentry film from France 1944.

  • 0:36 Lol black owned , ironic isnt it? yes you can SEE that its black owned ROFL

  • @screenjims2006 With all the meddling in other countries affaris america has done over the years, regime changes, invasions, it should help out other countries.

    Dont buy Japanese cars, simple.

  • where is 2:36???? anybody know?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm suprised that citizens of Detroit don't take the abandoned cars to the scrap yard to get cash. They would make mad money:)

  • @GaunletofDestruction what scrap yard? Detroit is a scrap yard.

  • @GaunletofDestruction

    yes but only with the permission of the car owner if not its burglary , maybe the owner will sell the car ,too ;D

  • @MrAltwulf XD

  • Briggs FT Pierre Medor -"Rustbelt" check it out

  • hahahahahaha here in Brazil this is a rich neighboorhood my nygga

  • Time to paver over old Detroit and build Delta City.

  • never been to detroit, but i always knew it was just like they showed in robocop

  • @rojoification Yeah you aren't missing much lmao!

  • Why are there so many videos showing the run down areas in Detroit? What about Palmer Woods, Sherwood Forest, Boston-Edison, Indian Village, English Village, and all the other beautiful neighborhoods I can't even think of right now? What about down town? Circus Park? Many of those homes in the vid used to be in Brush Park, but they are gone now and there are brand new condos there. How come no one shows that stuff? Detroit isn't dead people. It's on the way up.

  • Ha this is what USA is really like.

  • @chinnyman1 No sir. This is what the worst parts of the poorest city in the USA look like. There are beautiful places less than 5 miles from where these pics were taken.

  • this city looks like a warzone it seems like a battle between gangsters

  • @johnh23 because i am american. it would be a hel of alot harder to intergrate and american state in with your own culture and you would have to take the entire state olf michigan

  • making detroit apart of canada would be stupid. and other places in this country unfortunatly are like this too

  • Man, this is really bad:(

  • i dont know whether i should be depressed or inciting a rave

  • @johnh23 I can't find a link to the movie Requiem for Detroit..BBC being assholes won't let people post it! Could you please give me a link to the video if you can?

  • @johnh23 Could you please give me a link to that BBC video if you can?

  • @johnh23

    Now i've seen it. Soon we have all the factories running in China...

  • Comment removed

  • I love Detroit, Great plce to raise kids!

  • Where's all the people? Are those just ghost towns all? I can well understand that nobody is able to live there, but still.

    And more importantly, how fast this has happened to Detroit? I am trying to predict how fast it can take place other cities as well.

  • Comment removed

  • I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED TO SAY IM FROM THE D!!!!!!! BECAUSE THEY NEVER EVER EVER SHOW THE ADVERAGE STREETS OF DETROIT.. I MEAN THIS VIDEO GOT CLIP THATS NOT EVEN FROM DETROIT..WHERE DO U SEE ROW HOUSES BOADRED UP IN THE D..WHERE DO U SEE ROW HOUSES IN DETROIT PERIOD, EXCEPT FOR RALPH BUNCHE AND IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA..NONE!!!GET THIS BULL SHIT OUTA HERE

  • An example of what happens when "whitey" leaves and the gangsta blacks need to fend for themsleves.

  • Looks like Tshernobyl.

  • Free Kwame!

  • indian village is by outer drive where it is not detroit and boston edison is rough as fuck dude so is w chicago ave and the whole petosky area

  • @dtowndreads umm indian village is not close to outer drive at all and is definately apart of the D

  • @dtowndreads Fail on location of indian village n i said 2 a lesser extent boston-edison

  • naw nigga all detroit is the hood......yu just got parts rougher than others....for instance 7 mile and 8 mile dont look this bad but they are killing folks everyday there and can be scary

  • This makes me feel embarrassed to say I live here. -_-

  • City of Detroit politicians should be embarrassed that parts of their city is in this condition. What the hell are they doing?

  • Half this video is stolen footage from other youtube videos.

    Search for "A tour of Detroits Ghetto" part 1, 2, and 3. Half this video was ripped straight from those vids.

  • is there where the black ppl live?

  • @k77jones unfortunately

    

  • omg, broken cars on the street

  • Wasnt the garage at 0;51 on the news like a month or two ago.........?

  • ruba ruba disco ! pump up the volume ! pump up the volume ! la dis ! put da noodle in the racket !

  • @johnh23 no I have not I will have to check it out,btw like the music mix you put to the video. reminds me of a being a teenager going to a rave party in the city, that you got a flyer for and had to call a number for directions to the night of the party. before the fox 2 problem solvers got involved and killed the rave scene for better or worse.

  • the problem is nobody ever takes a tour of palmer woods,university district, indian village, morning side,harbor town, or to a lesser extent boston-edison. people like the negative more or like destruction. not that detroit does not have many problems but any big city will have hoods like this.

  • @McOddz313 Man I am from Europe, it is unthinkable to us that a county like US to have areas like this anywhere,few big city's are like that. Not even in Easter Europe, which is much poorer, you will find this kind of shit, you will see chaos but not out right destruction and decadence. I don't know where the government is in all this. How could they allow that a city like Detroit to be reduced in such a pity state. by the way during the Great depression there were 20% unemployed detroit has 50%

  • @McOddz313 drive down 94 or 75 and count the burned out houses you see just from the freeway.

  • @evad520 Well ya I didn't say I was blind, I'm just saying that all this stuff gets glorified by the media to shock awe and sell.

  • I grew up on the far east side of Detroit. I've lived in Charlotte North Carolina for over 20 years. We have poor areas and we have crime too, but...BUT.... There are NO neighborhoods like these in Detroit. None. Detroit was ruined by folks like Coleman Young. Thank God he is dead.

  • @McOddz313 no, most major cities don't have anything this bad. I understand that not all of Detroit looks like this but the parts that are bad are in complete ruins. These neighborhoods are almost third world living conditions. The Bronx during the 70's didn't even look this bad.

  • @mattzilla420 Ya i know that most large cities don't have as bad of an appearance as detroit and and not as many vast run down neighborhoods but i still think if your not really doing alot of things you should not be doing your odds of anything happening to you are not that high besides someone breaking into your car or something usually. There is neighborhoods and small towns that may be worse in my opinion,like gary,newark,dc,baltimore is a lil like us,places like flint.

  • @McOddz313 No other city in America has gone through what Detroit has, you won't see this kind of decay anywhere else

  • @McOddz313  thats cuz they taking vids of detroit inner city not da suburbs homie you cant name one nice part of detroit in its city limits dawg

  • @dtowndreads I named some of them up top

  • @McOddz313 THANK YOU!!! they walk around in these areas that i wouldnt dare go..but never see anything about the good parts of detroit...UGH!!! make me sick

  • great to see a city like this! love exploring detroit and its brutality its awesome that its like this the real hood for sure!

  • Looks like 2012!! iwas born there, too, And some bastard burnt down our old house on Proctor!! The only home my parents bought!! Oh, well, 2012 is coming!!

  • Comment removed

  • The picture at 0:14 is Baltimore, MD. . . . . . . Not Detroit.

  • @Illadelsyde right, I never seen nothing like that in detroit. looks like hamsterdam in the wire. detroit does not have structures like these.

  • Woodlings would feel right at home

  • My sister inlaws family at work

  • The American people! Cars which there were created in far 70 admire me till now! You need to revive Detroit. Any more it it will not be final such as earlier and the motor industry will not be its prime activity, but it can become economically prospering city at the expense of such resources as tourism, entertainments, the film industry. I trust in the future of Detroit, it is a city with the great past and I hope with great the future.

  • This is a perfect place for my sister inlaw she loves lots of rats and run down buildings

  • Blacks could turn Birmingham into a Ghetto in 1 Year

  • @TheKp636 yeah its on the way look at pontiac i am surprized it hasnt allready happend being birmingham is between pontiac and detroit

  • Damn nigger ghost town.

  • i live out side of detroit and i am the first to say that it is a pit but there are some nice parts to like near ford field and the baseball field it very nice

    but now at least we are getting some movie deals they are making a movie about the hurricane in NO so the are filming it in detroit because NO is already built back up all disaster movies are being made in detroit now because it is a disaster

  • ya atleast you have the disaster thing goin lol

  • white flight after riots,coleman young and crack rock= ghetto.

  • looks like an awesome hideout for a zombie invasion

  • @bearhuntaa ahhaah

  • Comment removed

  • Nice, The city should be razed, that is, what is not useful and made into farm land.

  • @netwrkgee

    And do you believe the Blacks will farm? No, They're too busy using their welfare money on their "Kush" weed and Goldmic premium accounts (Where they have the artistic musical ability and skill to rhyme "nigga" with "nigga".)

  • @SegregationForever

    believe it or not the black unemployment rate is only about 4 percent higher than whites.

    and believe it or not the most famous and popular musicians have been black i.e michael jackson mariah carey.

    and believe it or not the vast majority of people in detroit worked for the auto industries and when they all collapse selling "kush" may be the only option.

    but you dont believe any of that because the only thing you know about blacks comes from hip hop videos right?

  • love it!! great job!

  • This is just as bad as Muskegon Heights/ Benton Harbor.

  • I was born in Detroit, and it is hard to believe that this is the city I grew up in. I just hope for all those still there that they can find some way to get out of this mess and rebuild what once was a beautiful city. Great video, and thanks for posting.

  • THX ... A new Detroit will emerge one day !

  • @mattman875 ITS NOT AS BAD AS IT LOOK!! TRUST ME HALF OF THESE PICS ARE NOT DETROIT

  • Very good.
