WTF, how can there be people out there especially celebs, knowing this is going on, sleep in their nice beds and houses with 10 rooms and not give a shit. If i was rich, i would buy the land, knock the homes down, build new homes and communities and have the poor buy them for stuff all.
Hillary Clinton without a teleprompter or bailout went down a long list of Broken Treaties with China naming treaty numbers and amount of jobs we would get back . first was 1.2 million jobs that Bush had sent out , parts for all types of Vehicles . Plan 2 was give the big three insurance as an investment and have all outsourced vehicles brought back to Detroit to be made again . By the time she was threw there was well over 10 million jobs to Michigan , mostly Detroit , not allowed to Vote !
Excuse me---there are a lot of black middle class families in Detroit, too--some old-fashioned,some not---what the hell does Africa or Mexico City have to do with Detroit,anyway? Last time I looked, black and Latino folks ARE PART of America---we ain't part of it's so-called demise---no, the real demise of this country will be these damn corporations busting unions and privatizing every fucking thing they can get their hands on.
I have a coworker from Detroit. He lovees his hometown and gets sad when talking about how it has degraded. He states if the local governemnt relaxed taxes and encouraged the Big Four Auto makers to reestablish themselves back in Detroit, that would bring in secondary part companies, establish a major medical research to diversify and encourage children the Detroit into healthcare programs, establish a military base, a super market chain, it could work.
Part of the problem is that the weather is very tough in Detroit, and the severe winters and humid summers alone can dismantle a structure that isn't being actively maintained.
Someone needs to clean up Detroit, not by demolishing the old buildings in favour of new buildings (I've seen too many of that happening already). What Detroit needs is to clean up what's already there, to rehabilitate any old buildings and restore them to new conditions. People want to live in nice safe comfortable homes. The problem is that government seems to be refusing to help in any way. I do hope someone can lend a helping hand.
I've never visited Detroit. I've always wanted to. But looking at the pictures, I wouldn't want to visit there, let alone live there, particularly with violence and crime. Someone needs to help Detroit get back on its feet. Detroit needs jobs, Detroit needs money to live. Detroit needs a shot in the arm.
@Seattlecarnut & others PLEASE do not be detered from visiting Detroit. there are many, many positive things in Detroit to see &do. Its a culturally diverse city with a foreign country just a few minutes away over a bridge or thru a tunnel under the detroit river even casinos This video is just the demise of historical architecture. I am working on a video of the good things but unfortunately they arent as "eye catching" as these. also Detroit is huge city, not just 'downtown' like these pics
@Seattlecarnut Detroit looks similar to african cities like Dakar or Kinshasa. Level of infrastructure destruction is incredible there. When normal life in Detroit is no longer possible then blacks will move to another place, whites will move out, and there we go again. For sure whites will be to blame because they move out.
Its not the buildings falling apart that kills me as much as the kids who walk by em everyday on the way to school. i was one, who barely made it out what saddens me is most dont... Born Fort street W.Grand blvd 5/16/72- raised s.w. Detroit . now reside in Cleveland ,Ohio
Has America forgotten about Detroit? What has happened to our once great industrial center of the country? Its breathing its final gasps of breath... It may be the first great city to fall, but it certainly wont be the last... I weep for America.
its a damn shame... if anyone is keeping count, thats 2 large american cites gone to shit... New Orleans and Detroit... what great American city is next???
When opportunity knocks, it isn't a black or white thing. Many black folks moved down south while others went west. Detroit is the only city in the U.S.A. that never had one chain store or fast food place within it's city limits.
unfortunately, Detroit has many, many (too many) fast food places as well as stores like Kmarts thruout the city -even 'downtown' Detroit has its fast food...the hard part for its residents is no big food chains in the 'downtown' area as well as most of the greater Detroit area
@scott6509 c its just awful how you closet racist respond to an Am. city going under. and if you all dont think this is going to happen to your neck of the woods ...uh think agan. Det. was also sanctioned by racist folks with a supremacy attitudes. Tax base move out.Investments, new developments were kept from the city for the mere fact that its main pop. was blk. organized gangs not as much of a prob here as Chi, LA. r own media did us in
We must all face the fact. Without white people this is what happens. The white middle class built detroit. And since 1965restrict immigration from europe has caused this mess.
Detroit and all of Michigan should secede from the Union and join Canada. New York and the New England States, too. Their situation will change immediately and they'll truly start recovering. Unfortunately for the rest of us, the remaining United States will keep on collapsing! THANK YOU, BUSH. THANK YOU, OBAMA. THANK YOU, GOP. THANK YOU, DEMS. >:-(
What you see in Detroit is the future of large parts of the USA. The death of this country is in its people. There just simply aren't enough old-fashioned, white middle class families to absorb the shock of Africa or Mexico City. The result will be the demise of the best place this world has known: the United States of America.
Excuse me---there are a lot of black middle class families in Detroit, too--some old-fashioned,some not---what the hell does Africa or Mexico City have to do with Detroit,anyway?

Believe me when I say that I feel very badly for all decent folks in America, no matter the ethnicity. It's just that reality cannot be cancelled no matter how we try. The culture of the past was the rockbed of this country and many are excited to see it pass away. What will be left will certainly not be better than what has been. Detroit is just a continuing symptom of the good things passing away with less and less influence.
as bad as detroit is as a city and most of the people there, there's alot of talented people with potential there.. it's sad that they don't get a fair chance to make it in the world as much as people from other parts of the country.. =/
This city is full of the wrong people. There are good people there, but not enough. Until the bad element is removed, the city will never improve. After 20 years of trying to make a difference, I moved to Florida last year and will never go back.
It'll NEVER be a beautiful city again.Its sad that I cant even show my children the house I grew up in because what would I do if we broke down with 3 children in the car?Its a shit hole now filled with burnt houses and crack houses.
check out John Riches shutten down detroit and the ibuyusa video on you tube the guy has great words. We cant be sheep and spellbound anymore by deceitful politicians, media, and forieign unfair trading countries wich are paying and owning these peoples greedy souls.They are not American Patriots They are about me not We.Support Fair trade Domestic owned. BUY USA on line and at stores. Country First !!!
The lazy Union Employees who used to nap instead of work are to blame as much as any corrupt CEO. The woes of American Industry are multi layered but ultimately always greed corruption and a lack of fiscal responsibility and looking to the future. Top Heavy Unions Bottom Heavy politicians or fat ass CEOs
Detroit problem has always been too many unruly blacks in the area Detroit was a cesspool in the 1970's anyone planning a trip to Michigan was told to bypass Detroits criminal element
It's a shame what happened to this city. Great old houses. It all went down a steep hill when the Reds took over, and I dont mean the Cincinnati Reds.
