Detroit: A Dying City (The Red, White and Economic Blues)(Detroit's Ghetto)

Check out my Detroit ghetto blog here: http://www.detroitghetto.com

This was aired on CBC March 30th, 2009. It shows how bad things are in the city of Detroit right now. Thanks to cherifa123 for sending me the link to the video on google video, which I was then able to download and upload here on Youtube.

These are the main points that I retained from watching this video:

-A man who hunts raccoons and sells the meat to make a living.
-120 square kilometers of the city are vacant, an area larger than than city of Vancouver.
-22% unemployment.
-Homes selling for $1.
-Median home price is $6000 and falling.
-Wild animals are moving back into the city... pheasants, coyotes, even beavers.

In another video that can be seen on CBC's website, they state that 40% of the downtown area is vacant.

This obviously applies ONLY to the CITY OF DETROIT, not the suburbs and the metro Detroit area as a whole... JUST the city of Detroit itself.

**I have had a few people comment on my Detroit Ghetto videos, saying that what I filmed is not Detroit because they don't recognize it, or that it's just a small area of Detroit and the rest of Detroit is a beautiful, thriving place... well, it's not. This is yet another FACTUAL video, filmed and aired on a major television station showing the truth. I really don't understand how someone who lives here can deny that Detroit is in ruins... facts are facts and whether you like them or not, you must accept it!

And of course there will be those who feel the need to add comments saying that I'm only showing the bad side of Detroit. Well, to them I say that you are welcome to upload videos of how "beautiful" the city is yourself.

I don't live in Detroit, but hearing this is sad. There are so many people in the World who would love to live in a home like that.

@RoelGeurtsen I agree and the liberal socialists are in total control of every structure of decision making, The reps just like the conservtive party here in the UK put this big front on but thats all it is a big front. They all happily abourd the gravy train why would they ever try to derail it.

@C6BD Hahahaha! you're right - and the beaver is resourceful enough to make something out of nothing - he sets an example for the humans who are wining and wasting time!

[RoelGeurtsen]

@bluekhon11 Not all the answers! still you can hardly blame the reps for this debacle! i know you want to but you cannot! It's like the Greece of the USA, all spending, no earning.

This is always the endgame, where liberal socialists call the shots!

[bluekhon11]

@RoelGeurtsen Yep like the reps have all the answers

[RoelGeurtsen]
