DETROIT, MICHIGAN

A personal piece I shot and edited that reflects the disasterous economical state of my home town. Detroit has the most abandon buildings of any city in America yet some of the most beautifully architectually designed mansions right in the midst of one of the most crime ridden cities in America.

You have made a powerful statement with this video. Very artistic yet realistic. In my research I discovered that Detroit is possibly the worst place in the USA to raise children. I am featuring your video on one of my articles. Great work. Very powerful.

a good way for a place to revive itself is to change its name. change the name of detroit, open up land, make it free, and see what happens.

auto unions (shame on you) and greed. They promised what they could not provide, as did the auto makers. such a shame................... Government here would never let that happen (Australia/New Zealand)

@vixie007 You expect American workers to compete with Chinese slaves. You're a piece of shit. YOU are the reason places like Detroit are abandoned. Traitors like YOU abandoned America. That's 17 thumbs up your ass !

I am 50 and do not ever remember Detroit looking worthy of resideing there. We all pray and hope it will improve. The one dose of joy has been the preservationists who risk everything to restore and preserve the grand vision of the city. What caused it UNION GREED, RACISM and HATE. Things have improved partly becuase of the courage of DAVE BING and some courageous citizens who whis to put up a fight. God Bless Detroit

In the early 1970's San Francisco had streets that were abandoned and NY City was far worse.

Today big money has been investing in Detroit and these firms are very experienced and have a proven track record of success.

Now is the time to buy property in Detroit and fix it up and hang on to it.

1:44 Charles T. Fisher house (Fisher Body--GM)

2:29 The train depot (note: the floors in the tower were never finished or occupied because of the 1930s depression)

2:52 The Book-Cadillac Hotel (before the $200 million restoration by Westin)

Detroit got blasted. They have been hit hard with every problem you could imagine. This is an amazing city, I can guarantee that no city in America could ban together like Detroit can. This city has seen nothing but shit.. Give it some props because without Detroit there would be no Big Three. Detroit has built itself off hard work and not listening to everyone else. Respect this city, come here, see what it's all about. No it is not a huge ghetto, nobody gives this place a chance.
