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

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.

[bigcairnkate]

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

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.

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.

too bad its not video........

[Kidis82]

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 !

@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.

where abouts is that at 1:48?

@statelybird3

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.

[NoRespect4Authority]

ok lets be honest all of america has trying to destroy since blacks became prevalent and successful in that city

[NoRespect4Authority]

@joesphx19 my point exactly so save the detroit and dammit save america

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.

[BoyScout1960]

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.
