Detroit, Michigan WORST Parts 

Man, some of these images look like something out of a post-war scene. This is heartbreaking from every angle. And I'm not even from the US

These houses look amazing, I bet back in the day this was a thriving neighbourhood, imagine how these houses looked before they were left to rot seems such a shame when so many homeless in US.

The size of these homes remind me of a home in the Pittsburgh area I spent 7th grade through graduation in. It was so old it had radiator heaters and a back and front stairwell, a foyer, and a cellar and three floors. Also had a front and back porch. It fit a family of 10 nicely. I imagine these homes were once inhabited by wealthy families. Total shame they were left to rot and overtaken by nature. 😢

I'm a Michigander and have seen quite a few videos about the decaying areas of Detroit, but I don't remember seeing this area. It's pretty frightful. Thank you for the great video. I would have to have a very compelling reason to ever go to Detroit!

I grew up in the Morningside area on Bedford, a couple blocks from Mack Ave in the 70's and 80's. I heard the area is being renovated and brought back to life. My old family home is a section 8 rental now still in shabby condition. Gutters hanging off the house, broke porch steps and curtains inside totally falling sideways. My great grandfather had it built, as he came from Ireland as an indentured servant. Maybe do some vids where people are trying to bring neighborhoods back (other than downtown which just looks gentrified). I miss my childhood there so much. It's sad to see the decay. Great job on what you're doing by the way!

Thank you for this kind of videos. No music, no commentary, just pure streets - get yourself exposes, get your own emotions and opinions. As if you were really there...

The many fates behind every front door makes me very sad. Greetings from Germany and all my love to the people in the USA

watching all these videos on abandoned and bad cities makes me wonder what exactly is going on in this country that we aren't being told as usual. Detroit was at one time thriving. Auto production from the American automakers from ford to GMC to Packard ETC these video 's bring you into the reality of what's going on.

This... This is why I worry when my 48-year old son goes to concerts in or near Detroit. Yes, mom's still worry no matter how old our kids are! 😰

Wow. Oh this is just heartbreaking. All of these majestic and once beautiful homes, each of them echoing into the terrible silence the broken sounds of laughter stilled, and dreams so sweet and so so needed that they could not bear the pain that scraped the source of themselves from the sidewalks, the empty rooms, and from the many splintered hearts that died there in the cold embrace of something so evil, and so wrong that even though it has ceased to matter, it has not. Sorrow indefinable lays in uneasy rest here, and it shall never, no not ever, forget its loss. Its unimaginable loss. This video is breathtakingly beautiful in its unspeakable tragedy. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Those homes with the golden brick fronts and wooden sides really fascinated me for some reason. So many of those houses looked huge! I wish that one street in what looked like an industrial-type area had not been closed to traffic! Would LOVE to have seen that! This one was very interesting. Had you not told us you were in the Detroit area, I never would have guessed this location.

At one time, all these homes were someone's brand new dream home. It's so sad that with so many homeless and struggling, that these just sit there and rot.

I really enjoy your channel. I like that it’s quiet so I can just enjoy the ride alone. I also live in the U.K. so this is something I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to see. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻

Man. No wonder my friend was avoiding some places when I visited him in Detroit. Creepy to see this

Some of those houses would have possibilities. Unfortunately it would require a income. I've watched Detroit in decline for 45 years. Thank you.

The Automobile capital at one time. Unbelievable a major industria metro city turn into this... i remember CBS 60 minutes did a story on how many abandoned home and industrial buildings needing removed. 85,000 in total. And no funding to demolished

Thanks 👍 another great video I'm just so amazed there are that many vacant houses all around ,and where the hell did all the occupants go. Crazy eh. Cheers from Blissfield New Brunswick Canada

Looks and feels like the apocalypse

As always awesome content thanks for your time to do this video big fan of your channel

Wow! I think this is the worst I have ever seen 😲

Frank interview a with people who left in the 60s and 70s would be interesting.

you know a place is messed up when even the garbage floating around is picked clean.

Detroit went from 1.8 million people in the 50s to now just 630,000 so you can imagine how empty the city is

Wow! This is a damn good video I wouldn’t dare go where you did

My big question is : if a city like Detroit, perhaps the number one industrial city in the history of USA, can go this bankrupt and abandoned...what about the rest of USA, Europe and the World in general ? Does make sense ?

Omg from England 🇬🇧 this is so upsetting to see 😮😢 Bless 🙌 🙏

Wow! Even the trees are depressed.😊

Great great video as always.

It's crazy to see that realtor sign @3:26

bahkmut looks better than i expected...

Now this is very disturbing to me 😔 thank you for these Amazing video I appreciated you Please be safe Love & Peace 👍🏾💯

I really enjoy seeing the architecture! Some of these places must have looked quite grand with their brick façades, porches & balconies. They look pretty big, 2 storeys & a lot of depth compared to the width of the frontage. Too expensive to repair I suppose

Imagine what this place is like during the wee hours in the morning. Talking about creepy pasta.

Thanks! I will watch this later. 😁 Busy getting ready for holiday. Happy "holiday" everyone.

Very bad. A cool vampire movie was filmed in a still-standing brick Victorian house somewhere in Detroit by an abandoned factory

Are there any for sale? Looks like a great spot for my family, just what we were looking for!

It amazes me that folks torch perfectly decent homes, and then expect the state to give them everything - because they are 'poor'.

Those big houses must have looked glorious at one point in time. I would have loved to see what they looked like on the inside back in the day!

Why are these beautiful houses empty? How did it come to be?

This is the hoodiest hood yet! I've heard that they've built up downtown again. Still... A sad sight. All of those once gorgeous homes now rotten and fugly. 😢

I live in Hazel Park, MI and occasionally cross into Detroit and see houses that look like they just took an airstrike. Even though I've watched countless vids explaining it, I still wonder how this happened

It would be nice to see what this neighborhood looked like in 1955. Another world. Those are some deep big houses!...The 'For Sale' signs are a riot. Talk about being hopeful!

Had you remained traveling East on Tuxedo, when you reached Linwood, you would have come to Central High School where I went to school in 1975!

New sub here👍🤓 thanks for sharing

Coming to Chicago soon.

Where i live in north east England there was a large run down industrial site and a dirty river Tees. Lots of investment created houses, shopping centre, university, river barrage and sailing centre. The area was transformed. This is what Detroit needs. Investment, creativity and jobs to bring it back to life 🎉

Never seen a city patch their sidewalk repairs with asphalt. Maybe temporary patches like that. But we all know they will not fix those sidewalks with fresh concrete. Not even in ADA compliance for handicapped residents. Speaks volumes to why the housing is in disrepair. The City has just given up on its self.

How could people allow their city to get this bad?

Believe it or not it used to be much worse. My childhood home has been long gone.

I lived in Detroit till I was about 10 years old back in the 70s. My dad worked at Ford motor company so we had a big beautiful house. All the houses were big and beautiful and my neighborhood was awesome. We played outside all day till the street lights came on. It’s so sad seeing it this way.

Now adays if they didn't tell you it was Detroit you might think its a neighborhood from any big "sanctuary" city in America.

I really like the overall design and style of these houses. Must have been part of a beautiful neighborhood at one time. So sad what has become of Detroit. I've been hearing for years now about Detroit "coming back" - will it ever really happen?

Great footage, without all the extra unfunny jokes, some people do in their videos.

Such beautiful homes & architecture just left to rot in the elements. Shame😞

I'd be scared driving through there

I lived in metro Detroit 90-2000. The neighborhoods are so large, few folks told me how bad it was back then n the fires how much of the city burned, never to be repaired. Every one just left. Entire neighborhoods, miles n miles burned.

I've been to Detroit a couple of times. As much as I love going through abandoned buildings, there's no way I was going in Detroit. Some of these streets are so bad the cops won't even show up. These were once thriving middle class neighborhoods. It was a beautiful city. This is the result of outsourcing to foreign companies. Everything within a 50 mile radius of Detroit is deteriorating like this. The car industry was the major employer and when that shut down, everything shut down. People had to move. It's really sad.

Imagine being one of the people left. Your house has zero value, can’t escape and it’s only getting worse.

How could any city allow this to happen? It's easy to see that once upon a time these houses were proud and stately. Economic decline is no excuse. Conscious decisions of many kinds made this possible. You don't get that kind of post-nuclear-war look overnight. The greatest country in the world. Yes, of course.

Dang, when our family left there in 1989, it was not like this. I know cities have their ups and downs but this is unreal. Much of it looks like deliberate destruction. Not like it was just left untouched.

Have always wanted to go to detroit can't believe there's places like this in America

Are utilities capped off at each abandoned home? I guess so. Some houses are still occupied and must have water, gas and electrical. Sorry, I'm a contractor and have to ask. Squatters must be a huge problem.

After watching this video, it became clear to me and to you that Detroit is a tale of two cities. While some have the luxury of beautiful, well-maintained homes and neighborhoods, others live in poverty in the shadows of those who have everything. Poverty in America is out of control, but what can we do to fix it? There has to be a better way to make sure everyone has a chance to live comfortably and safely.

What would this town look like if 40-50 years ago they stopped all the building out that they had to only use what was incorporated at that time they would have kept the woodlands for animal habitats in recreational activities

It looks like the set of a horror movie.

With so much crime in Chicago these days I wonder if Detroit's crime is almost just as bad. Think both cities are the largest in the midwest and I've heard Detroit has also had serious crime problems downtown.

Is there a plan for these houses because I bet that if the city sells them dirt cheap and gets a bank to offer low interest home improvement loans, there would be enough interest to fix them.

Tragic, absolutely tragic 😥 😔

These homes @10 minutes in must have looked fabulous 50 years ago

Que lugar HORRÍVEL! Sem vida, sombrio. Deprimente.

Population started dropping in 1950. Rioting and crime escalated the exodus of business and people out to the suburbs. With its crime rate it will never recover. Do Highland Park next please.

I live in Cincinnati .We got a few bad areas but nothing like this place .I will say our city officials are doing all they can to improve the few bad spots .This is so sad .

With all that could be done and is ignored ......to say it's shameful with all that need so much help barely scratched the surface ......

Scott Steiner, professional wrestler and former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, has long been vocal about his hatred for his native city of Detroit, Michigan. The Michigan native, born and raised in Bay City, made his feelings towards Detroit known to the public in a 2011 interview with Slam! Wrestling. In the interview, Steiner expressed his disappointment in Detroit’s decline over the years. He blamed the city’s corruption and lack of leadership for its downfall. “I would never live in Detroit,” he said. “The city has gone downhill. It’s an embarrassment.” He continued his rant by talking about the crime and poverty that have plagued the city for years. “It’s a shame what’s happened to Detroit,” Steiner said. “It’s been so neglected and mismanaged that it’s a joke. It’s a shame to the state of Michigan.” Steiner’s disdain for Detroit has not gone unnoticed. The city has seen its fair share of responses to his negative comments. From angry letters to the editors of local newspapers, to public protests, Detroiters have made their feelings known. Despite the pushback, Steiner stands by his stance. “I have no love for Detroit,” he said in a later interview. “I’m a Michigan native and I love the state, but Detroit has been a continual disappointment.” It’s clear that Steiner’s opinion of Detroit won’t be changing anytime soon. While it’s unfortunate that a native son would have such negative feelings towards his hometown, it’s also important to remember that his comments come from a place of love. His criticism may be harsh, but it’s his way of hoping for a brighter future for Detroit.

I can't understand why they wasted water putting out some of those places. To me it looks like the area would be improved with them totally gone rather than the shells left standing

I'm across the river...Thank God❤

WOW!! the near weat side was Bad bt the time of the 67 riots. I worked at a hospital in this Hood in the Eighties. I don't remember this level of abandonment back then. Looks likit was built from the 1910s to 1920s.

Check out the positive in the D! There's lots! Still blight like this because of the massive population loss from 1967 until 2013 bankruptcy.

I like to reference your videos with google map, they seem to be Demolishing a fair amount of the mod decrepit structures. Unfortunately not much is being built on the cleaned up vacant lots.

Warum verkauft der Staat die Häuser nicht, um sie dann zu renovieren? Gibt es keine Nachfrage in diesem Gebiet?

If you'll play "Bioshock - empty houses" on the back I bet it'll create very melancholic experience

..what the silicon valley is today is what detroit was yesterday..the industrial age left behind the remnants of a workforce that moved the entire world..they were ill prepared for the shift to technology...no one could see it then..but it was inevitable..most of the workforce had a ton of kids who had no future..poverty brought desperation..desperation brought crime..bye bye detroit..in the 60's and 70's..it was the best ...I'm very proud to have been raised there..

All that great architecture lost forever.

Having a home on a block like this has to be depressing

Tears for my once beautiful City.

So sad…….some really nice architecture lost forever.

So sad

@2:08 that house looked like the chainsaw massacre house lol.

But how can so many things,such big houses,be built at the same time?

I’m in awe

"Detroit, Michigan Worst Parts" Then you gotta drive almost the whole city.

Lots of beautiful homes going to waste what a shame.

Time to realize certain communities are unsustainable and are returning to open prairie. As nature rules

This is unspeakably sad.

Sweet Jesus, no wonder why there're so many homeless people around, 😢

Where in Detroit is this?

Beautiful houses, I wish there was a way to do business there.

Será que existe Casa à venda em Detroit ? 😊
