I wouldn't donate a penny or a dime for your further exploitation of neighborhoods and places you know nothing about or the people. Your trash bro, just a slug
@@arnethaearl7929 what makes the man trash? He showing many ppl the run down cities here in the u s. Many ppl would never see these places if not for him. Loads more enjoy.the channel than complain.
@@leesmusic1 and supposedly whites were racist for fleeing the cities, white flight...when whites return, it is also called racist it's then gentrification
@@leesmusic1 From what I know the rapid rise and fall of the auto industry led to what we see today, boom and bust. It's incredibly sad as Detroit looks like an amazing city. I hope to visit someday to see the art deco buildings downtown.
@@Danlovestrivium Liberals didn't take the full control, this is in USA after all. If they did, that would be look like Venezuela where people search garbage bin for food.
When I go in those old neighborhoods I wish could see what they looked like years before. Not a lot of people realize what great cities they once were.
Those houses are ruins, not worth fixing, and the 'hoods too dangerous to house anything other than thugs and gangbangers. It's a waste of time and resources to even bother trying to upgrade these 'hoods because the current residents aren't civilized and would simply wreck it all over again.
This is really hard for me to watch. This is my old neighborhood. I grew up on Collingwood and Broadstreet near Dexter in the 70s and 80s. There was so much life in this neighborhood back then. The infusion of crack among other things contributed to this current state. I have so many good memories and I'm almost tearing up watching this video. It didn't look like this then but I can say that toward the end of the 80s I started to see the decline. Alot of black entrepreneurs thrived in this neighborhood and I never felt in danger as a kid in this area. It's been years since I rode thru just to take a look. Really breaks my heart.
These videos are so jawdropping. I really appreciate the videowork you do. Its so crazy that this is the united states and we have this much crumbling housing
And just to think...these neighborhoods were full of life and middle class families. Businesses, schools, stores, doctor's offices. Now look at it smh its terrible what happened to most midwestern cities. Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc same shit
I will live in area, over the filthy suburbs anytime. At least it real! The so called suburbs are just as bad , with clean streets and nicely cut yards, overprice houses. Evil as they come with smiling faces 🤪
This area only 30 years ago was beautiful. The brickwork, structure and overall architecture in these now abandoned houses was amazing. Imagine the kids playing in the streets, parents going to/from work, the cookouts and parties. At the time it still was "dangerous" in the eyes of many, but if you minded your own business 9/10 the crime passed you by.
From what I understand, a lot of people set fire to there houses on purpose, to collect on the insurance money. I suppose this is because of the rapidly dropping property values. They would never be able to sell the house and their money back
So very sad... I can't imagine how hard it must be for the families that still do live in the same neighborhood, must be terrible to be the only inhabitants of a whole block of derelict houses... Scary to! ☹️
As I’m laying in bed In my home at night, I’m literally imagining if I’m in this home in a pitch dark street surrounded by abandoned houses with god knows what going on. Pretty freaky thought, you’d feel absolutely helpless at night. I know every night you’d be on edge wondering if someone is going to try your house, the one occupied house with valuables in the area. Or maybe they’ll leave it alone and just snoop around? Who knows but all the scenarios would just be freaky and too much to be able to live there. Even if I didn’t have a family I wouldn’t do it unless I had a death wish.
I'm from the area and still live here. A lot of homeowners lost their home to banks due to those ridiculous mortgages. Detroit was impacted the worse and the homes were never reoccupied.
This is why blacks are being forced out of our cities because we don't have any money to fix up our neighborhoods but, we'll do stupid stuff like buys cars; cars don't hold any value . We need put our money in real estate and build up and keep our neighborhoods up. Our priorities is mixed up then when we're faced with change then we want to blame everyone except ourselves!
Thank our goverment for that. They did this TO YOU. PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT WAS BY DESIGN. Then they stole all the fathers away. Then they lured all the single moms away and Hell run riot. It's not your fault my fault. Our own goverment made this fuckery. Them fucks!!
It is quite apparent that Detroit’s comeback is limited to the downtown/mid-town/cork-town areas. The city of Detroit is one of the largest (by square miles) cities in the US yet the social-economical effects of the last 50-60 years are still with us today. It’s tough to be a local and see the deep neighborhoods of Detroit look like this.
@@trillythagr8259 you stayed close to all them Chaldeans living on 7 mile and John R. That neighborhood was flooded with Chaldeans in the 70s, 80s, 90s, until the mid 2000s...they started coming to Detroit from Iraq in the 60s. Saddam Hussein even got the key to the city in the 80s when he donated a lot of money to the first Chaldean church in America right there on the corner of 7 mile & Danbury street (still standing but it got closed and sold). Crazy thing is that hood don't look much better than Iraq now, you right it's like a 3rd world country
CharlieBo313 Your videos are very well done. Can you do a drive through video of the hoods of Greenville, Mississippi? I know a 90 year old woman who would love to see it. :-) Edit: Since she is 90 years old, if you are going to make this video sooner than later would be best I think. :-) Thanks so very much.
Boston *tesla neighborhood it should be called. But i guess the boston edison neighborhood is where the ppl live that ripped off the rest of the city. Lol i hope you see the irony.
You're not allowed to imagine things back in the 50s. Liberals will call you a racist. But you can certainly look at Detroit in 2019 and bear witness to what those exact same Liberals have done with their failing policies.
@@DenyBlackburn Nope. That's what happens when your city has a full blown riot (1960s) and the city never recovered. People moved out. Those who were left were unable to care for the city. Then there's fatherless homes, corrupt mayors, drugs... etc...
What's the trend here? What's the common denominator? I see areas like this in Chicago and around Chicago like Robbins IL. There are jobs around to pay for and maintain houses. Does everyone not want to say it? An overwhelming amount of certain type of people. Certain ones. A group within a group
John C You're full of it! The once great cities of the USA, and there are dozens of them, are predominantly black! That's the reason they became that way! Leadership didn't help the problem, but also didn't cause the problem! Wake up and stop pandering to people who don't give a shit about anything!
Why can't grown men play basketball ? Just because you see someone for 10 seconds in a video doesn't mean they don't work. How did you find time to watch and comment on this video ? Is it your day off ?
Only if your just scared do you keep rolling lmao dont judge if ya never been least detroit aint got lil kids rapper like most citys do but you must mind your bussines down in the D because you will end up in one of them abandoned houses👈👈💯💯
@@brandinboyd4724 I live in the Detroit metro... I know. Myself and plenty of people I know have had people pull on car door handles at stop signs. Thats why you dont stop lol.
I was born & raised in Detroit a lot of these pictures are old & the buildings have long been torn down it's just the rich trying to take back a city that they left & a mayor who is a complete puppet for the rich and makes a point not to do anything in the neighborhood & only spending on the downtown area
I turn on my playlist while I watch your videos. I do a little Wale (Jeremih) On Chill: "We be on that tragedy for months, why won't you agree with me for once...?" or Amy Winehouse: "Love is a Losing Game"
I grew up in that neighborhood this picture is of LaSalle heading to Glendale I grew up on Calvert and LaSalle right behind Durfee Jr high's parking lot!
Mayor duggan didn't do it this city was pilfered buyer mayor that ran it for over 20 years and then was run by another crook duggan is trying to clean up the mess get it right I am a white blue collar worker that lives in the city of Detroit and loves the city of Detroit every city has every city has homeless and every city has Gatos why not ride around the nice parts of the city instead of the ghettos this city has more heart and culture than any city in the United States hands down
@@d-boyzeighteenhundred I've never lived there just tooled around looking for weed and beers quite a few times...compared to other cities, esp CA, Detroit seemed desolate to me esp in the cold
I'm starting to believe all those abandoned, burnt out houses are actually secret hide outs for criminal elements. I mean why else would a criminal hang out in such a lousy looking neighborhood? There has to be some sort of conspiracy, as to why these houses still exist.
Im from Detroit (lived in West and Northwest for 23 years).Though alot of Detroit looks like this, particularly most of the east side and parts of the west side. However, Northwest Detroit which is a VERY LARGE SECTION (many, many miles) is quite GORGEOUS AND DISTINCTIVE!! Even though these homes are very large that you see in this video, most of them are duplexes. triplexes and even 4 family homes in each structure. Northwest DETROIT homes are mostly craftsman singular dwelling/homes. There is still some abandoned homes but on a small scale compared to WEST Detroit. Northwest Detroit have countless mansions that exceed a million dollars each (which is considered extremely expensive in the State of Michigan). Palmar Park, Sherwood Forest, The University District, Rosedale Park are northwest Detroit communities with extraordinary built gems in OVERALL beautiful condition.
@@dreadlyfe2746 never said all , said most of Eastside. Yes, English Village, some 8 mile neighborhoods, some Jefferson Ave neighborhoods, Indian Village and a few smaller pockets are nice but being an AVID bike rider that has been through and through more parts of Detroit than probably most Detroiters, with family who lived throughout most areas of Detroit, well facts are facts. With that being said, please face the facts of the "overall" devastation of the Eastside. It is the poorest area with the oldest homes that were made from "on a large part" wood framed structures that are not kept and of little value. "A great deal" of the Eastside homes are gone and been replaced with weeds and grass. I never said it is absolutely bad but anyone who truly knows Detroit knows that "Northwest Detroit" is the most beautiful part of Detroit overall which is an absolute fact. That is all I was trying to point out.
No they spent all their money on the 98 Lincoln Town car with big chrome rims...the hell with paying the rent or cutting the grass, I look cool in my Lincoln!!! Lol
Amid the decay, there are a few houses being nicely kept up! Flowers and mowed lawns-how depressing to realize that your house , despite all your hard work, is worthless.
That started out as a memorial to someone who had gotten killed there and then took on a "life of its own"... To make things worse, many of the bottles are still full of their original liquor !
Actually, I'm from Baltimore ( thanks for thinking me a local ! ) and was watching a video on The Shea Show channel where he and a couple of others visit this house while visiting a house that he is rehabbing across the street from it...
it makes no sense to me that their are so many homeless people around the city and country,and these premises are empty and left to rott,can't the mayor and the police and the social infrastructure get together and get these places active to house and get folks to work again ? it's a damn shame ..
