@@JessePinkmansMomI went into Detroit for the forst time 2 weeks ago. Ive lived in Jackson Michigan nearly my whole life and was always told Detroit was a dive. Holy hell- I loved it!! We went to this huge mall and drove around some incredibly beautiful areas. I would live there in a heartbeat!
@@ASMRLostinrelaxationReally the majority of Michigan’s economy is within and around Detroit along with so much comeback and activities. I have lived in the area for years after growing up near Saginaw and its unbelievable the bad rap Detroit gets from Michiganders in other parts of the state.
Out of the dark side of Detroit, awakes the true beauty of homes that were meant to be beautiful. Thank you to the people who dedicated there time to restore these homes of yesteryear. If walls could talk...😊❤ If walls could talk...it would tell the history of what it has seen.
@@EvettecordI grew up in Detroit. I went to college in Detroit. I had jobs in Detroit. I bought my first home in Detroit. I love Detroit! Do you think a 5'2", entitled (lol) white woman, would do all that if I was afraid of Detroit?
I work construction and love when we get jobs in Detroit proper. I think the city has some absolutely beautiful architecture thats just been neglected for so long. Every job is one step closer to making my city beautiful again.
That first house i want to say was over by where the brewster projects used to be and the other was on E. Grand Blvd, my grandparents used to tell me stories how the houses were beyond immaculate in the 50's.
Nice to see history being valued and restored..these homes were once owned by people that were the leaders in our work force really glad to see some of these homes rebuilt and revived for many years to come...keep history alive people..
WOW 😲😳 Il HOLY CRAP! I KNOW THIS HOUSE. When I first moved to Detroit I was snapping photos of the inner city houses - police came by and said I had to leave because it was to dangerous and escorted me out. I worked in publishing in Detroit for over a decade. Then- at an art fair - I stumbled upon a photo of THIS VERY HOME - in ruins. The house I was clicking photos of ..now this? Too eerie. Maybe I lived there in the past. I moved to MI in the late 90's.
@@buttertoast1146no. It fell one GOOD TIME in the 60’s and never recovered. Ass hole. Once it’s done it’s done it won’t be back to how it is / was. “5” years. Tell me your white and racist without telling me ... that city was one of the standards back In the day. It wasn’t the standard than the hood than the standard than the hood again. Once it’s done it’s done. Stop being such a blatant ignorant liar.
@@buttertoast1146Said by someone who has never even visited. The city is 138 sqare miles. The new development has been going from the river north. Most of the places you can see still falling apart are in the NE of the city.
If you live in Detroit, you’d know there are numerous neighborhoods like this that were abandoned and in neglect, I’d rather it have some nice historic and restored buildings than condemned hellholes. And yeah rich people live in them just like they do in other cities, so what’s the issue? They’ve been like that for decades, at least someone’s putting the work in to preserve the history and buildings of the city.
@@bigthiccboi137 ...Gentrification is not necessarily a bad thing. One of the benefits or side affects depending on your viewpoint is that it raises the cost of living in surrounding areas. There are laws against forcing people from their homes...very little on pricing them out of their homes.
@@hjjr-se5jvgood should price out all the trash.. if they can’t afford it or kept it nice before who cares what they think.. typical black wasn’t me attitude 🖕
They started doing this to the street my mom grew up on. It was so sad to see her childhood home run down and condemned, but a sense of joy was brought back when useful and meaningful houses are getting put back. Detroit's coming back around
There were a few streets by Wayne State when I was going there in the mid 90s of old vacant houses like these and I always thought how awesome it would be to renovate them. I wonder if any in this video are these houses?
I'm so happy so see Detroit and Windsor finally make a come back. The rust belt has been down and out for over 2 decades, it's nice to see things starting to turn around
All of um are the best. They rag on my city so much. My city was done so wrong in so many ways. They did us wrong by taking from it and I'm talking about those that are guilty of doing so. We are making a come back and thanks to those that help do as such by rebuilding and bringing jobs. All of these house rebuilt are beautiful.
At 34 seconds theres a house that transitions to a apartment complex. The house was known as "ol slumpy" in Detroit urban explorer circles. If I remember correctly, it was moved from its original place many years ago. It used to have copper banding holding the terracotta tile work in place awaiting restoration. Here's a link for real time decay. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2RSlmDEQLFg.html Short history on the house.. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Livingstone_House
I live about 45 mins from Detroit, absolutely love that city. The amount of abandoned/derelict homes is incredibly sad so seeing them be brought back to life so beautifully is amazing. Too many videos of just the countless busted ass places in the D, this makes me so happy!
These make me a lot happier than the rundown progression. One on the corner of Peterborough and Park is unreal. Looks like they had to rebuild that thing from the ground up
I'm from Atlanta and Detroit's before and afters look eerily similar to Atlanta. Something tells me that just like Atlanta, there's a darker history behind all these renovations.
5th one is even better in person. I did a lot of work there and its just beautiful. Anyone wondering where it is, its in John R street and south of Mack ave.
#comebackcity This just scratches the surface of all the projects being done in Detroit. I could literally write a long paragraph of all the stuff happening rite now...
