There's something weirdly hypnotic and beautiful about these videos... Just the ambient sounds of the neighbourhood, and the sight of nature slowly taking back what mankind built. It's like looking at old Roman Ruins somehow
@Solitary confirmed Shitzophrenic I am wondering if this will happen to every community where a white flight occurs or whether it has a lot to do with the changing economy, loss of industry too..
The night scenes give me flashbacks of the time I noticed my final "low fuel" indicator went off as I was trying desperately to escape from an impossible maze of one-way street neighborhoods and find my way back to the safety of I-75/I-85N. I can honestly say that my feelings were *not* generated from any self-held bias or prejudice -- My fear and apprehension kicked in about the time that I was clearly (and loudly) barked orders from 4 "whup-my-ass-sized" dudes as I drove by them -- "Get yo WHITE ass OUTTA HERE!"
Fine young men out enjoying some fresh air and a coffee with there friends . Must have lots of energy since I’m assuming they are up early to go to work he next day
@@Johnnywhamo: Hold your ammo JohnnyWhamo! From 6:00 to 7:35 here an honest, enterprising & hard working young man amply demonstrates that at least one sector of the auto industry is thriving. If you work, you get paid.
Princess Chewie Its all George Bush's fault and those damn racist Colombian farmers growing black coffee beans just so Starbucks and whitey can grind and boil them!😲
yep. I live in a once beautiful neiborhood. It's not all black people, because I'm black and, some of my black neibor take care of our homes. It's the section 8 black people, and the drug dealers, and thugs who destroy, and black Democrat politicians are corrupted.
These folks are all employed they work third shift! They all work for AB&ES LLC. That stands for American Breaking & Entering Services, a Limited Liability Corporation.
fatsackcat build the Mexican wall and make sure the Mexican side gets painted last hire these mf to do it when there done tell them good luck in Mexico lol that's what they need
Yeah, because Detroit has been fucked by decades of bad governance, $18 billion in debt, and property value totaling less than $10 billion (used to be $45 billion!)
Sad to see what Detroit has become. It once strived off the the automobile industry and was quickly becoming one of the largest cities in the country. Now the only people still living there just can't gather enough cash to move.
Obama was one of the most globalist pres ever, hes put the middle east in fire and he is the responsible of the migrant crisis . he bomb 7 country in 8 yr , he give your money to save failing banks do i need to continue ?
frandroid88 food stamps. I don't understand much of it myself (as an American) but it is welfare, the way of feeding yourself if you a) are approved for it and b) broke enough. In a nutshell, it is government assistance (welfare/food stamps)

Looks like the west side of chicago and I been there and someone tryed to shot me and my friend with a firework on the fourth of july and we had to run
I remember those neighborhoods in the mid-60s ... block upon block of well-kept homes, owned by honest working class folks of all races. They didn't have a whole lot, but took pride in what they did have and were willing to share with neighbors. There 'weren't "strip malls" or even mega-malls back then. It seemed that each neighborhood had their local shops and stores, lining streets like Canfield, Mack, Jefferson, Harper, etc. There would be the pharmacy on a corner, next to the bookstore, which was next to the barbershop - which was across the street from the dentist that was next to the law office. on the end of the block was the neighborhood bar, where everybody knew your name. There would be a butcher shop .. with sawdust on the floor and a barrel of huge dill pickles in the back. Many of these stores had living quarters upstairs, where the owners often lived. A few blocks away would be the neighborhood grocery store ... small by today's standards, but its where you shopped for the stuff you couldn't get from the butcher or baker.....or even the vegetable truck that toured the neighborhood streets, selling fresh from the farm fruits n veggies. The ice cream truck - Good Humor - came around each evening in the summer, with the bells jingling. The driver carried his "change machine" on his belt - not a 9mm.
Randy. Keep the faith. Things are changing for the better. I grew up in Cork Town. The difference is my wife, who is a teacher, refused to leave. I grew up parking cars at the Firestone store on Michigan Avenue across from Tiger Stadium. My son still lives in the family house. We now live downtown. Things are getting better. Downtown is booming. Ford just bought Michigan Central Station. I have seen several "comebacks" mis fire. This one feels real. It will take a while before it hits the neighborhoods in a meaningful way but I am actually starting to believe it will happen. My wife never gave up. She sits on every citizen committee imaginable. It will never be what it was in the fifties and sixties but young people are moving in in droves. I never thought I would live to see it.
There were a lot of neighborhoods where the lots were just 50 (or so) X 100 ... now all vacant land. Always wondered why developers didn't gobble up some of that real estate and combine several smaller lots into larger ones and put some truly decent houses on them. For The D to really make a true comeback, the courts are going to have to stop having revolving doors and get TOUGH on crime - even if they have to resort to Tent Jails.
Six Mile - kind of a small world ... My Dad worked at Tiger Stadium for about 14 years as Head Groundskeeper/Stadium Superintendent ... I sorta grew up in the place. I spent many days shagging fly balls in the outfield during batting practice for the names that Detroiters loved - Kaline, Northrup, Cash, Brown, Horton, Freehan, Stanley, McAuliffe, Oyler, etc etc etc. I often wonder what happened to the great photos and memorabilia that adorned the walls of the Stadium Bar across the street?
People need to start campaigning to bring factories back to Detroit. Shoe factories, shirts, electronis. It would be good for Detroit great for America. It can be done.
Looks like a great place to live, I'm going to move me and my family there right away. Can't wait to see the look on my beautiful wifes face, isabella will be delighted.
Not surprising...me and my boyfriend were at a Dunkin Donuts in this area a few months back and I had some guy tap me on the shoulder and point to a baggy in his pocket...literally got offered drugs while we were just standing in line to get some donuts lmao
You can get anything from Mack&Bewick parking lot.I lived around the corner on St. Clair from the ages of 9-21& that store was really off the chain.I Love that neighborhood but it hurts my heart to see it rot away like that.
but in all seriousness, thank you for the awesome videos. very humbling perspective, really makes me appreciate the plush lifestyle most Americans take for granted.
I don't blame the lower class, poverty level individuals who live there. The economy suffered and Detroit went with it. These guys are making use of the leftovers. It's just the way it is, and there's no profit for a millionaire to buy any house and renovate it. No sense
The architecture of the houses that are still in good shape is impressive. All the trees and greenery. It looks like they were once beautiful neighborhoods. It would be great if the people have a chance to bring Detroit back.
I live about 15 minutes from here and my parents grew up in Detroit.. It was a beautiful city along time ago.. And my heart breaks for the families that live there now for most living there its survival mode..
Will DeLozier umm fyi black people have been in Detroit since the 1700's through the highs and lows of the city so dont say black people. If you want to say drug dealers, thieves, and corrupt politicians who have stolen millions from the city than say that dont say black people. And usually when someone starts a sentence off with not to be racist but.. it usually is.
Was waiting for this. Take a trip to central PA then head south down the Appalachians to Georgia. Then cut through the backwoods of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. Tell me how superior the white race is then.
The mountain folk and southerns are incredibly nice people and won't shank you for looking at them funny. They indeed have a superior culture to the blacks living in Detroit.
I live in Detroit and you picked a specific part at the right time. The city is beautiful with beautiful people. Some of the hardest working and never give up people around. People can bash it all they want but if I went to any poverty stricken area in the country at night you'll see this. What did you see other than people outside hanging? Smh I hope you show other parts of the city as well. Its in a revival stage and is being rebuilt as we speak. Love Detroit!! Always
@Micheal Gonzalez I definitely know what being poor feels like & I respect anybody who's willing to earn their money (regardless of how they do it) instead of just begging for it!!! It shows pride, I may be down but I'm still holding my head up, that deserves respect IMO!!!!
Salai Niccolo I feel that some bp are to lazy to look at they're selves and realize that they need to make the change and get a fucking job but I know it's not that easy for some but I mean good Lord this is pure laziness my man
Detroit is a city I'm proud to say I grew up in. There's great people within those boarders. The city has taking an economic beating but it is the GOOD people of the city that hold that city together. Thanks for the upload, and keep it up.
I was seeing some information and I knew that Detroit was once a thriving city in the 1950s. In the last decades it has lost industries, leaving today abandoned houses, a city "forgotten" by politicians etc ... Still I admire the legacy she has .. Land of Motown Records, Aretha Franklin and Steven Seagal👍💪. I am from Brazil and I leave here my affection to the Americans!🇺🇸🇺🇸😊
Why the fuck is there so many people just loitering around in an abandoned neighbourhood? If these "thugs" had a brain they would buy these properties for dirt cheap, fix them up, work together as a community and repair the houses and live a normal life. Thousands of "thugs" and teens wandering abandoned streets seems like a pathetic life.
I Absolutely agree with you !! i know i would be out at least trying my best to clean up,and all of my brothers are builders,they would love to get their hands on these houses..
Dude. You're talking about buying property with existing structures (easily $10K starting), repair fees (upwards of $50K with the damage on a lot of these properties), and overcoming a subversive mentality of defeatism as if it was easy as getting out of bed.
+Gods_Assassin That's a good idea, but at this point it's not possible anymore. It's too far gone. It's like spraying perfume on a turd. The best thing is to have the last person in Detroit to turn off the lights before they leave and then level the whole damn city and rebuilt from scratch.
I lived in Detroit in the 80s and I enjoyed every moment I spend there I remember the school like today me and my sisters were the few whites😳 but we never had a problem. People were friendly and beautiful Sad 😢 to see Detroit like that don’t look the same
I watch these videos and realise that because of my hard work my family live in a nice house in a safe area. I’m not lucky or was given anything, I just worked for it! I admire the guy with the red bag cleaning the headlamps, he’s not perfect by a long way but is trying to earn a living the best way he can!
Barry Scott-Scheiern this is such a gross generalization. these men you saw could work jobs with unusual hours. maybe they worked the night shift, factory hours that start early in the morning and end in the afternoon, or maybe they work 4 days a week, or maybe it was a day off. not everyone works a 9-5.
squid2007 Buy a block of houses, renovate them to mansion-status, allowing only the actually normal people in with high class security to fight against thugs, there you can party and safely crack open a cold one with the boys as you expand your Detroit middle/high-class renovation and employed empire.
@armadillo platypus *in da hood folk. Not just black people, I'm white and have met some very nice black people in my city. Race doesn't define behavior.
I think your videos are amazing thanks so much for doing them. You're showing a part of the city that no one sees unless they're there. But it's a part that people should see and know that it exists.
Hi, I'm really liking these videos. I'm wondering if you can speak a bit more in them? Like talk about what you're seeing and stuff. You got a really cool and deep voice for videos like this, I might sound weird lmao. I've heard it from your prositute video, and it's a voice you definetely shouldn't be hiding. It'd be cool if you had a bit of commentary while driving around.
My great grandmother lived in that area. Her house along with one other was the only occupied house on a block of around 10. I look at this city and think of what it used to be 😟.
I see a lot of opportunity for the youth to engage in rewarding service projects; weeding, repainting buildings, trash pickup. Gosh, what a blessing these Detroit youth have been given.
DETROIT IS NOT THAT BAD. This man had to film this on Friday or Saturday. Hell yeah, it looks like trash city but,That because, no one wants to do anything for the city. White people solution is to move all the black people out of the metro area and bringing jobs that is only qualified for middle class white people or above. They damn near not even funding the public schools. So how can you expect this city to look like utopia. I personally love Detroit. We just need to re-build the houses and have a melting pot city.
lived in Detroit all my life growing up but wow now don't even go there,,like police chief said years ago if come to Detroit bring protection because when call 911 might take hr or so before police arrive.. anyways two biggest things I got from Detroit is meeting kid rock at a bar in Detroit years ago richieeeee lol and seeing sugarman play a set at a dive bar in Detroit until they found him from south Africa and he went touring,,hell of a shy guy and nice to talk to...kind of a hippy type..but loved playing his guitar always had it on him..be safe out there people..robert
If you guys know Pomona, (a city about 30 miles east of LA) it has this exact problem. It used to be a very beautiful city. You can tell by the same Victorian style architecture in the destroyed houses. But now it is scary and ugly.
Of course they are... They certainly aren't paying to live somewhere so might as well drive around in something nice to sell those drugs...they invested in their livelihood!
I thank God for SAVING,Healing and delivering me from this dark place.Yes, I was born and raised from Detroit , Detroit Eastside.. NOOO life wasn't easy there at all I seen many things experience much.. I had 4 children out of wedlock.. I'm not ashamed. Through it all I've managed 8 certification criminal justice field,medical ,social work and many more also my high school diploma (not boasting nor bragging just sharing). I can look back and tell God thank you for allowing me to go through in a place like this. I will not forget where I come from no matter how far life take me. I thank God for the BOLDNESS he has put inside of me the courage to move to another state.. Out of every dark experience became a testimony. Out of my storms the Lord has Blessed me to write my first book out of 5 which is called SERENITY'S STRUGGLES ( based on a true story) my life experience in Detroit You guys should be a blessing .. you can find it on Amazon or BARNES and Nobles... I didn't ask to be born in Detroit city like that but God knew what I would have to go through before I was formed in my Mother's womb.. Instead of judging pray pray for people to find the strength to get out a place like this.. I MUST be honest I thank God that somebody prayed for me...
Eddie Sloan Yes it was mistakes I agree but it doesn't take away the story the first book anyway I read celebraties book there first book and there were mistake I actually look at it as I made alot of mistakes in life and so does my book beside the feedback I accept the good and bad many was amaze how open I was to share my story 🙏🙏There will be more to come thank you for your concern TO GOD BE THE GLORY 👏💣🔥💣🔥🔥🔥🙌💣
Good for you!...but sadly imho I truly believe that the majority have no issues with living this way since nobody seems to be doing anything productive as you can see in the video! The ones that don't like it find a way out!
The blue house at the beginning, the point where the radio mentions raw sewage and hepatitis is quite nice, alot of these homes just need TLC and vision. It could sort out alot of problems. Love the video, from the UK
LOL: good take. Another woman put Kamala Harris in her place last night at the debates. Seems Harris has prosecuted hundreds of cases against blacks just foe simple marijuana possession. She was speechless.
As an Englishman I can't believe what I'm seeing. We have some rough shitholes over here but nothing on this scale. It looks apocalyptic. This from the richest country on earth....very sad.
You mean what has Obama done for middle class blacks, or blacks with money. If you ask them, they will say Obama did so much for them. Ask these poor people in Detroit, they will say no one has done anything for them, not even Obama Hmm, but it seems that democrats run the city en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_Detroit
that beginning, first few minutes is amazing.... you have all this decay then all of a sudden 1 immaculate home, then a burned out home.... unreal........

Was waiting for this. Take a trip to central PA then head south down the Appalachians to Georgia. Then cut through the backwoods of Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. Tell me how superior the white race is then.
Yeah then the democrats ruined it to a shithole
The mountain folk and southerns are incredibly nice people and won't shank you for looking at them funny. They indeed have a superior culture to the blacks living in Detroit.

Vermont is very liberal and very Democrat, yet no city in that state resembles this, why is that?
We love you detroit east , west , north and south. Love/light light/love. ☺ 1
I still love my city. The pain and gloom. It's all some of us know. Doesn't make us less beautiful. So what up doe to the city that made me.
I live in Detroit and you picked a specific part at the right time. The city is beautiful with beautiful people. Some of the hardest working and never give up people around. People can bash it all they want but if I went to any poverty stricken area in the country at night you'll see this. What did you see other than people outside hanging? Smh I hope you show other parts of the city as well. Its in a revival stage and is being rebuilt as we speak. Love Detroit!! Always
Thank you! They never show Rosedale Park, Sherwood Forest, or Indian Village!
Hey, at least ole dude with the red bag was workin for his money instead of just beggin!!! U gotta respect that!!!!
Atheist in Alabama u made dem dey way dey are
thabo mofokeng
😂😂😂😂OK😂😂😂😂😂
@Micheal Gonzalez
I definitely know what being poor feels like & I respect anybody who's willing to earn their money (regardless of how they do it) instead of just begging for it!!! It shows pride, I may be down but I'm still holding my head up, that deserves respect IMO!!!!
zadose Agreed! I’m not taking any chances getting jumped, robbed, or assaulted on the streets trying to be nice and help people...I’m good.
@Micheal Gonzalez I agree with zadose I don't want to have to shoot someone if I can just avoid them.
Detroit looks like Mad Max.
Look at all the fine homes and hard working people hanging out
I guess I'm not as poor as I thought I was.
ME too!!!!!!
Salai Niccolo I feel that some bp are to lazy to look at they're selves and realize that they need to make the change and get a fucking job but I know it's not that easy for some but I mean good Lord this is pure laziness my man
I'm as poor as I think I am.
Salai Niccolo Didn't know it was a competition.
That’s disrespectful😕
Depressing and mesmerizing at the same time. So sad.
I don't know why people have feel the necessity to hang out in the sidewalk instead of their backyards
Did you see that white guy?
NOPE!!
Nahh the few white crack heads stay inside or under bridges their is less tho
an endangered species here.
@Andy Bailey haha its funny cuz I dont care
@Andy Bailey do u not have something better to do?
Detroit is a city I'm proud to say I grew up in. There's great people within those boarders. The city has taking an economic beating but it is the GOOD people of the city that hold that city together. Thanks for the upload, and keep it up.
Nice to see everyone is hard at work in the middle of the day.
I was seeing some information and I knew that Detroit was once a thriving city in the 1950s. In the last decades it has lost industries, leaving today abandoned houses, a city "forgotten" by politicians etc ... Still I admire the legacy she has .. Land of Motown Records, Aretha Franklin and Steven Seagal👍💪. I am from Brazil and I leave here my affection to the Americans!🇺🇸🇺🇸😊
Seagal is from Lansing
Respect to Charlie for these top video's, I think I'm gonna stay right here in Scotland thanks :)
You’re staying in Scotland & I’ll stay in Oklahoma
Why the fuck is there so many people just loitering around in an abandoned neighbourhood? If these "thugs" had a brain they would buy these properties for dirt cheap, fix them up, work together as a community and repair the houses and live a normal life. Thousands of "thugs" and teens wandering abandoned streets seems like a pathetic life.
I Absolutely agree with you !! i know i would be out at least trying my best to clean up,and all of my brothers are builders,they would love to get their hands on these houses..
They're Homless they have absolutely nothing else to do, and the city was once a full of life now a ghost town of poverty
Dude. You're talking about buying property with existing structures (easily $10K starting), repair fees (upwards of $50K with the damage on a lot of these properties), and overcoming a subversive mentality of defeatism as if it was easy as getting out of bed.
+Gods_Assassin That's a good idea, but at this point it's not possible anymore. It's too far gone. It's like spraying perfume on a turd. The best thing is to have the last person in Detroit to turn off the lights before they leave and then level the whole damn city and rebuilt from scratch.
Gods_ Assassin Lazy and they can't read.
So many people out so late
Man there going to be tired for work tomorrow
I thought they worked at night because I saw them standing in the sidewalk doing nothing all day.
They are working its just unconventional jobs,lol.
I don't think work is a thing their

I lived in Detroit in the 80s and I enjoyed every moment I spend there I remember the school like today me and my sisters were the few whites😳 but we never had a problem. People were friendly and beautiful
Sad 😢 to see Detroit like that don’t look the same
Cool can you tell me more what was it like in more detail?
Arrgghhh matey!! Its them jews alrrrrrightt!! Arrgghh
People are the same.... still friendly af... nicer than the suburban people...
Barry White - lmfao “Jews”... wtf? Lmfao
I watch these videos and realise that because of my hard work my family live in a nice house in a safe area. I’m not lucky or was given anything, I just worked for it! I admire the guy with the red bag cleaning the headlamps, he’s not perfect by a long way but is trying to earn a living the best way he can!
I appreciate a man with a good work ethic. Who wouldn't want to give a man $5 for taking 30 seconds to wipe off my headlights?
Sounds like it went from $600 to $5 Real Quick fukkk
Mabe he did not want the beggar to kick the door of the car.
ROFL what work ethic...grow up he wanted drug money
Lots of men standing around in the middle of the work day.
No jobs or opportunities idiot
There's always a job if you look hard enough.
@@TheMark2667 I live a little further from here my dad offers jobs to them all day...guess what they never show up...most of them atleast
@@TheMark2667 of course not, the crime drove it all away
Barry Scott-Scheiern this is such a gross generalization. these men you saw could work jobs with unusual hours. maybe they worked the night shift, factory hours that start early in the morning and end in the afternoon, or maybe they work 4 days a week, or maybe it was a day off. not everyone works a 9-5.
If i win the lottery, I am definitely moving to Detroit!!
You could buy up some of those houses for $1 and flip 'em for a profit. 😁
No, you will help fix it.
If you wont the lottery you could easily buy an entire neighborhood for yourself.
You can buy your own block, hire your own private security, and fix it up the way you'd like.
squid2007 Buy a block of houses, renovate them to mansion-status, allowing only the actually normal people in with high class security to fight against thugs, there you can party and safely crack open a cold one with the boys as you expand your Detroit middle/high-class renovation and employed empire.
Who the hell stands by the side of road and harrasses cars that drive by? demented children, psychopaths? criminals?
@armadillo platypus *in da hood folk. Not just black people, I'm white and have met some very nice black people in my city. Race doesn't define behavior.
@@JW-mr5mh
No. But race has a lot to do with culture, and culture definitely influences the behaviour.
@@rotciv1492 true that. But it also depends where you live.

This is so sad to see the city I grew up in looking like this.
Yeah, say the same thing! I'm From Brazil ✌🙏.
I think your videos are amazing thanks so much for doing them. You're showing a part of the city that no one sees unless they're there. But it's a part that people should see and know that it exists.
I live here its a siht hole
go with God

they are nearly extinct

ha ha ha lol
DiablousEu. You only know what they let you see........if you wasn't Raised in Detroit......
There are countries in Africa that are better than this at least people don't walk around looking like zombies.
Hi, I'm really liking these videos. I'm wondering if you can speak a bit more in them? Like talk about what you're seeing and stuff. You got a really cool and deep voice for videos like this, I might sound weird lmao. I've heard it from your prositute video, and it's a voice you definetely shouldn't be hiding. It'd be cool if you had a bit of commentary while driving around.
word
agreed
I think he lets the vidioes/pics do the speaking, a picture is worth a thousand words,

Its beautiful, love to visit
My great grandmother lived in that area. Her house along with one other was the only occupied house on a block of around 10. I look at this city and think of what it used to be 😟.
This got to be in the new gta 8
lmao
this is what cracks me up about it.. left to their own devices=
Ulises Barrera GTA 8 lol
we really living like this!!! DETROIT ARTIST, dropping 100 songs this year SUB MY PAGE
Lmao
Used to be some BEAUTIFUL homes! Look what they've done to them!!
It's not that simple as blacks messed it up . allot of problems within communities like this are systematic
Noooooo, the blk ppl are pure co-incidental. Purley 🤔
I see a lot of opportunity for the youth to engage in rewarding service projects; weeding, repainting buildings, trash pickup. Gosh, what a blessing these Detroit youth have been given.
I love the the roadside bonfires some of them got going on.
the way I see it, that's the way most black people like it. I mean, from my experience black people prefer a nice car over a nice house.
So.
not a racist comment at all
Lol remember the plastic “spinnerz”
Gold teeth, jordans & blunts are above nice houses in their world. Seriously, they laugh at responsible people
This is why Canada needs to build a wall.
Roadghost88 ...to keep the cold polar vortex out! Ass Clown!
Roadghost88 are u acting racist
DETROIT IS NOT THAT BAD. This man had to film this on Friday or Saturday. Hell yeah, it looks like trash city but,That because, no one wants to do anything for the city. White people solution is to move all the black people out of the metro area and bringing jobs that is only qualified for middle class white people or above. They damn near not even funding the public schools. So how can you expect this city to look like utopia. I personally love Detroit. We just need to re-build the houses and have a melting pot city.
This part of Detroit doesn't border Canada. This is east side. Canada borders downtown.
I think we would be ok with that. We can make our own hockey sticks
lived in Detroit all my life growing up but wow now don't even go there,,like police chief said years ago if come to Detroit bring protection because when call 911 might take hr or so before police arrive.. anyways two biggest things I got from Detroit is meeting kid rock at a bar in Detroit years ago richieeeee lol and seeing sugarman play a set at a dive bar in Detroit until they found him from south Africa and he went touring,,hell of a shy guy and nice to talk to...kind of a hippy type..but loved playing his guitar always had it on him..be safe out there people..robert
That blue house! Behind the market I was raised there. I’m only 19 now it’s so sad seeing it like that
Oh dear, I hope they aren't staying up on the streets too late. How are they going to get to work in the morning?

@@Tixz-is7wb hahahaha that's hilarious....
If you guys know Pomona, (a city about 30 miles east of LA) it has this exact problem. It used to be a very beautiful city. You can tell by the same Victorian style architecture in the destroyed houses. But now it is scary and ugly.
Its a beautiful day in the neighbor hood a wonderful day in the neighborhood....
Shit, they’re driving nicer cars than I do...
I dont think you realise how cheap cars are in Michigan
Brandy Y. Because their cars like their home. They’ll take care of them more than their house.
Of course they are... They certainly aren't paying to live somewhere so might as well drive around in something nice to sell those drugs...they invested in their livelihood!
Brandy Y. Well but they have nun in the end of the month.
Matt Wilco no not really. I disagree and agree. Wayne county is expensive on cars, however, if you go up north then I’ll agree with you.
I thank God for SAVING,Healing and delivering me from this dark place.Yes, I was born and raised from Detroit , Detroit Eastside.. NOOO life wasn't easy there at all I seen many things experience much.. I had 4 children out of wedlock.. I'm not ashamed. Through it all I've managed 8 certification criminal justice field,medical ,social work and many more also my high school diploma (not boasting nor bragging just sharing). I can look back and tell God thank you for allowing me to go through in a place like this. I will not forget where I come from no matter how far life take me. I thank God for the BOLDNESS he has put inside of me the courage to move to another state.. Out of every dark experience became a testimony. Out of my storms the Lord has Blessed me to write my first book out of 5 which is called SERENITY'S STRUGGLES ( based on a true story) my life experience in Detroit You guys should be a blessing .. you can find it on Amazon or BARNES and Nobles... I didn't ask to be born in Detroit city like that but God knew what I would have to go through before I was formed in my Mother's womb.. Instead of judging pray pray for people to find the strength to get out a place like this.. I MUST be honest I thank God that somebody prayed for me...
God bless you for getting out and having a very successful life!👍👍👍👍
Evan Abbott To God be the glory 🙌🙌🙌
Eddie Sloan Yes it was mistakes I agree but it doesn't take away the story the first book anyway I read celebraties book there first book and there were mistake I actually look at it as I made alot of mistakes in life and so does my book beside the feedback I accept the good and bad many was amaze how open I was to share my story 🙏🙏There will be more to come thank you for your concern TO GOD BE THE GLORY 👏💣🔥💣🔥🔥🔥🙌💣
Good for you!...but sadly imho I truly believe that the majority have no issues with living this way since nobody seems to be doing anything productive as you can see in the video! The ones that don't like it find a way out!
Hail Satan
The blue house at the beginning, the point where the radio mentions raw sewage and hepatitis is quite nice, alot of these homes just need TLC and vision. It could sort out alot of problems. Love the video, from the UK
Reparations would fix this neighborhood right up. I can see they spend money wisely.
LOL: good take. Another woman put Kamala Harris in her place last night at the debates. Seems Harris has prosecuted hundreds of cases against blacks just foe simple marijuana possession. She was speechless.

Dave 983 welcome to America :)
Remind me again, what did Obama do for Detroit?
What has any politician done for Detroit. Politicians are parasites. Anyone who relies on them or thinks they make any city better is a fool.
What have you done for Detroit?
The state is controlled by Republicans
chas lewless So, Detoilet has been one party rule basically forever. That argument doesn't work. Detoilet is SHIT, always was and always will.
You mean what has Obama done for middle class blacks, or blacks with money. If you ask them, they will say Obama did so much for them. Ask these poor people in Detroit, they will say no one has done anything for them, not even Obama
Hmm, but it seems that democrats run the city

I would be afraid to even stop at the Stop signs, and I grew up down there. (7 mile and Hoover)

Pffft, I'm a furriner, this don't look too bad. Providing I'm allowed to carry a weapon lol.
At least the people in Detroit have freedom, not something you'd say about North Korea. I'd rather live in freedom.
