Bro houses like that are 800k to a mill in Vancouver bc and don’t have half the yard space like damnnnnn that’s crazy how many bandos there are like half the houses are abandon
@@Bvetrayed the crime in Detroit WAS pretty high when I was growing up due to drugs. (Late 80s early 90s) Addicts would burglarize homes to the point people either had bars put on their windows and doors, had a bunch of people living at their home so someone was always home (like my family) or both. Just about everyone had guns. And neighborhood watch and block clubs were the main backbone of families working together to survive with their property intact. Street level drug dealers made insane amounts of money back then. So the toughest neighborhoods with the most impoverished folk got hit the most often and the hardest. You're talking about folk, who didn't even have a pot to piss in one moment, suddenly being able to buy a brand new foreign car after selling drugs for a month or even a week - virtually overnight. You're talking about the ugliest dude then being able to date the hottest chick, etcetera. So drug dealers became violently territorial .. or just plain violent in general. Drive-bys, shootouts, homes and businesses blown up or set aflame to kill rivals. This video shows the results of all that and the '67 riots before that. (Detroit didn't get Federal funding to repair the damages from the race riots or any riots for that matter like all the other big cities did before or since. So many places in Detroit remained damaged.) Some dealers didn't take it seriously and let the money go to their head and effed up the re up money to the point they didn't have enough to repay their connect for the drugs they got on consignment - but they got the flashy car, the drip, etc. They came up missing. But, for the most part, if you were in a neighborhood with a strong block club, a strong community, and weren't "about that life" then you pretty much didn't have anything to worry about - so long as you didn't do anything stupid like cashing you paycheck at the corner store on a Friday and count the money in front everyone in a flashy way for all the world to see. (This would be like a young teenager who didn't have a bank account yet or some old wino who's too drunk to pay attention to what he's doing and where he's doing it.) So, not only would you get robbed, but now folk are looking for you the subsequent Fridays again - even if you go to a different store.
@Lady Detroit 313 I am hoping he shows these neighborhoods to shame the people in charge to do something about these abandon houses and buildings. So much cheap land that could be developed for homes and businesses.
@Caucasian Rider First of all nobody is judging nobody so what the hell you talking about what the hell do this have to do with Japanese white people We're talking about the way the houses look so take your dumb ass back to bed
Definitely makes me appreciate the life I have. How lucky I was to be born into a loving family and having a nice home and neighborhood to live in. Its hard for people to grow up and get themselves out of neighborhoods like this. Everything is so dang expensive.
@Cainneach Z They're dead, so it's not really scary, just creepy. Now, if they actually did reanimate somehow and scare you, that'd be pretty terrifying.
@Demontae Vibes: Fear is on residents' mind but everyone learn to suppress that fear. When I left Detroit in 1977 and went overseas to a very peaceful place, that is when I realized how stressful it was in Detroit at the time. When I left, I could walk the streets at night and not look over my shoulder or keep a weapon handy.
No resale value, taxes probably suck. They probably stay there till they die or just walk away. Check out The Shea Show channel, he rehabs Detroit property, gets fucked over a lot by the tenants.😓☹️
At one point it was one of the bigger cities in the world by population and in the 50s was thriving at one point Cleveland and Detroit were like dream cities in the world that’s crazy
Be careful doing that. A lot of the reason for these houses being abandoned in such abundance is because they're full of lead and asbestos. It wasn't worth renovating, because there isn't anyone left to move in, so they just left it to rot.
@@puck30: In 1968 I purchased a repo home on Detroit West Side for just under $5,000, spent less then $1,000 to repair it, sold it in 1977 for $10,000. I was paid a housing allowance by my employer to live there so I made out well. The person I sold it to sold it to one of those mega churches and that is what's sitting on the spot today.

There still seem to be people living in some of these houses. This must be so sad, when your whole neighbourhood is destroyed and you are practically in a ghost town.
I mean, not far off. Biff implemented laissez-faire capitalism, and pretty much this was the result. Meanwhile in the real world, freewheeling capitalists took all of the jobs that made Detroit rich and gave them to slaves in countries with no workers' rights, and this is the result.
Homelessness is a mentality that can't be changed unless the person is ready to change...it's a lifestyle that's embraced and accepted by unfortunate ones....

Greetings from Italy. ( btw we have places like look like Chernobyl or Detroit here in Italy too)
yeah lol they kind of did. My friend and roommates live in a huge house together for dirt cheap. Beautiful wide wooden staircase with a reading nook halfway up and big windows, banister statue at the bottom of the stairs, maids quarters, 3 stories, beautiful carved wood everywhere, hexagonal bathroom tile, beautiful original finishes probably dating to at least the 50’s if not earlier. Somewhat worn down but still gorgeous and filled with character.
Yea this is one of those neighborhoods. Most of the houses look really good minus the aging. Back when they were built these were the wealthier people of Detroit. Not necessarily the multimillionaires but the small bussiness owners, doctors, and lawyers. The city was screwed by everyone both its politicians and citizens.
Yup. Then the automotive industry left the town for cheaper areas and no industry took its place. At its prime over 1.6 million lived there I believe, now its not even 700k. If over a million people are fleeing your city you know its been abandoned by its politicians.
Actually it went to shit when Democrats took office. It's been all down hill since, just like every other city they ruin. Chicago, St Louis, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, and Atlanta have all become sh💩t holes. You can actually see the stats of just how fast the transition happens too. First they tax the base to death forcing them to leave, then the businesses leave because of lack of customers and Crime. Then they let crime take over before complaining that they don't have the money to fix it. Los Angeles is basically the only exception, but that's mainly due to the fact the tax base is still there.

I grew up on the West Side. Almost every neighborhood is like that.
No. No it's not. Also grew up on the west side.

@@scottdatplanetsave was there a lot of crime?
@@Bvetrayed the crime in Detroit WAS pretty high when I was growing up due to drugs. (Late 80s early 90s)
Addicts would burglarize homes to the point people either had bars put on their windows and doors, had a bunch of people living at their home so someone was always home (like my family) or both. Just about everyone had guns. And neighborhood watch and block clubs were the main backbone of families working together to survive with their property intact.
Street level drug dealers made insane amounts of money back then. So the toughest neighborhoods with the most impoverished folk got hit the most often and the hardest. You're talking about folk, who didn't even have a pot to piss in one moment, suddenly being able to buy a brand new foreign car after selling drugs for a month or even a week - virtually overnight. You're talking about the ugliest dude then being able to date the hottest chick, etcetera. So drug dealers became violently territorial .. or just plain violent in general. Drive-bys, shootouts, homes and businesses blown up or set aflame to kill rivals. This video shows the results of all that and the '67 riots before that. (Detroit didn't get Federal funding to repair the damages from the race riots or any riots for that matter like all the other big cities did before or since. So many places in Detroit remained damaged.) Some dealers didn't take it seriously and let the money go to their head and effed up the re up money to the point they didn't have enough to repay their connect for the drugs they got on consignment - but they got the flashy car, the drip, etc. They came up missing.
But, for the most part, if you were in a neighborhood with a strong block club, a strong community, and weren't "about that life" then you pretty much didn't have anything to worry about - so long as you didn't do anything stupid like cashing you paycheck at the corner store on a Friday and count the money in front everyone in a flashy way for all the world to see. (This would be like a young teenager who didn't have a bank account yet or some old wino who's too drunk to pay attention to what he's doing and where he's doing it.) So, not only would you get robbed, but now folk are looking for you the subsequent Fridays again - even if you go to a different store.
Imagine living in the only habitable house in a 4 block radius. I'm pretty sure it would freak me out.
Well that's just sad if I only have the good house in the whole neighborhood
everyone's lazy ass would want it instead of fixing one if there own
Better pimp up that house to a castle before it gets pimped...

@Cainneach Z They're dead, so it's not really scary, just creepy. Now, if they actually did reanimate somehow and scare you, that'd be pretty terrifying.
@Demontae Vibes: Fear is on residents' mind but everyone learn to suppress that fear. When I left Detroit in 1977 and went overseas to a very peaceful place, that is when I realized how stressful it was in Detroit at the time.
When I left, I could walk the streets at night and not look over my shoulder or keep a weapon handy.

Those houses are so beautiful and so big! I can’t believe people just left them to rot! I just started exploring Detroit and it’s a huge city!
No resale value, taxes probably suck. They probably stay there till they die or just walk away. Check out The Shea Show channel, he rehabs Detroit property, gets fucked over a lot by the tenants.😓☹️
You could fit Manhattan,San Francisco and Boston inside the city limits.No joke.It IS huge!
At one point it was one of the bigger cities in the world by population and in the 50s was thriving at one point Cleveland and Detroit were like dream cities in the world that’s crazy
Be careful doing that. A lot of the reason for these houses being abandoned in such abundance is because they're full of lead and asbestos. It wasn't worth renovating, because there isn't anyone left to move in, so they just left it to rot.
@@puck30: In 1968 I purchased a repo home on Detroit West Side for just under $5,000, spent less then $1,000 to repair it, sold it in 1977 for $10,000. I was paid a housing allowance by my employer to live there so I made out well.
The person I sold it to sold it to one of those mega churches and that is what's sitting on the spot today.
I remember driving around the west side with a visiting relative from New Orleans during the holidays and he joked about how it looked like Katrina had hit but with snow 😅

Thank you for slowing down long enough at the intersections and businesses so i could look them up on Google Maps. Keep doing that it's interesting to look those areas up. If you could narrate the street names too that would be great.

I mean, not far off. Biff implemented laissez-faire capitalism, and pretty much this was the result. Meanwhile in the real world, freewheeling capitalists took all of the jobs that made Detroit rich and gave them to slaves in countries with no workers' rights, and this is the result.

Some of those houses have 3 apartments with families
Solid brick homes constructed meticulously by God-fearing, mass-going Italians back in the 40's 50's....
yeah lol they kind of did. My friend and roommates live in a huge house together for dirt cheap. Beautiful wide wooden staircase with a reading nook halfway up and big windows, banister statue at the bottom of the stairs, maids quarters, 3 stories, beautiful carved wood everywhere, hexagonal bathroom tile, beautiful original finishes probably dating to at least the 50’s if not earlier. Somewhat worn down but still gorgeous and filled with character.
Around 70% of its population left since the early 2000’s
I can only imagine what some of these neighborhoods must have looked like in the early days.
These were beautiful homes and neighborhoods back in the day
Non-American here.
I'm guessing this was once the ''white picket fence'' type of neighbourhood we see in the movies?
Probably, Detroit used to be the center of America’s automotive industry.
Yea this is one of those neighborhoods. Most of the houses look really good minus the aging. Back when they were built these were the wealthier people of Detroit. Not necessarily the multimillionaires but the small bussiness owners, doctors, and lawyers. The city was screwed by everyone both its politicians and citizens.
Yup. Then the automotive industry left the town for cheaper areas and no industry took its place. At its prime over 1.6 million lived there I believe, now its not even 700k. If over a million people are fleeing your city you know its been abandoned by its politicians.
absolutely

Actually it went to shit when Democrats took office. It's been all down hill since, just like every other city they ruin. Chicago, St Louis, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, and Atlanta have all become sh💩t holes. You can actually see the stats of just how fast the transition happens too. First they tax the base to death forcing them to leave, then the businesses leave because of lack of customers and Crime. Then they let crime take over before complaining that they don't have the money to fix it. Los Angeles is basically the only exception, but that's mainly due to the fact the tax base is still there.
