@@Rav3r009: A whole lot more than THAT has happened to poor detroit ( no more capital “D” ).

Philly has classic row home ghettos with lots of shooting but it still looks like a functioning place. In otherwords some of those Philly ghettos are only blocks from higher income areas or even a University. Detroit on the other hand looks like something out of the Walking Dead. Basically if someone left you off in certain areas of Detroit you would spend a lonnnggg time trying to walk out of there.
Philly. Atleast in Detroit if you’re riding around in a truck you can drive through the various abandoned lots to get away…In Philly if shit pops off you’re not getting out of there lmao
The clips of Detroit showed mostly abandoned neighborhoods. The footage of Philadelphia had way more people in them. So to answer the question which is more terrifying is obviously all the people jammed into the tight spaces and bursting out everywhere.
Im in Philadelphia and sometimes fantasize about moving to Detroit so I can spread out a lil bit 😮 Like any kind of situation where people are stacked and stacked makes people naturally angry and volatile 😮🤷
@@prague7706 - No, our government would not allow it in Australia, we are a very rich country, but still some people choose to live on the streets, but not that many 🎄🤶
It is easier to maintain situational awareness when space is tighter. Detroit is more terrifying because you can't tell who is lurking in the hidden areas you can't see behind the houses.
Im from Philly but im gonna say Detroit...Philly has alotta street people, gansters, n maniacs but, Detroit has street people gangsters n maniacs AND it looks haunted...respectfully
Way more murders in Detroit than most places I'm ten minutes from Toledo Ohio where my dad and his family is from and Toledo was number 1 for murders for a while it bounces back and forth
Neither city is "terrifying." They are both disturbing and in the same way: the way that the carcass of a once proud beast is disturbing as it lay rotting. What is terrifying is the dying remains of the culture, the elements that did not depart along with prosperity. Philadelphia has the more active remnant of the civilization remaining, an in that respect it is probably more "terrifying" to be in Philadelphia than in Detroit.
@blackcherry6877 what? Totally untrue! The cleanest downtown, the best River Walk, entire neighborhoods rebuilt (Brush Park, Elton Park, Ford's Corktown Campus,) parks renovated citywide, new construction, rehabs, and not to mention the many neighborhoods too vibrant to make the cut here. Happy holidays from Detroit,the comeback city.
@@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback Chicago has the best downtown, river walk in the entire country, lets not forget Timesquare in New York.Try again... Your passion for Detriot is ok but its not reality.
Philly been to both. As a Tampa native I'm used to the large fields an abandoned houses (haunted swamp)like sulphur springs. Philly just has so much noise and people watching you it's uneasy. Detroit is mostly abandoned it feels more peaceful to me.
I lived an hour north of Detroit and the reason it's different is because Detroit has a huge huge I'm talking miles and miles of suburbs and neighborhoods. Philadelphia I don't think they have that auto working huge areas that all just houses, that obviously people have abandoned because all the other jobs left. Most of them. Philly you have them damn cramped row houses all attached and concrete everywhere. I wouldn't be going down through there at all. I'll cruise out through the empty neighborhoods in Detroit anytime and never feel threatened
Birmingham Alabama has a more quiet, peaceful vibe than either one of these places, yet, it much a much higher murder than Detroit or Philadelphia. Numbers don't lie, appearances are deceiving.
Man please, I know Birmingham is one of the high crime cities and the murder rate changes from year to year as far as who has the highest. But it's about the vibe of the city. Birmingham not worse than either of these. Philly is a very big city so you have to talk about the North side, Just like Chicago you have to talk about the south side. If you want to go strictly by numbers then Birmingham not even the worst in AL. Bessemer, and Anniston both have higher crime rates by the numbers percentage wise but I know they not worse than Birmingham because they too small, just like Birmingham not worse than Philly or Detroit. Anniston actuall had A higher crime rate than Chicago last year. Are you going to say Anniston is worse than Chicago ?
@@williemoore756 You try to negate my statement by saying that Birmingham is not the worst in Alabama and then compare to others towns in thats state which are too small to compare on that same statistical scale which is absurd. Yes, Birmingham has double the murder rate. It saw 144 murders in 2022 and it serves only 200,00 people.. That is a shit ton of murder for a city of that size. SHoudlve cited Memphis instead, it's much larger than Birmingham.
@@mededmoon6265 And how is what you said proving me wrong ? Ok then what scale are we using ? Is it large cities with at least 500K ? Because Detroit has about 700K and Philly has about 1.5 million. Birmingham has 200K if that many so it's a mid sized city.
@@williemoore756 Because Birmingham has at least as much murder as both of those combined. That's how your'e proved wrong. Yes, It's a very clinical way of assessing the level of danger in a city. Philly has beautiful, safe areas, and in abundance. Birmingham doesn't really have that. My argument is that "chill vibes" and a lack of observable activity on street corners does not mean it's more or less deadly, necessarily, which is what you implied about Birmingham. New Orleans has chill quiet vibes too, but, it is worse than all these cities we've mentioned.

Another great video compilation of Detroit. But what about a walking Detroit's downtown at night? You've done other cities, and the shock value would be tremendous!
I like this question cuz they both scary in they own way but it shows some people think city (loud environment with lots of people are more scary while others think the abandonedment and quietness is what's scary to them) kinda cool:)
Philly looks more dangerous because it shows in the people's faces and body language. 😢 They look like they are comfortable accepting life as is. Detroit looks like it's just abandoned and the people who are there are really trying to hang on for a miracle.
Exactly right. This dude is taking video in Detroit of way out in the neighborhoods that used to be full of thousands upon thousands of Auto Working Families. If you go closer downtown Detroit there's all kinds of great-looking streets and casinos and old Bricktown and Greektown and the whole area around the downtown with all of the professional sports teams. It's great downtown. But this guy is driving way out in the suburbs looking for abandoned homes. In philly, you got crazy motherfukers right there in the city streets right near the city.
@@billyidol2115 You gotta realize also that Philly is also a very large city. We're the second largest east coast city after NYC. Most of the videos he shows of Philly is always the roughest drug homeless area of Kensington. Also he always only show NP. He barely ventured off into other lively more upscale areas of the city. But I guess he purposely shows the worst areas for the dramatization for viewers. There's also nice upscale areas directly in NP you wouldn't believe. Lol
I'd have to say Detroit based on that I am seeing here. I visit Philly, because I have family there and it's a short drive. I am also used to it, and I know where not to go. But there is activity in Philly. You can see people. If something was happening to you in Detroit, especially in the area around 2min 30sec, no one is going to see or hear you if you need help. You can't convince me that some of those big abandoned homes are tombs.... 🙁
A detail that people not from the Detroit area might miss are all the houses with brick fronts and raw wood planks on the side. The bricks from the side were stolen. That's right. The BRICKS WERE STOLEN. I remember reading news stories from 20 years ago in which people were living in houses and had their bricks stolen while they slept. Obviously, most of the houses we see here are abandoned.
sounds fake. How are you gonna steal bricks out the side of a house? You're gonna come through with a hammer drill and start chiseling away in the middle of the night? You don't think that'd wake anyone up?
If there’s anyone from Detroit who can tell me why the city couldn’t recover from the 1967 riots and did houses start getting mass abandoned before or only after the 2008 recession?
He picked the grittiest part of North Philthy, Kensington of all places, the dirtiest place on earth. Make sure you got your tool just in case you gotta keep a fck boy away and at bay, they're sneaky asf. I walk with that thing religiously like it's a bible out this btch.
Interesting question. Detroit is scary because abandoned places are unsettling to our lizard brains, but Philadelphia looks equally hopeless in a different way. I wouldn’t know which evil to choose tbh
There is some gentrificaton going on in Philly where those people living in row house areas are being replaced or displaced as some would say. The Graduate hospital area is a good example as well as areas near some of the universities. But it's a very slow process because many Philly politicians stand in the way. Detroit not only looks rundown but also abandoned. Even the poor don't want to live in the areas shown in this video. Surprisingly the poor areas in Philly are loaded with people. Some look like they are having fun. Detroit poverty rate = 33%, Philadelphia poverty rate = 23% .... others Baltimore 23%, Atlanta 19%, Miami 17%, Pittsburgh 19%, Cleveland 30% ....
I have been to 43 of the 50 states in this country. I been to every major black city, I have been to extremely poor towns and extremely rich towns. One thing I never see is white folks hanging outside AT ALL unless they having a function or doing yard word YET 24/7/365 us (not me or my family because we all work) black folks are always outside WHY is that?
you never seen white folks outside during a non function? florida, louisiana, or alabama.. all very frequently.. Also, i have 😢seen white heroin addicts standing outside in baltimore all the time. Multiples, and in lines..
I watch videos of the lousy parts of Detroit. Then videos of the better neighborhoods in Detroit. It is just a matter of which parts of the city one chooses. Watching a video of the Packard plant is telling. Some of the vast factory have been torn down by the government. Other parts of the complex have been cleaned up, for possible renovation. Other parts are privately owned. But left in shambles by certain tax payers. Very odd. There is not much you can do, with property owners who choose to pay taxes, on buildings, but yet are trashed.
I've been a truck driver for 30+years I've been to Chicago,Los Angeles,Pilly,Pittsburgh,Atlanta,all of them and Detroit has my vote dirtiest and scarest city I've ever been in!!
@iz7979 I have been to east Baltimore where the ships come in had to go through western part first been to Boston all up there in the east,does not come close to Detroit..
Philly like Harrisburg is the kinda place groups of people set out lawn chairs in the middle of the sidewalk and they just hang out drinkin and watching the streets all day. Detroit seem more like what I'm used to people stay on the porch or watch from they houses. Definitely less scary that way
Neither one can compete with Skid Row in Los Angeles! I know that is just a very small section, but I ain't ever been so scared as when I drove through Skid Row. I heard that drug dealers do their business and people get assaulted right in front of the police station.
Driving in those tight streets in Philly with all those people hanging out anything could happen to be honest i was scared for you driving there anything bad could have happened in a split second
Never been to Philly but Detroit is not scary if you mind your own business. Its really that simple, even though I understand how it might look scary to someone that never witnessed this level of urban decay.
@@Noahjames27that’s not true. In most city even in the hood. Nobody will bother u unless u bother them. Also if that’s the case in Tampa then the dudes soft there. Who df mess with a nerdy dude🤦🏽♀️ u jus made ur city look soft by saying that
Don’t let these vids scare y’all. Detroit has its nice parts just like every other city. It’s just more fucked up parts than nice parts🤣 but downtown, outer Drive, Boston Edison and a few more spots I can’t remember right now
I been to both places. People think I’m trolling when I say Detroit looks suburban. I’m use to seeing corner stores, gas stations, train stations and buses on every block. Detroit isn’t a walkable city
@@WillieD804now u trolling cuz Philly doesn’t look nun like the suburbs. It’s fast and active compared to Detroit…… Detroit isn’t even a walkable city everything spread out
@@WillieD804 u a troll. I’m not gonna say nun else to u. Lol In Detroit u need a car to get around and it’s spread out. You can’t even walk to the store from the houses cuz it’s spread apart. Philly has people outside 24/7 and it’s a walkable city with bus stops, train stations and corner stores on every block. Detroit is country compared to Philly. Yes Detroit is rough but it’s still country looking. Even my Detroit friends that been to Philly saw how different it looks cuz you can walk everywhere in Philly without a car

@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback tell me what roads to drive on to see a positive side of Detroit besides Woodward in downtown.

Livernois and 7 mile; west Warren, east Warren; east Jefferson totally rebuilt; Michigan Ave in Corktown, Tiger stadium area rebuilt, Michigan Central restored; west vernor; Grand River/Southfield and west, Conant. You noticed Woodward because it's the most advanced in the rebuilding, all the way to...Highland park. There's more but the lions are on!
Detroit got so much more potential, and I Iike how everything is spaced out , Philly definitely look more crazy, I still remember seeing this video of this dude from Philly that just walked up and shot a female at point blank range, one of the craziest things I ever seen
I was a truck driver for 28 years, 47 states. I got to see the good, the bad, the really bad, and the holy shit WTF happened. Greatest country on earth My Ass. wave the flag and sing the song IDIOTS.
Despite the abandonment I prefer Detroit. Less people, more space, room to breathe. That part of Philadelphia is overcrowded and suffocating. However, I’m probably quite naive when it comes down to it and I’m not afraid to admit I wouldn’t last two minutes in either place, especially if some guy walked like that in front of my car. My mouth would get me in trouble lol 😂
Philly looks more active and Detroit just looks like it survived a nuclear attack.

I have been to 43 of the 50 states in this country. I been to every major black city, I have been to extremely poor towns and extremely rich towns. One thing I never see is white folks hanging outside AT ALL unless they having a function or doing yard word YET 24/7/365 us (not me or my family because we all work) black folks are always outside WHY is that?
you never seen white folks outside during a non function? florida, louisiana, or alabama.. all very frequently.. Also, i have 😢seen white heroin addicts standing outside in baltimore all the time. Multiples, and in lines..
I'm black and I agree with you. It's part of the "Street Life" ...... running the streets all day wasting valuable time 😢
No education. No parents No culture . That's the fackz jack .. SAD STUFF.
Selling drugs most of them are in the streets and stand outside allday to make money
Also if u go to Kensington Philly, it’s a whole block there with thousands of addicts strung out & sleeping outside. Most of them are white
I watch videos of the lousy parts of Detroit. Then videos of the better neighborhoods in Detroit. It is just a matter of which parts of the city one chooses. Watching a video of the Packard plant is telling. Some of the vast factory have been torn down by the government. Other parts of the complex have been cleaned up, for possible renovation. Other parts are privately owned. But left in shambles by certain tax payers. Very odd. There is not much you can do, with property owners who choose to pay taxes, on buildings, but yet are trashed.
You can show the worst sections of any city and draw conclusions. Detroit has actually improved in many ways but gets no credit for that.
It's amazing that about every tenth house actually looks like it has people living in it. One wonders why they haven't moved by now.
Well, Detroit is going better and better any month. Don't know when you filmed it, but...
Thanks for noticing!
I've been a truck driver for 30+years I've been to Chicago,Los Angeles,Pilly,Pittsburgh,Atlanta,all of them and Detroit has my vote dirtiest and scarest city I've ever been in!!
Detroit is not the dirtiest city LOL
@24kminds I'm sorry I'm just going by the big city's I've been in and yes Detroit is at the top..
So you never been to west Baltimore?
@@jeffpeltier6964 You clearly haven't been to a lot of so called big cities.
@iz7979 I have been to east Baltimore where the ships come in had to go through western part first been to Boston all up there in the east,does not come close to Detroit..
How can you renovate one such house and live in it?
Why is this city abandoned?
It should be west Baltimore vs north Philly
@313 Detroit, mi once named 'murder capital of the world' now on pace for the lowest homicide rate in nearly 60 years..
Whoa! Truth! for that!
Philly like Harrisburg is the kinda place groups of people set out lawn chairs in the middle of the sidewalk and they just hang out drinkin and watching the streets all day. Detroit seem more like what I'm used to people stay on the porch or watch from they houses. Definitely less scary that way
Neither one can compete with Skid Row in Los Angeles! I know that is just a very small section, but I ain't ever been so scared as when I drove through Skid Row. I heard that drug dealers do their business and people get assaulted right in front of the police station.
Kensington is way scarier than skid row.
Driving in those tight streets in Philly with all those people hanging out anything could happen to be honest i was scared for you driving there anything bad could have happened in a split second
Philadelphia looks so claustrophobic.
Terrifying?
Never been to Philly but Detroit is not scary if you mind your own business. Its really that simple, even though I understand how it might look scary to someone that never witnessed this level of urban decay.
I mean if your a nerdy looking guy or smaller statured u probably will still get tried (idk not from Detroit but that's how it's like in Tampa)
Detroit fucked up
@@Noahjames27that’s not true. In most city even in the hood. Nobody will bother u unless u bother them. Also if that’s the case in Tampa then the dudes soft there. Who df mess with a nerdy dude🤦🏽♀️ u jus made ur city look soft by saying that
@@kayyjohnson8325 Don't believe it, this is how gangsters try to rationalize the fact that they are terrorizing society as a way of life.
@@kayyjohnson8325Exactly ! 💯
Detroit looks worse now, but looks like it was once nice. Philly looks just like it's always been a crowded, dirty depressing northeastern city.
True, Detroit was the Paris of the Midwest at one point.
I wouldn't want to live in either.
@0:33 Just curious what does one pay for rent on those lovely houses?
Philly section 8. Welfare pays 80% figure $ 1100 for a 4 bedroom
Civilization has not looked here?
That sound of your camera sounds like you slappin in a new full mag into your .45 😂
You can dip in between yards if the boogey man is after you in Detroit. In Philly, there's no where to dip & no where to hide...
Don’t let these vids scare y’all. Detroit has its nice parts just like every other city. It’s just more fucked up parts than nice parts🤣 but downtown, outer Drive, Boston Edison and a few more spots I can’t remember right now
Too many to remember! Many neighborhoods, the riverfront, etc
You can keep em both B. Id rather live in a remote dry duck plucking cabin in Alaska before I live in Detroit or Philadelphia!
2 of my favorite cities …Philly and Detroit are like cousins 😎 two good sports cities
Both rough, Philly is very urban, Detroit is more suburban.
I been to both places. People think I’m trolling when I say Detroit looks suburban. I’m use to seeing corner stores, gas stations, train stations and buses on every block. Detroit isn’t a walkable city
Both look like suburbs too med
@@WillieD804now u trolling cuz Philly doesn’t look nun like the suburbs. It’s fast and active compared to Detroit…… Detroit isn’t even a walkable city everything spread out
@@kayyjohnson8325 Philadelphia definitely looks like the suburbs I leve Dere y'all do not look like Detroit way worst
@@WillieD804 u a troll. I’m not gonna say nun else to u. Lol In Detroit u need a car to get around and it’s spread out. You can’t even walk to the store from the houses cuz it’s spread apart. Philly has people outside 24/7 and it’s a walkable city with bus stops, train stations and corner stores on every block. Detroit is country compared to Philly. Yes Detroit is rough but it’s still country looking. Even my Detroit friends that been to Philly saw how different it looks cuz you can walk everywhere in Philly without a car
Thank Allah (SWT) I moved out of Philly years ago.
This is approximately what Bakhmut-Artyomovsk looks like in Ukraine, only there is war there, and you don’t have it)))
Baden benefits from the war, because he clearly does not intend to live in Detroit
Какая-нибудь Воркута тоже выглядит как зона боевых действий, и что? И кстати ты палишься своими скобками.
@@toniplatinum ты сам то был в Воркуте ? Географически хоть знаешь где она ? И чем это я спаслился ? Американцы , которые прочли и поняли , а вот либо хохол либо либераст мне отписал ))))
I been to Philly a few times and Detroit. Philly looks way worst and it’s more fast paced…. Also ya obviously never been to Detroit. They only show the abandoned houses. You will be surprise that Detroit has a lot of decent looking homes.
Philly soft Detroit gotta watch your back
@@WillieD804I’m not gonna pay u no attention cuz u obviously trolling. Detroit look country and suburban. Also Philly has way more k!llings than Detroit.
Lol u never been to our detriot either..and Philly got nice house like detriot..luckily Philly worst now then the d ..cause they ran out of people to kill..n I hope it stay that way
@@kayyjohnson8325stop at Detroit is way worse than Philadelphia are you dumb? Philadelphia is a functioning City you just looking at the ghetto part outside of North Philly it is way more functioning Richard in thriving more than Detroit. 80% of Detroit looks like a haunted apocalypse
I see in Detroit they're still removing bricks from those nice big Homes. Saving a little cash I Guess lol
All I see is prime real estate and opportunities here, and it's so sad that the "give-me" crowd doesn't take advantage of what's right in their community.
You’re better off taking your chances living in your CAR than trying to survive in those philadelphia ( no more capital “P” ) neighborhoods!!! Nope! Fat Albert, Bill “Roofie” Cosby, Rudy Davis, etc. wouldn’t even KNOW those old neighborhoods today!!!
In those hopeless old “snake-pits”, just about the only way to do a service to the community is to “OFF” yourself!!!
Оба ой как хороши, загляденье просто, сок Земли!
Слава Америке, хэндэ хох!
Ты главное не смотри как города в твоей стране выглядят.
По ходу стоило спросить, как эту парашу теперь развидеть, чтобы одна защищала в комментах свой рот не раскрывала.
Was a decent town 75 years ago !
Even Detroit old heads say there's nothing else in America like Kensington, Philly.....
Kensington isn’t even the hood, it’s just a block with addicts.
It's about 6 - 8 blocks, once the relevant side streets are considered. There are more relevant areas beyond just McPherson Square.
@marcusleja7133 you clearly don't know what you're talking about and watch too much TH-cam It's one block dummy I'm from here its not 6-8 blocks
Definitely Philadelphia. But as far as sketchy areas between the two not mention is Flint MI. Thats a scary place at night. And is way more sketchy than Philly. In Detroit if you avoid gas stations and coney islands. At night you good.
Who actually owns those abandoned houses in Detroit pretty scary looking place
I wonder if these cities share a common demographic ...lol.
We are NOT supposed to talk about it. It is a taboo.
Maybe?? But so does a Trailer Park!,🤷🏽♀️
Both
Well...thats not the side of Philly they show on "IASIP" 😮😮😮😮
the city/state/country should allow you to rebuild a house ( to a list of standards ) its yours now you own the property just pay tax
como compreender os bilhoes que gastam em guerras para destruicao de lares, e os conteudos nos mostra o abandono insano do financiador.
Both are scary, but Detroit is scary, sad, and depressing.
You should see the parts of the city where people actually live!
@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback tell me what roads to drive on to see a positive side of Detroit besides Woodward in downtown. I was just in Detroit last week in the Boston Edison area, and it looked terrible and sad. Also, Highland Park looks like a nuclear war - for the past 30 years. When is that city going to get better?
@@AnnMitt don't know about highland Park but Detroit is on the right track. It is a huge city and features all landscapes. There's actually many positive videos about Detroit, but they aren't "interesting " enough for popular clicking!
@@FrankaiVideos-DetroitsComeback noticed you didn't give any road names to drive on to see these fabulous neighborhoods
@@AnnMitt Kercheval has been rebuilt and there are many pockets of viable areas. Livernois and 7 mile; west Warren, east Warren; east Jefferson totally rebuilt; Michigan Ave in Corktown, Tiger stadium area rebuilt, Michigan Central restored; west vernor; Grand River/Southfield and west, Conant. You noticed Woodward because it's the most advanced in the rebuilding, all the way to...Highland park. There's more but the lions are on!
I would shit my pants the second i got to either city because its so scary
Detroit got so much more potential, and I Iike how everything is spaced out , Philly definitely look more crazy, I still remember seeing this video of this dude from Philly that just walked up and shot a female at point blank range, one of the craziest things I ever seen
Detroit looks like Poland after the nazis rolled thru it, Philly looks like the Warsaw Ghetto after the uprising...
Some main cities of a country which wants to rule the world.
I was a truck driver for 28 years, 47 states. I got to see the good, the bad, the really bad, and the holy shit WTF happened. Greatest country on earth My Ass. wave the flag and sing the song IDIOTS.
I anticipated Detroit and didn´t get dissapointed.
Detroit FTW !
I have no reason to ever visit either one
Definitely Detroit
7:37 "Philly rising" graffiti.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It's always worse in Detroit.
Just put a lot of ppl in Detroit and it’s the same… both look like something out of a nightmare
There are a lot of people here
@@Rav3r009 I believe it… mostly come out at night?
@@Mmmmgood317 nah just on the major roads like 6,7,8 mile. You can catch some crazy shit goin on the miles at any time😭
Despite the abandonment I prefer Detroit. Less people, more space, room to breathe. That part of Philadelphia is overcrowded and suffocating. However, I’m probably quite naive when it comes down to it and I’m not afraid to admit I wouldn’t last two minutes in either place, especially if some guy walked like that in front of my car. My mouth would get me in trouble lol 😂
Vids like this make me work harder at work so i dont end up like this
