Yes. Just go out and buy a $350,000 house. On your $20 per hour job. Good luck.
@freedomoffgrid I did that when I was 16 for gas money
Dude there is half million dollar houses where my elementary was in Ferndale and raises the taxes on all the retirees😅
Only if your a moron.. own over 150 homes in michigan max i paid for all 3 bedroom basement garage is 15k and im a landscaper< called tax sale short sales etc my 3 bedroom home basement and garage own both houses on either side of me 2 use 1 as office 1 as biz location all 3 yards fenced together so have 3/4 acre yard and paid 45k for all 3 houses total called use your brain
Yes, Just go out and work two jobs, get some training so you can do something othet than low skilled minimum wage work and then bust your butt for 10-15 years amd saue up for a down payment like I did.
@@Bmstr-yn9wk or do everything right to the book and school.. then get overworked and underappreciated. You make more on overtime why complain? Cuz overtime is when the schedule is NOT satisfied. And the 1 job become 1.5-3 times. We didn't goto school for that. Or Corona liars with liar descrimination tactics against the healthy. Real people are done contributing labor of skill to maintain the world for the privilidged and self centered materialist insurance needing weak.
I promise you, people aren't leaving those places because of too many 1950's cookie cutter ranch style houses. It's bad policy, taxes, and people in general are wanting out of the cities. We're among them.
Left out huge rise in violent crimes, drugs, thefts, break ins and huge amounts of crooked cops
Don’t bring your liberal agenda and ideology to the country areas of Michigan because you will be made to leave
Yes ,BAD POLICY .... Because, IT IS What POLITICIANS Give , ALL POLITICIANS, THEY Are ONLY Here to HAMPER,Not HELP .. .BOTH PARTIES
No one is leaving….as a matter of fact we are running out of housing to hold everyone. I live here….you don’t. The policy is good, the taxes are fine, the people love Michigan, the crime is low, college is partly free and immigrants aren’t taking over….isn’t that the right wing narrative? It’s horse💩.
Yes ran by democrats correct
Detroit is a tale of two cities: Downtown Detroit which is being gentrified and Greater Detroit which is being gutted.
Pharrell tell him about the manufactured factories that look like manufactured houses for future concentration camps. Turning out the neighborhood's criminals
It will be interesting to see what happens to Detroit once the Gordie Howe International Bridge opens next year.
I was born and raised near Detroit and moved to Florida. This is happening everywhere
Not gentrified they only let a few blacks in, just to say we have blacks
So good things are happening in downtown Detroit? Maybe it will spread to greater Detroit.
Come on. Everyone that lives in the Detroit suburbs knows why people are leaving. It's either because non Americans have taken over the city, crime has taken over the city and/or the politics is corrupt. Not that hard to figure out.
Yes, and it’s not just Michigan. I’m over here in Utah, the Californians are literally pouring in for the same reasons. Seems to be all the blue states/ cities are corrupted and people have said “enough I’m outta here”.
i can tell u don't live there 😂
Detroit is experiencing an influx....ur thoughts on why?😂
100%
Oh, I live in Michigan (up state) and let's not forget ethnics. Dearborn now belongs to the Arabs and Detroit is almost all black.
I am surprised that Flint was not on this list due to that city’s serious socioeconomic problems and its water crisis.
Agree
True, but Flint is outside the Detroit metro area, it's about 100 miles away. Even Ann Arbor is a stretch, it's about 40 miles away from Detroit.
Flint already lost it's population, long ago
Flintonians left a long time ago, in the same time frame us Detroiters left.
Flint Michigan is not the same city is was 10 years ago. Flint Michigan is improving. Things are starting to turn around. Last summer the city of Flint was rebirth. It's not the same city.
The property taxes in the metro Detroit area is a deal breaker.
Yep, property taxes go up every year, and not just in Detroit, but the entire area. It seems every millage, bond issue, pick your flavor of ballot initiatives, they always pass. It reminds me of a letter to the editor in the Austin Statesman, out there in Texas. A nice liberal gal wrote a letter to the editor complaining that she could no longer afford her little bungalow that she had lived in for many many years, as the she could no longer afford to pay the property taxes. She then went on to explain how she voted yes to every little want or need on the ballot to keep Austin beautiful... She never got it, she voted herself out of her own property. Women should have never been given the right to vote. This same phenomenon is happening all across Michigan, and the rigged elections are not helping matters either. The government here is extremely corrupt.
@@michaelwright1602wow. What a comment! It’s everyone’s fault but the men (or people 🙄) lying to everyone. What a brain you got there… Thanks for the input.
It's the reason why I left in 2012. Many in the nicer areas were forced to pay increased taxes to cover the areas that either couldn't or wouldn't pay theirs. At the same time the school system, garbage pickup, police an fire were all lessened. I don't want to pay more for less... so I left.
@@wendybmore That was the Founding Fathers, their rules. Also being a property owner, like having skin in the game. Take it up with them.
@@michaelwright1602Why is this comment section one of the best educated comment sections on politics that I have ever seen lol solid takes
There is little construction in cities like Farmington Hills, MI because there is very little land available to build on. As for population declines in most of these cities it is because of smaller families and an aging population. People have raised their families and the kids have grown up and moved out. You are not going to find empty dilapidated housing in cities 2 - 10. The houses put up for sale are selling quickly in these cities even Detroit.
Yes, that's the real story -- what you described. Leaving for college or heaven. It's not like they're crummy towns that people hate.
😂😂😂 total bs, i live in michigan and am always in these areas and surrounding doing dd. Yall need to leave your bubbles n get back to reality 😂😂
Shouldn’t Highland Park be the number one disliked city in Michigan? It’s the Detroit within Detroit!
Can't mention Highland Park because basically only one race lives there and bringing them up is a no-no. He couldn't say why people are leaving Detroit. But we know why.
I worked on an apartment complex in highland park and had crack heads following me everywhere then when I stopped at the gas station I watched someone pull a pistol out and walk back in cuz he didn’t got the correct change I didn’t hang around too much longer after that lol
It was a Polish town but fled when invaded like Dearborn.
@@JNoMooreNumbers I think you’re describing Hamtramck
Stop the cap people are moving from Dearborn cause of the crime rate it’s horrible literally
Not true.
And because of the Islamic influence there.
Dearborn Heights turned into Dearborn. Everything closed at COVID and got bought up by Arabs and its no longer diverse
Thanks for telling the truth.
Its the next Detroit, imo.
Oh boy. They were on the news for some firework issues on July 4th.
Smh.
News said 200 or more calls about it. Wow
As an electrician in the Ann Arbor area, I can tell you I'd rather have a house from the 1950s in a Detroit suburb than an overpriced house from the 1850s in Ann Arbor
100%
I hate SE Michigan Personally. Only there out of necessity. Born in Detroit, grew up in St Clair Shores. It's so much just strip malls and concrete, people drive insane, construction everywhere. I like going to a few spots occasionally like the Detroit Museum of Art, some fancy restaurants occasionally but thats not enough to make me love it. The "city life" that people say they like is so often just access to more bars to get drunk at and mediocre restaurants with their version of the same bar food. I own a place up north that I brought dirt cheap in 2016 thats bigger/nicer than my Detroit area home and that will eventually be my forever home.
I was born in Detroit, grew up in Detroit and fled as soon as I could.
Right on bro. My buddy sold his Franklin home and moved to Charlevoix. He’s happy as a clam
@@Macattack11639 love Charlevoix. I'm there often
Yea you've never lived in a real city if that's all you think they are. People like you don't live in Detroit and don't understand that there is more variety and community here than anywhere else on this list. It's also called the Detroit Institute of Art, and is considered one of the top art collections in the world. Literally take a bike ride from midtown to downtown and out across the river walk and you'd know one reason ppl like it here, we have things here that other places like warren etc never will.
@Throawei @Throawei I've lived in Detroit proper (not the suburbs) and NYC. Just didn't appeal to me. But just speaking from experience and having friends that rave about Detroit, I just don't see the appeal. And yes the DIA pardon my mistake, been going there since the 80s. It's the world's greatest collection imo. Thank Sam Wagstaff's work back in the day for much of that. I've been to 34 countries and many museums and the DIA is a cut above...but still not enough to make me want to live in Detroit. I was talking SE Michigan across the board, but Warren is a shithole. I'd take Detroit over Warren any day. Truly though I'm just not a city person in general. SE Michigan doesn't appeal to me for the same reasons NYC and the Tri State area didn't appeal to me. Give me peace, quiet, nature. The concrete and grind of cities and Metro areas just isn't for me.
Born and raised in Detroit, left in 2007. You couldn't pay me to move back. I never thought that I'd say that, but its true.
That's too bad.
You must love crime!@@larrybee7713
Same...FACTS!!!
@@larrybee7713 I have no regrets about living in Detroit or leaving it. 😎
I understand. Everyone has got to do what they have to do. I live outside of Detroit, but work in the legal field and have helped hundreds of people in the inner city have a second chance at life so even if I left for awhile, I'd be back because Detroit is where my heart is. Motown and music you can't get better than that. Well perhaps, but you know what I mean.
As someone who just moved out of a Detroit suburb to a rural city an hour north I can 1000% assure you people aren’t leaving because of the home prices. its the politics and the people that live in those city’s that are driving everyone away.
This is the WORST time to purchase a home in any location. Wait a year or so, then check the prices.
Absolutely we get Trump back and things are going to change
@tedlewis309 I sure as hell hope so. But the country is so far over the cliff that it will take a miracle. The problem is that there are multitudes of evil pieces of 💩 on both sides. And the majority of them are back stabbers that have sold their souls to the dark side.
Yep, Trump will get the interest rates down !
@radiantmessenger3369 I hope you are right, but I will believe it when I see it. Things are so far over the cliff that it will take a miracle to turn this ship back around.
What warren whites don't like ea other
All the people leaving Ann Arbor are coming to our small town of Chelsea. It is becoming too crowded..and too Ann Arborish
Bringing the problems they fled from
Those liberal colleges piled in
People ruin any smaller town,Too many people, Now.
lol! We left Ann Arbor in 2006 😂 it’s way too expensive!
@@Elijah-bj8pv did you move to Chelsea? Lol
I remember Dearborn didn't want any Blacks.
Sorry, however they don't want whites there either now.
Mayor Orville Hubbard kept it segregated as long as he was in office over 30 years. Also, this was by direction of Henry Ford, who practically owned the city in his time.
Now it is all arab
@@dawnmiller6899 more accurately, it's Muslim.
There are many African-Americans in Dearborn now. I grew up there and still live there. It is quite different, thank goodness.
There’s just one problem with saying everyone is leaving. Detroits population is actually growing! It’s been in the news lately.
Yes deteoit is repopulating with newcomers
@@debrapavlica6772 , our area Lafayette Park has definitely increased in the last 5 years, lots of new construction and restoration.
Right! The people who are leaving are being replaced with people who want to be here and the cities are flourishing in many cases or are preparing to restructure. Some people are moving away because they want tradition verses embracing diversity.
@@ameengoff2027couldn’t be said better 🎯
Yes...the population is growing because of illegal immigration. Why do you think people are leaving?
Left the area and Traverse City has been home for years.
Thats around where i want to be, or near manitou islands. Seems crime shys away from dogmen and ghosts
Funny fact I heard is that is TC has the highest cocaine use
I love Traverse City. We visited every summer when I was growing up.
TC is getting dirty and it's so woke, story times, Palestinian Flags, a destination of traffickers, it's not what it once was...
Working a route there early mornings I have to tell the bums to get away from my car, soon to be the next Seattle. Filling up with 400 square foot steel box cheap condos for 200K+ A million bars, breweries, distillery's and restaurants, most are crappy and the sidewalks reek of pot and patchouli. The Boardman makes the bay unswimmable many times a summer, due to sewage, Parking's awful and it's pretty much an overpriced waterhole. Still pretty country, though we call it suburbia. Stoned Drunk Fudge heaven.
@@blauer2551true. And fentanyl. My husband was a firefighter/EMT there and it was so dangerous. It’s why I left. And people are beyond rude there.
I left Metro Detroit in 2003 and would never move back there. Its become WAY too crowded since I lived there, all the nice open land in the areas above 21 mile are jam packed now, and the roads didnt change so traffic is absurd.
I noticed that many, if not most of the cities on your list, the percentage of non-whites increased by 3, 4 and 5 times from 2000 to 2020, while the percentage of whites in many, if not most of those same cities decreased between 10% and 33% during that same time period.
For example: Warren went from 90% white and 2% black in 2000 to 61% white and 20% black in 2020.... Sterling Heights went from 89% white and 1% black in 2000 to 79% white and 7% black in 2020.... Farmington Hills went from 81% white and 7% black in 2000 to 59% white and 18% black in 2020.
Seems whenever minorities start to move in, the whites start to move out.
Who wants to stay in an area where crime is rampant with certain ethnicities? 🤷🏻♂️ White flight is survival & civilized behavior. Stay in black communities, be prepared to lose everything including your car.
So which side is the culture vulture
That explains why Brighton and Howell are building new homes and experiencing growth, white flight is still occurring. I went to the Meijer in Brighton last fall and saw one non-white person in the whole store and they worked there.
It's always been that way
@@user-sl7ug1ee6x I know he forgot about the 80s and then the 90s and then 2000 what are residents paid taxes and didn't know that their children were being cheated by a population of immigrants given Section 8. The population of the school is different than the actual neighborhood population the parents don't see it. When I say all the neighborhood is fine what are you talking about your school is fine because the neighborhood is fine before they moved in
I was raised in Roseville till my sister and brother graduated from high school I was in 5th grade when my parents built a new home in a the suburbs of Sterling Heights 3rd house to be built in that sub 1972 at age 18 I moved to Shelby Township at 32 I moved back to Sterling Heights area 23 years later I built a home in the Allenton MI area total peace and tranquility living in the woods lots of wildlife and built my own shooting range in my backyard 😊I have chickens and a awesome greenhouse for vegetables all year round and a couple cows and pigs for meat to keep my freezer full a couple dogs to protect the property from predators, I sell my handmade projects at the local flea markets and I can take a ride on my quad or golf cart anytime I want to on the roads in my area, up to the local gas station or the local grocery store, had a sheriff ask me one time where’s my helmet while on my quad, then he said “ don’t tell me let me guess you’re on your way to the neighbors house to borrow sugar” 🤣🤣🤣I told he was right and he said “ I hope you’re making apple pie” I said I was and if he showed up at the gas station the next day at the same time he would get a slice, he did show up and got his apple pie slice 😊I have apple, pear, peach and cherry trees and I don’t hear traffic and don’t see nighttime city lights. I see the sky filled with stars and have a beautiful light show from the fireflies 😊 I could never have all this in the city! Plus if I want to go fishing I just go to my neighbors 4 acre pond, that is stocked with fish I give him fresh eggs it’s a great trading system 😊
😂😂😂😂
good for you new jack. good for you
Awesome
Same here! Moved out of Wayne county moved up north 4 years ago! Have chickens,fresh eggs meat! Plenty of land to roam! People are quiet, peaceful!
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 shut UP!!!! LAND BACK!
People from outside the area won't realize that you've generally just listed most of the largest suburbs of Detroit, ones aboout 36 square miles in size and large populations. If there is any trend at all (you cite "leaving" stats with no mention of "arriving" stats), suburbs like Warren, Sterling Heights, Livonia, and Farmington Hills would always be in the top 10. So would Detroit, at 139 sq. mi. and a population of roughly 700,000 people, Places with a population of about 150,000 -200,000 can't properly be declared "abandoned" if 1,500 move. That could be just boomers moving to warmer climes after retiring.
True. "Abandons" is just a catchy title for the content. None of them are abandoned but they have the most people moving away. I could have gotten into all of the details more but then no one will watch the videos. It's a struggle.
@@PaulWolfert Your video generally was well done. Whether or not a suburb is a great place to live is a subjective assessment. Everybody who posts videos seems to think some level of sensationalism must be tucked into the title or nobody will click on it. Everybody can't be wrong.
I guess you need to update this video because, According to the estimate, Detroit gained 1,852 residents
between July 1, 2022 and July 1, 2023, marking the first time since 1957 Detroit has not lost population
in the eyes of the Census Bureau.
Thanks, and yes! This was done just b4 it was announced, it seems.
I read that, too.
Probably illegals are being bussed in and we taxpayers will pay for their new settlement.
I live in Michigan. Born and raised. I wouldn’t buy a house and live in any of the places you mentioned🤮. Go north young man🎤🎼😊
Some people (myself included) don't really like Northern Michigan - I'd rather be close to a city/life than wilderness 😄
@@PaulWolfert Some people are too scared to go south of Shelby township cause it's "too close" to Detroit lol.
same born and raised, I would buy but not for these crazy ass prices they want nowadays. buying a property for 300k that sumone else got for 60k just 8-10 years ago doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
It's much whiter!
I live in the suburbs. Im perfectly happy. I’m not an hour away from a hospital. I don’t have to shovel ridiculous amounts of snow. There are things to do and places to go. I’m sure you’d be whining if everyone suddenly moved up there. Maybe you’re just anti social and enjoy being alone. I’m not and I’m fine where I’m at 😎
Born and raised in the Detroit Metro area. Left in 1987 and never returned. Many cities (Warren, Roseville, East Pointe, etc...) and communities started in the mid to late 1950's when the auto job industry took off and created a housing boom. Most of those homes that still exist were built quickly and to get new couples into a starter home. After the riots in 1967 and the subsequent automotive industry tanking as well as the companies that left Detroit never to return....well, you know what ended up happening.
We moved from Westland in 2018 and moved outside of Flint. Night and day. People are grumpy the closer they get to Detroit. Traffic makes me insane. Love country life.
The Medical Mile in Grand Rapids keeps the economy pretty stable there.
Inkster is a horrible city
That's "Jr Detroit"
Yup
They call it.
Little vietnam.
I grew up in Inkster and I loved it. Graduated high school in 1974. At that time it was a great place to grow up. Not anymore. Sadly.
Makes Ypsilanti look like Ann Arbor 😂
I recently returned home to Michigan after living in Montana for 20 years. The first thing I noticed is, that people regard the Speed Limit signs as the Starting Speed, not the LIMIT. Second, in Montana, practically everyone wore a sidearm, mainly in case you collided with wildlife and had to put the animal out of its misery. I originally moved in with my sister and she was adamantly opposed to any firearms in the house or my wearing a sidearm in public. Then I noticed, that not a day would go by where someone was a victim of gun violence. I am happy to report I will be moving away from the Detroit Metro area, to a Rural Small Town. I returned because I need better Healthcare otherwise I wouldn't have returned to Michigan. I've got horror stories I could tell about incidents since I moved back. To all those thinking of moving to Michigan, I suggest anywhere above the Thumb area.
Farmington Hills = HOA heaven and no fencing
Yep!!
Parents built a home in sub division....yeah....been sold and left
And Mark lives there. You don't want to know Mark.
I don’t want some HOA telling me what I can do with the house I own.
leaving? They're dying. Those are houses where old people died and now they're for sale. And Ann Arbor is terribly expensive. Detroit has been dropping population since the 1960's
Was that reganomics ? Why yes I believe it was ....Soo very sad he was not a friend of the American working class ............ remember your vote matters !
Detroit sees population growth for first time since 1957 - CBS News article
@@peggypasson8794Yes, a vote does indeed matter. How's the 60 yr strangle hold on Democrat run cities been working out? Mmm Hmm that's right. Deny deny deny 🤣🤣
Detroit is actually gaining population
@@d.r.7396 I'm not surprised anymore at liberals defending Democrats policies for the sake of the Party 😅 It's as if democrat voters have to check in with their party hq before they opine. Democrats could be openly killing babies & democrat voters would defend that for the sake of following the party line. The Nazis openly practiced that 🤣 Oh wait, they ARE actually killing babies with their abortion stance 🤷🏻♂️
We retired from the Metro area to a very small town in Upper Mid-Michigan. We've never looked back.
How are the hospitals near you? My husband had a widow maker and I was so happy to have a hospital in the Detroit area 10 mins away
@hairdresser1300 if you live in a sparsely populated area "up north" then you're not going to be near a hospital. That's for sure. So if you want to be out of the city, then that's what you deal with. You'll have to drive a ways to get to anything. Grocery stores, gas stations, whatever.
Us too! The best decision ever! I hate going down state. I don't even like to go as far south as the Zilwaukee bridge 😂 It gives me anxiety
In Dearborn and Dbn Hgts. At one time it was a great place to live. Now crime has increased Fairlane is a good example and its being converted more and more to the mid east which at one time was just a small area in eastern Dearborn.
Thank OBAMA for that. He's an Arab who intends to make this country an ARAB country.
Signs in hieroglyphics.😮
Fairlane was getting sketch by the mid 1980s. The whole character changed overnight.
Yep agree 💯
Born and raised in west Dearborn. Left when I got married and now my entire extended family have moved away as well. Don’t even recognize it anymore. Don’t feel welcome in my own home town and can’t stand driving through it as it looks like sh!t.
There is no way I'd ever move to Dearborn for any reason.
Detroit is not a suburb
Toilet bowl of michigan
When i left.. Dearborn became all Palestinian,
Detroit had a rebuild plan, Nestle was still removing water from lake superior to bottle and sell it as pure life bottled water. Michigan state gave Nestle free access
Flint was still trying to fix the water crisis, did that ever get fixed????
Flint still does not have clean water

Nope
No
I bought a book at a bookstore in Fort Wayne Indiana. It is titled " Detroit: An American Autopsy" by Charles Leduff", which explains on a number of verifiable subjects, how Detroit went from a glorious past, to a dismal present. Situation: critical.
That book was from 10 years ago. Was already old news when it was published.
Average home prices are so out of control! Cost of homes and cars combined is a big fat payments that no one can really afford! So ridiculous
I was raised in west Dearborn you would have to pay me a lot of money to go back there. We call it New Mecca.

I always wondered why Dearborn Heights exists when there was already Dearborn. Did Dearborn break off into two separate cities? I have family in Detroit and that city is undergoing a revival that I’ve never seen before and at such an aggressive pace. I’m proud to see this happening.
Dearborn Heights was pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle back in 1960, with bits from Dearborn Township and a skinny strip borrowed from Inkster. It’s like the town planners played a game of ‘connect the dots’!
North and South Dearborn Heights. It's like two totally different places too. Lol
Not everyone wants a 3 thousand sq. ft. home.
No, but is that partly because it is unaffordable for so many?
Not everyone wants to stop every 50 yards

No thanks..... too much conflict comes with the people there.
There is no conflict there it’s nice and peaceful. I live here….no problems.
Very well said

@@claudiastevens9628 😂😂😂
Love the older homes. Do not love the cold. I left Minnesota decades ago to get away from it. I love Georgia and Tennessee area -- so beautiful and cost of living is very reasonable.
Anything in a fifty mile radius of Grand Rapids is expensive right now , house below 300,000 need updating and anything at 150 or less probably needs complete renovation, land is crazy pricey with lots in subdivisions going well over 100k , apartments are up to 2000 a month
Lots of people have been dying of old age in Warren almost all the houses for sale around me are being sold by the kids of those who died
Dearborn is a huge NO for me.... just sayin'
Facts!!
Me too
Born and raised in Detroit in the 60's on the north end where it borders Hamtramck. Family moved from North end to the Westside (Fenkell & Schaefer) in 78. Dearborn of Them (Hamtramck too!!!) is NOT to Dearborn if today. They have both been overran and I'll leave it rugby thetr
Why because you are a bigot? Dearborn doesn’t want you either bro. Grow up.
What's wrong with dearborn in your opinion?
People are moving out of Dearborn it's because if not every year there's a basic storm that comes through and it floods Dearborn it's. Alot of insurance issues etc. I'll comment as I watch.. but Farmington your absolutely correct. The homes are outdated and there's no development 😕
Ya, crime n everything else has nothing to do with it at all 😂😂
Dearborn doesn't flood. Dearborn Heights floods. Ford Field in Dearborn floods. It's designed to do that. It's a catch basin for when the Rouge River floods, just like Hines Drive.
Dearborn doesn't flood. That one flood a few years ago, was a fluke. However, A LOT of people didn't like what happened to their homes and made plenty noise about it. I don't think any of the residents there are hurrying to move.
Back when my husband and I were house hunting, we were drawn to beautiful mansions in Detroit. However, reality sunk in when some of the highlighted features included security cameras, anti burglar windows, iron gates, etc…… uhm…. No. And since we wanted to grow a family, educational options was number one on our list. I grew up in Detroit and will always have love for this city but I doubt I will ever move back.
I recently bought a house in Warren, I like the area, and the home. But it always bugs me when people talk about Warren as a whole, but Warren has different parts. It’s a square city with a highway that cuts through it. I like to think of it as a quadrant square. Lower quads are undesirable and keep the police dept busy, the upper right is the best quad, and upper left ain’t to bad either but a better value. I live in the upper right, quick drive to Sterling Heights, and quick to get on the highway.
I moves to Warren over 20 years ago when there was one other black family on our block. There are 3 other families and every home in the last 2 years were purchased by families from India. Every white owned stores are owned by Chaldeans who collect welfare checks to supplement their income. You’re welcome! The entire surrounding suburbs have various nationalities in the Macomb Cty community. Most benefit from free benefits while laying low and bringing others here as well. While I and my husband who keep a immaculate lawn and home, work hard,pay taxes and have never been on welfare are the problem. Now I want to move out further as well. 😂
I’ve also heard from other neighbors, they don’t appreciate the curry smell all the time. 😂
You sound a little bitter...and racist. Chaldeans that own stores and collect welfare checks? If you OWN a store don't you have to pay property taxes on that..as well as your home? I think you need to really take a deep breath and smell the curry dear.. you're out of touch with reality.
You should move you definitely would be more comfortable with the rest of the racist,ignorant Trumpsters you'd fit right in. Do you realize there are way more white people then minorities on welfare programs just visit Port Huron and you can see for yourself
I lived in Detroit Michigan born and raised. When I became an adult i explored many of suburban areas to live. I live in the downriver area now. Close to Monroe. I love it. Buying a house no. Had two of those in my 20s. Im looking for land. I want to buy land land land
I live in Monroe and love it. Yes, I agree, land would be nice.
My Sis moved from Detroit and lives in La Salle..which is south of Monroe..she has 17 acres..she loves it and it is beautiful out that way..
Hope you can afford the property tax.
People from the city move to undeveloped hot spots and many bring their problems with them. There goes the neighborhood again! Realtors do grease the skids.
Taxes are high in some areas. I don’t know why. That’s $500. Extra a month
You can thank that snake John Engler. It's criminal that people are related for white flight and pay nothing in comparison in values in property taxes as we do in Wayne county. To me it's today's redlining and a means for the banks/fanny may to get people to move and generate more income for the government and the wealthy
I leave in Michigan and love it. Shame on you for showing burned out homes in Detroit which have probably been torn down by now. Detroit, Pontiac, Dearborn are not desirable areas. Who needs new construction? Beautiful homes in Grosse Pointe areas, Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Washington Twp, Shelby Twp. and then the lake area, St. Clair, Port Huron... love the 4 seasons, great lakes and up north. Homes in MI are still way more affordable than many other areas in the US.
100 homes are lower costs. I am looking to move back to MI when I retire in 3 yrs. MY big concern moving back, has the POLICE force improved in Detroit metro area, what are the taxes like?
Lol
@@lesleykrickler3674 There is no singe metro Detroit police force.
The police departments in the Metro Detroit area are all understaffed. Even worse, the Wayne county sheriff's department is severely understaffed as well as the Wayne County prosecutor's office. I am a retired police officer and still live in the area. Be prepared to defend yourself because you can't count on 911 to save you.
My thoughts exactly.He probably couldn't cut it in real estate.His prices and city info is way off.
12:51 but that’s what allowed middle class families to buy their first home. Builders today only want to build half a million dollar McMansions on oversized lots. The former is the far more sustainable approach.
I grew up in a family of 5, in a three bedroom ranch in Sterling Hts. (1970s-1980s). I shared a bedroom until I was 18 but that was my parents’ first house and the only way they could buy in.
We need more of these small homes on small lots.
I was born and raised here too. I have never been able to afford a house because as a single parent money was tight and when I could save up enough to put down a down payment the prices would double or triple and I still wouldn't have enough. I saw a small piece of land 5 years ago for $1000 and should have bought it but didn't because I knew at the age of 68 my retirement wasn't enough to build a house. Now that tiny piece of land would cost me between $45k to $75k. In the last 4 years prices have skyrocketed. I think there are three reasons for this massive increase in prices. One is that the people running the real estate market are price gouging so that they can get bigger paychecks. The second reason is that people are price gouging because they all want to be richer. The third reason
I live in Farmington Hills! I actually recognize you from that Busch's grocery store, I used to work the self-scans/front desk there a couple years back. Neat video!
Ahhh! That's awesome! I worked at Bush's for YEARS before getting into real estate and loved the company. I'm still at that Busch's alllllll the time.
you watched peoplescan stuff and called it work. thats super
@@chrhadden nope. I'm old. I worked there prior to any of the "u scan" stuff.
@PaulWolfert Busch's is a great market. I drive from Commerce to their 14 & Farmington Rd store, to shop. Out here in the Lakes area, grocery shopping took a hit when Hiller's closed. It is a choice between Kroger's or Meijer's out this way, except for a few small stores to get your groceries.
I love Farmington Hills. It’s a great community
Me too!
Just subbed your channel, as a Sterling Heights resident I like your content. I am afraid I hate the new soulless houses built today or even from the early 2000’s. I live in a 1924 bungalow in what l feel is the best sub here Wanda Park. Every house is different and not cookie cutter soulless, except where the newer houses were built east of me. I started in Centerline with my 1st two houses, I built up equity and used it to get my current house.
I could never live in a subdivision,UGH!
We're in Sterling Heights. We're moving to Brown City this year. Newly retired and moving to the country.🚜🐓🐄
I'm surprised Hazel Park and Ferndale didn't make the list. We moved out of Hazel Park 32 years ago.
Im trying to get out of ferndale again, moving to blissville after july 4th. Ferndale has become......best i can say is woke as hell and not much common sense or logic here. Also hard drugs n crime rising very very fast since last year
Hazel Park is in no way equivalent to Ferndale. You must've moved several decades ago to include those two cities in the same sentence
@@jasonkaraszkiewicz1025 nope i live here, just got back from a year in Florida. And ive seen how much its changed just in a year, as well as whats been moving in to both towns. Been watching people pack up n moving out since spring. N seeing the abc people and the crime moving in. Guess ya not watchin the news eh, been shootings etc all around. Hell theres a few crack houses i see when i walk my dog around town here in ferndale. But hey, enjoy living in your bubble
You should see Berkley. 🙄
A Ferndale cousin.
Hazel Park is super hot right now because you can still find a house under 200k.
Worked in Detroit more than 30 years. Despite new business's downtown, neighborhoods behind it are burned, vandalized homes that should have been torn down the last 30 years.
Former Highland township resident here. Does anyone else feel like the Detroit suburbs ended there in the 2000s and Haven't really grown since? Fenton and Holly have a feel of being more like Flint suburbs or satellite communities it seems. What do you think about this?
Totally agree, cime and drugs on the rise. Holly been getting very crowded since last year
Folks are moving out of the city of Grand Rapids and to the suburbs or Grand Rapids. It's gorgeous out here in farm country.
Please dont become one of those city transplants that complain about the farm smells.
2:35 It is so incredibly beautifully green in Dearborn Heights, at least at this time of year!
Bike lanes everywhere like we are a southern climite and...brand new traffic lights everywhere....where is the money coming for that?
We have functioning traffic lights, but roads with pot holes on expressway ramps...wtf
Marijuana taxes!
I bet they are developing toward a “Smart City”..

I was born in Dearborn ( Oakwood ) Taylor ,1956 to 1974. Lived in Iron Mountain and Kingsford. 1974 - 1982 . I've lived in Tucson Az for 42 years.
Phoenix is another city Michigan natives move to. My HS friends moved there 50 years ago.
Novi, Wixom, Commerce, Walled Lake, all beautiful places with access to wilderness but still only within a half hour of Downtown Detroit. My favorite part of Michigan as well as brighton included. Love the brighton rec area with the beaches.
They are far more commercialized than they were when I was growing up in Novi. Couldn't pay me to move back. Live in Lansing now and it is more like those areas used to be save for the South side issues. Far more parks too and about 10 minutes in any direction and you are in the country. It is fine for us for now but eventually I want to move to a rural area.
Garden City is in decline too.
Some of it, because hoods from the hood are getting in
Better than it was when I was a kid. Just shady around ink town.
@@m42037 how to say you're racist without saying it.
I’m shocked that people are leaving Farmington Hills! I was born and raised there but I decided to move to AZ for the weather. If I ever moved back to MI I would choose Farmington Hills
Farmington hills is a great area!
I dont understand, this is misleading. What matters is net population change. If a million people left last year, and 1.1M people moved in, then its growing. High turnover means a healthy local economy. I'm sure there are rural places in northern Michigan where no one leaves and no one moves in, and they're stagnant economies. It very much depends on what you're looking for (young vs old vs fast-paced vs quiet, etc)
I moved to GR in 2022. They don’t have traffic. They whine about it but every Detroit suburb has much much worse traffic.
I swear, when I was there last time, I barely saw any traffic.
I worked in Wyoming and had to wait every morning on the off ramp to 36th street. Once there was an accident at Clay and 36th. I sat, nearly in my own piss, for 50 minutes on the off ramp. Nope, GR just sucks. Full of stuffy, snobby, aloof turds. I was so glad to commute for 20 years 60 miles each way. Poo Poo to the soap city.
@@Calico_on_oaw people wait in Almont (~3k people) for 1 hour minimum every day just trying to get to or from work. Because it’s really the only way to get down to Detroit from reasonably. You had how many different ways you could have took that would have only put you out of your way by 10-15 minutes?
I wouldn’t live anywhere in Wayne co.
Wonder why people are leaving Dearborn??? Hahahah
Don't laugh. At least they're moving up.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the congresswoman Rashida Tlaib 😂
@@lisal4623
Good point.
Sorry hit the wrong button and sent that through without the third reason. The third reason is that they are trying to price immigrants in poor people out of the state. No one can afford to live here anymore who is earning below $100,000 per year. Apartments are the best they can do unless they want to live in a rundown roach infested home in the inner city. It is a shame the state has become so elitist that they only want wealthy people living here. I'm a retired teacher living on less than $30,000 a year and can barely make ends meet. Thanks a lot Michigan!
its probably YOUR crappy voting practices that got it that way, so u just be quiet and sit down
You're right. My ex sister in law had to move to Colorado because welfare in Michigan couldnt keep.up with her lifestyle.
@@itsjustme7487 well that's a bit of a slam on your ex-sister-in-law but you are right, people on welfare can't afford to live here anymore either even the rents are outrageous now. That actually might explain why so many people are leaving Detroit. They are probably moving down south where life is still a little bit cheaper.
@itsjustme7487 now that's hilarious😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm from West Michigan and it's doing just fine on this side of the state we're thriving there's tons of jobs we really don't have no worries on this side of the state and people love it over here
Stop bragging..prices are already out of control
@@thebobsmith1991 🤣🤣🤣 ok I'll stop 😁
@oneremadytv8773 it is great, though, lol, but it's not for everybody 😆🤣 🏖
I grew up in Detroit and currently live in a little suburb that touches SWD. I went to visit West Michigan in Holland and could not believe the difference. It was like a whole different state! This is where I want to retire. It's beautiful, never thought I would say I didn't want to live this city life but there's nothing to do here.
@@mariaacostarizzo7623 theirs a lot do in this county. I'm in the same county Holland in and it's always poppin never gets boring. You just have to know where to go.
Starter home, starter home.... So anyone at any age that works their tale off for $20-$30 and saves for years for a functional cozy home is a "starter". Very insulting. Why would a realtor even say that?.
Detroit was a Beautiful City. My Grandparents met there and my Grandfather owned a Blacksmith shop called the Groll Brothers Blacksmith. For years I’ve been looking for tools , or just anything that has to do with Groll Brothers or The Groll Brothers Blacksmith shop.
Updated Census Bureau numbers show that Detroit’s population increased by more than 1800 people in 2023. That’s the largest increase of any city in Michigan and the first year over year increase in Detroit since 1957.
Yes I saw that, too. Great news for a city making a huge comeback!
Probably the illegal aliens being bussed from city to city.
I live in the heart of Detroit. I don't think the numbers are correct.
@@salemdesigns65 When did you conduct your census? I live two miles from Downtown. There are dozens of new apartments and renovations within a 15 minute drive.
@richardvinsen2385
New units doesn't mean new residents.
saw this video, i flip homes in Michigan up north I purchased a small building that was converted to a 2 bed paid 45k.
Traverse City is no longer the nice community it once was!
I left it all for sunny Arizona 25 years ago and never looked back!
We left Arizona after 42 years and moved to Grosse point farms - LOVE IT 😊
I'm from Rochester. Moved to Arizona 5 years ago and can't wait to get back to Michigan@@relevantinformation6655
We moved back to MI after living in AZ for 13 years, the way the market shifted since we left, I wouldn’t be able to afford my old house there.
Born and raised in Clinton Twp. Lived for 19 years in Shelby Twp. Now I live in a small house on 40 acres in Ogemaw County and life is good. Sad to hear about Lakeside Mall though.
Mayor Hubbard of Dearborn kept groups of people out of Dearborn. Specifically, he kept Afro-Americans out of Dearborn. Many people remembered him for his bigotry which was effective for awhile, but some from Inkster, Westland, Belleville moved to Dearborn Hgts.
I know he's doing Cartwheels in his Grave 🤓
I was just thinking the same thing it use to be a sundown town and now the crime rate is sky rocket
So busy keeping blacks coming in the front door that the arabs came in the back
That was at the same time good old Coleman Young was mayor of Detroit. Two bigoted mayors.
@@deborahmartinez1437Orville was mayor long before Young was. They both had a few years at the same time in the late 70's. But I doubt they hung out together 😂
I am from the Detroit area lived in Inkster Wayne Westland we have family that still lives there but a good bunch of them have moved
Rentals will kill these Cities. I know, because this list pretty much matches top Repo Areas. When you are 28 and have 7 addresses in the last 4 Years, you aren’t buying Homes. Renters don’t care about what they Rent, Most Renters don’t want to put money into their Rental, so Subs with Tons of Rentals tend to look the same. Meanwhile, the Homeowners are buying homes West and Subsidizing it with the money they make on their $44K, 1980 Westland Purchase… Let’s be real, the entire State is slowly crumbling, I wouldn’t live here if my Family didn’t.
How many of those available homes, the people passed away, or had to be placed in a nursing home. Didn't move away. The suburbs you mentioned are full of elderly people.
Not sure 🤷♂️
You should have included property taxes and crime. The main reasons people leave
I talk a LOT about taxes in my other vids. Probably too much. As an active real estate agent, I can't talk about crime or demographics.
Just because the train station was restored doesn't mean Detroit is back! The building is beautiful though but 80% of Detroit is still terrible
And how do you know? Why don't you just get lost!
Detroit is now 1/3 vacant land. The city has made tremendous strides in blight removal. This available land is positive for the future!
We're fighting for less than 80%
99% or Detroit is trash
@@ssinelli226 Ya keep rooting for a football team that hasn't won since the Eisenhower administration 1957 😂
Hard to believe there’s only 61 houses for sale in Grand Rapids.
This has to be just the city of Grand Rapids. If you added all the burbs it would be 10 fold that.
I'm not sure this dude knows anything about GR. He thinks people are leaving to buy houses in the Detroit subs? Yeah ok guy.
Why leave the bigger cities? Quality of life is priceless!! And the most expensive house in Grandrapids 1.75 that woud be 1 million 750 thousand, not 1 million 75 thousand.
I think this is a bit skewed. Most of the cities mentioned are mostly starter home areas except for Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor. They leave Ann Arbor because people want to get away from college kids. But the others are leaving the cities for forever homes and most were starter home areas. I left metro Detroit and moved to Port Austin/Caseville area. I’ll never go back. I was sick of city life, rude people and traffic etc.
Unfortunately, it is flight to rural areas. My sleepy rural area has turned into Novi west. Never seen so many subs built since the housing boom. With that comes crime, noise pollution and rude people who bring their liberal politics with them. They left sh**holes because of the politics but their views never change.

I live in Ypsilanti Michigan I love it no complaints not all of Michigan is bad check it out your self I been in Ypsilanti for three years now love it here
So I know why it's simple it's who's moving in . I've lived in most of the cities during different periods of time . Starting in Detroit 80 n 90s their were still polish folk living there that took pride in their home's alot of blocks still looked nice as they died off scum moved in by 2000s whole blocks were burned down.
Warren Roseville in the 90s looked like a suburban city 95 percent of the home's looked great around Obama time in office that same unwanted element that destroyed Detroit moved in both Warren and Roseville look like ghettos .
Dearborn there's no way to sugar coat this it's the Arabs and muslims we all know this there's more in Dearborn than the rest of the country their not bad people if you take the time to learn about them but most don't bother.
I mean it's nice to show the few nice homes in these locations but ur hiding the fact in the last 24 years all the nearby suburbs have been made to look like trash.
Work in Detroit for the last 15 years. It's not what people think broken down torn up homes everywhere.
The city outside the 2 square mile, what everyone likes. It's just a mess.
The WeBes are moving in.We be here Webe there.
That's a harsh comment....but....true in every way 🤷🏻♂️ Certain ethnic communities cannot seemingly live in a civilized society. Sounds bad to say but the truth is as bright as the sun
@@richardtrudeau7363Ebonics talking I get it lol. Only Corktown is nice in most part, the train station is beautiful but 80% of Detroit is still destroyed
