Detroit is well and alive. The media is seriously lying. Detroit is coming back. The jobs will be back, it's just a matter of time. Other than that, I love Detroit, gotta respect it. This old city plays a major part in American history.
Just got back from Detroit. I am a white man age 66. Awesome, you could feel the positive energy. Every where I went mostly black. Treated like a long lost friend. Great experience. Detroit and America is on its way back. Go Detroit you all are amazing!
Detroit really is making a change. It will take a long time though. When I was there, you didn't see folks walking around, no construction, and not a lot of the renovation you see today. It's an awesome city with a lot to do. I'm glad it's turning around. It's one of my favorite destinations.
What is there to do? You said there was lots to do. But I bet it's a blast being in downtown when no one else is there. It's like you have it all to yourself.
Sergio Sanz The city’s economy centered (centers) around the auto industry. Over the past few decades, most of those jobs were shipped overseas. Also, unions demanded too much money from companies. This also played a huge role in the overseas shipment of jobs. As a result, their economy has been decimated, because they didn’t have a diverse portfolio, consisting of many different industries - like Chicago or NYC does. Most of their population was forced to move elsewhere.
Detroit is absolutely stunning, the Paris of the west. Gorgeous pre-war architecture and walkable streets, incredible history. What more could you ask for? One of America's most beautiful cities.
Detroit's history is fascinating. It's amazing to think that it was the 4th largest city at one time. The old architecture is priceless and its a shame that so many were demolished or destroyed after years of neglect. However I'm glad to see that there is a revival in downtown and a movement to preserve and restore the old buildings.
I have never seen such an amazing city in my life ! I know Detroit has some issues but just look at the downtown ... It looks just amazing ! It must be spectacular at night ... And the video quality is incredible ! Greeting from Europe Romania :)
Michoacano MX. because it’s a boring cold place , the people are funny but life’s slow here not too many ppl with big dreams and if they do have big dreams they leave this place
@@henryderymacneil1707 that could be the case but I tend to see that people around here are stuck in there ways and think working w factory job 9-5 with 2 kids in a 90k house in Warren is content for them, to me I can’t be content with that kind of living I can’t blame them tho because Detroit had its population boom solely off the factories paying people more than anywhere else in the USA during the era... sadly those jobs and money got shipped away overseas
@_ Steve _ still a boring place the suburbs especially , only nice suburbs are the lakes area with cass lake orchard lake and all them between wixom and auburn hills , other than that it’s all flat grids with cookie cutter houses People are nice tho ur right just not ambitious pretty content with mediocrity
This footage is a little deceptive. It was clearly filmed during the middle of the day. Detroit has large crowds and traffic on the street later in the day, like any other large American city.
Have you ever been there? The architecture is spectacular--both the historic landmarks like the Guardian Building and modern buildings like the Renaissance Center. Campus Martius is one of the best urban public spaces in America. The boulevards like Woodward and Jefferson are grand. Works of public art like The Spirit of Detroit and the Monument to Joe Louis are iconic. The waterfront is nicely landscaped. There are many great festivals in the warmer months. It's an outstanding downtown that is becoming increasingly vibrant.
mike jones nothing to do? what can't you do in Detroit exactly? lol name it... I want to know. You just proved you never been there. And no shopping? you obviously haven't been to any of the 20+ malls in the Detroit area like Somerset, Great Lakes, Twelve Oaks, ect and boutiques all around the area like Nojo Kicks (one of the best sneaker stores).
Watching this video is a great reminder of how far downtown Detroit has come since this 2016. A lot of the buildings that appear empty in this video are fully occupied now, and there's more planned. I love my city.
Beautiful beautiful city, my kinda place, so much love and work went into building the city, everything seems to occupy its natural place, you can tell it has a wealthy past.
+zack waterman that's the difference... you obviously don't know much about Detroit if your bringing up the fucking media of all people lol... Greektown is a nightlife district and is very safe... go there on any given night and see how many white people are out there... Detroit has plenty of events that has whites downtown at night as well... Detroit's violent crime problem is mostly between black people who beefing with eachother... New Orleans is more dangerous than Detroit and the French Quarter is much more dangerous than downtown Detroit... yet how many white people are walking around the French Quarter in New Orleans at night???
+zack waterman and yeah the politicians are the biggest crooks... just like America... the fact is politicians will protect the attractive areas much better than the hood because more money is made there
***** You saying that because you think I don't know that? lol. What does that have to do with white people hanging out after dark? like I said shootings in Detroit aren't random their usually between drug dealers, gangs, domestic conflicts, ect. and a high crime rate doesn't mean every single part of Detroit is dangerous, just like every part of Chicago, New Orleans, Memphis, Miami, Philly isn't dangerous. All of those cities have been in the top 10 as well yet white people still hang out at night in those cities. Detroit is no different.
I have been in Detroit downtown 🇺🇸 and Harry Ford Museum, Detroit River, Ambassador Bridge, Detroit- Windsor Tunnel. Because my family live in Detroit for 8-9 times. From U.K.🇬🇧
Lol, all of these racist people who have never even been to Detroit are lying about it, claiming they lived there. Getting so upset when others who have actually lived there/still do, want to move back or stay for awhile. They want all their assumptions about Detroit to be true.
Detroit's truly making a comeback, to see how the city is now compared to how things were in the 90s and early 2000s, downtown during those years was just filled with nothing but empty skyscrapers and vacant lots, now its more lively than its ever been, I truly believe in a few more years that Detroit would start seeing more population growth in other parts of the city being revitalized.
I have a tour where I walked an hour across Detroit saw basically no abandoned houses no violence and people even spoke to me even passed nice big houses in a few clean grass cut neighborhoods , Moral of the story don't let the media fool Detroit's crime rate is significantly low and has declined every year there hasn't even been one hundred murders this year but then again the year isn't over from we been out of bankruptcy for years now and Detroit is worth $277 Billion dollars , it has condos , Arena's , stadiums , houses being built , houses getting fixed every day and jobs keep on popping up including the new plants getting built soon if you want to see the video I would be happy to release as well there are tons of mansions in the City and historical homes
It’s gonna take waaaaaay longer than a few years. It’ll be at least 25-30 years.....maybe even longer. You don’t repair the damage that’s been done overnight. It was too monumental. The occupancy spaces of those buildings are still 80% vacant, and there’s still barely anyone in the city. It still looks like something out of “I am Legend.” A city like this should look like Chicago, in terms of hustle and bustle. It’s nowhere near that.
Detroit Downtown is beautiful, its way better than Downtown Houston or Los Angeles, this city needs to clean the bad reputation it has, Detroit can have alot of tourism, it has alot of beautiful attractions.
Was just in Detroit yesterday, it really is coming along very nicely, went to see a RedWing game before the Joe closes My daughter and I were impressed
I’m glad Detroits downtown is looking better. Yes, we still got a long way to go but we will get there. Detroit will be back one day. It’s rich in history and has one of the highest middle east population in the US. The motor city will be back ❤️🚗
There are only 5 blocks downtown that are nice. Night time you risk your life. Crime is #1 per capita in America. Burned out homes outside the core, empty lots everywhere....a scar in America.
There is a reason why so many billionares & wealthy people are buying up Detroit especially along the river & the downtown areas. The city has changed allot over the past 10 years. Very soon the city its self will have all of its professional sports teams all just North of downtown. The only really bad thing about Detroit & Michigan is its high car insurance as per state law. Ohio is the second cheapest in the U.S.
Very curious to see what happens with Detroit in the future. Love the city center. Didn't know that about the car insurance. Thanks for the comment! :)
Justin Thompson the city won’t become popular friend Chicago is 3-4 hours away and everyone here just goes there for fun, or they go to Toronto Two cities that passed Detroit up and will continue to do so
I need to visit downtown Detroit. I was born there in 1963, but moved soon after to Denver CO where I still live. I've never been in the downtown area of Detroit, only the Ford Museum.
I went to Detroit to visit family about 2months ago and downtown was anything but deserted. There was more than enough traffic and people all over the place. Actually it was more people walking around here than in downtown Houston. The streets seem to be very narrow though.
i gotta to lose my mind there. i don't wanna go home, i wanna go to live to detroit in america how i wish i was born in america specially detroit detroiters are lucky people
Comparé a aux différents vidéos que je regarde sur votre chaîne (New York, Miami, etc) Détroit ressemble a une ville fantôme, il y a très peu de voiture dans les rues, très peu de circulation, très peu de personnes dehors, pas d''animation ci étant, c'est une très belle ville , c'est très bien filmé, j'aime beaucoup regarder vos reportage, moi qui n'ai jamais mis les pieds au usa grâce à vous je voyage encore merci
Спасибо м р Драйв!!!С удовольствием познакомилась с крупнейшим городом штата Мичиган ДЕТРОЙТОМ расположенным между Трёх Великих Озер!!! Красивый Деловой Центр широкие улицы красивые разнообразные Небоскребы Чистое небо и думается что и Азон соответственно чистый!!!Удачного Вам Пути!!!👍
Patrick Schio the city is not quiet... and although this isn't peak hours... it was cars and people in the video... about the same amount as most other cities in the US... this video has about the same amount of traffic as his Atlanta, Buffalo, San Antionio, and Houston video just to name a few.
Patrick Schio Detroit is VERY quiet. I'm from San Francisco so I know traffic and I know busy pedestrian traffic. That stuff is heavy here in the city. To me this video is like a ghost town.
San Francisco's land area is also smaller than the westside of Detroit alone. SF can't help but to seem alot busier because it is much more densely populated. But Detroit's population density is higher than most of the other cities in the top 25 largest cities in America. But like someone else said, you can't judge what downtown Detroit is like off of one video. Downtown during business hours and weekends are much more lively than alot of other cities I've been to.
Even in 2020, after just 4 years, so much has changed down here for the better! There is still LOTS of work to be done in Detroit, but downtown is booming!
Detroit has a nice downtown. I love the art deco buildings. I think the press gives Detroit a bad name just for the media ratings. Of course there are bad areas, just like in any other American city. I certainly don’t see the “dangerous no mans land” they talk bout all the time.
I spent two nights in Detroit in the summer of 2015...what an interesting city Detroit was. Many of the areas around downtown had clearly seen better days, but downtown itself was surprisingly lively.
The people are crazy and funny there as well. They've got good food. There was this old beat up place called 'Greens BBQ' had some of the best bbq I've ever had. Then Miley and Miley's had some good fried shrimp used to eat there all the time. The vibe there is something else. People are really interesting there.
I visited Detroit a couple of years ago. Stayed for a week. I actually thought it was pretty cool. Had a good time. I am a car fanatic. It is the place to be!
This video was obviously outside of peak time and events.This looks no different than downtown LA outside of peak hours and events. Like most downtown major US cities it isn't that busy when there's nothing going on. It's about the same amount of traffic and people walking around as his videos in Atlanta, Buffalo, San Antonio, Houston, ect.
Being in California, Los Angeles doesn't really have a very busy downtown. As I said earlier in another comment. Downtown San Francisco is truly pedestrian heavy. I live here so I know, even after peak hours, a lot of people tend to walk the downtown streets. Don't get me started on the horrible grid lock traffic.
So yeah obviously you never been to San Francisco, if you call what you see in this video "foot traffic" lol. Shit looks fucking dead. Foot traffic is when you cross the street and you bump shoulder to shoulder with people and go left to righty, (which is what happens here in San Francisco)
American cities are so strange. Skyscrapers alongside empty streets with hardly any pedestrians. Almost post apocalyptic. Cities in Europe and Asia, even much smaller towns , are all so vibrant and full of commotion.
Many areas of Detroit's arterial network of roads have become so devoid of traffic that it is now a paradise for cyclists. Once a void opens up it will always be filled in one way or another.
Detroit has the coolest city name and trust me it holds up. The music scene is very very there!!! I grew up south of Detroit and I went there often and the clubs.... I felt like I was always in a dream, it was always lit with music and dark with atmospheres, even the biggest clubs, I remember it was so big and dim, still busted a move. I think people have the wrong idea about Detroit. People don't mess with you unless you mess with them.
Looks like a huge beautiful City, but why so lonely, a City so big should have a crowdy streets and traffic jams, México City with 25 millions of People looks like a jungle of cars, train, buses, lot of buildings, but Detroit looks big, clean of People and cars
Ever since I watched robocop I wanted to go to Detroit (despite it not painting Detroit in the best of lights ) but some films do that. They might not be the best subject matter but they'll still make you want to go there... Like Edinburgh and trainspotting for instance. In fact, I went to a lot of the filming locations for trainspotting while I was in Edinburgh. Thanks for these videos.
Where's the public transportation, the trains, busses and what runs along those tracks in the street? Where are the shops, stores even a 7 Eleven? Where is everybody?
there are no seven elevens here just in the suburbs there is an Amtrak and a train that is new and being put further under expansion , to correspond to the 367 million dollar arena being built , there are busses
Buses stop running after 7:00 pm they were still building the tracks for the rails you saw. During the week after 5:00 pm people usually go home. There are not a lot of franchises downtown. Honestly this video covered about 70% of downtown

Absolutely correct! Things are headed in a positive direction!
especially now that Trump is elected
They got a long way to go. Population drop drastically.
If you go five minutes outside of downtown totally different setting.
Brian Horne even downtown there seems to be nobody. I bet businesses have gone bankrupt there
Just got back from Detroit. I am a white man age 66. Awesome, you could feel the positive energy.
Every where I went mostly black.
Treated like a long lost friend.
Great experience. Detroit and America is on its way back.
Go Detroit you all are amazing!
Detroit really is making a change. It will take a long time though. When I was there, you didn't see folks walking around, no construction, and not a lot of the renovation you see today. It's an awesome city with a lot to do. I'm glad it's turning around. It's one of my favorite destinations.

Dan True it’s 2018 and it’s changed so much! a ton of people here around today
Detroit is making a change to get poorer 😂😅😆

I you like big cities, but hate crowds and traffic, Detroit is it!
Nice drive JU!
better than traffic jam plus affordable housing
@Sergio Sanz It's Detroit...
The city has half the population it had last century.
@Sergio Sanz nobody lives there
Sergio Sanz The city’s economy centered (centers) around the auto industry.
Over the past few decades, most of those jobs were shipped overseas.

As a result, their economy has been decimated, because they didn’t have a diverse portfolio, consisting of many different industries - like Chicago or NYC does.
Most of their population was forced to move elsewhere.
Detroit has some strange appeal for me. I love its history and beautiful old buildings.
My school actually takes field trips to Detroit, not just because it’s close but for the art in the city.
@@entitledbobcat I used to do that back in 5th grade. Sadly im in middle now and im about to graduate to high school. Man it was great!

The architecture is a must-see snapshot in time! Highly recommend a visit!
Detroit the Paris of the West are fucking on drugs
Rapture582 Lol "the Paris of the west" last time i checked Paris was still in "the west"
LOL at the Paris comment :D
Too bad Detroit got run down after manufacturing jobs left. Now, the city is plagued by violent crime and urban decay.
very elegance , clean nice city view ,, good city for travelling

4th largest city in America in 1920 (i googled it), in case any one else also thought this person meant 4th largest in the world
I have never seen such an amazing city in my life ! I know Detroit has some issues but just look at the downtown ... It looks just amazing ! It must be spectacular at night ... And the video quality is incredible ! Greeting from Europe Romania :)

Don't go to the ghettos you will get fucked up. I had to pepper spray 2 people and used a stun gun on the other... I lied.
There is my dream city. No traffic no many persons at the streets. Nice!
Loved!

There is a reason why so many billionares & wealthy people are buying up Detroit especially along the river & the downtown areas. The city has changed allot over the past 10 years. Very soon the city its self will have all of its professional sports teams all just North of downtown.
The only really bad thing about Detroit & Michigan is its high car insurance as per state law. Ohio is the second cheapest in the U.S.

Comparé a aux différents vidéos que je regarde sur votre chaîne (New York, Miami, etc) Détroit ressemble a une ville fantôme, il y a très peu de voiture dans les rues, très peu de circulation, très peu de personnes dehors, pas d''animation ci étant, c'est une très belle ville , c'est très bien filmé, j'aime beaucoup regarder vos reportage, moi qui n'ai jamais mis les pieds au usa grâce à vous je voyage encore merci
i love Dertroit !! american motor city forever !!!
I love watching your videos. Big cities are really interesting :)
Its so sad for a leading industrial city like Detroit to collapse.
Really enjoyed your video. I've drivin down these streets many times myself.

This city is too quiet...
They do not see peoples in the streets, few cars circulating...
Patrick Schio the city is not quiet... and although this isn't peak hours... it was cars and people in the video... about the same amount as most other cities in the US... this video has about the same amount of traffic as his Atlanta, Buffalo, San Antionio, and Houston video just to name a few.
Patrick Schio Detroit is VERY quiet. I'm from San Francisco so I know traffic and I know busy pedestrian traffic. That stuff is heavy here in the city. To me this video is like a ghost town.
Lol orlando downtown is usually packed, so dont make assumptions off of one video when you dont know nothin about the city
San Francisco's land area is also smaller than the westside of Detroit alone. SF can't help but to seem alot busier because it is much more densely populated. But Detroit's population density is higher than most of the other cities in the top 25 largest cities in America. But like someone else said, you can't judge what downtown Detroit is like off of one video. Downtown during business hours and weekends are much more lively than alot of other cities I've been to.
Marvin Strong buffalo definately has more traffic and people
Even in 2020, after just 4 years, so much has changed down here for the better! There is still LOTS of work to be done in Detroit, but downtown is booming!

Detroit has a nice downtown. I love the art deco buildings. I think the press gives Detroit a bad name just for the media ratings. Of course there are bad areas, just like in any other American city. I certainly don’t see the “dangerous no mans land” they talk bout all the time.
Love your channel
I like how Detroit is actually making a comeback now, with that I don't think it's the #1 most dangerous city in America now
I spent two nights in Detroit in the summer of 2015...what an interesting city Detroit was. Many of the areas around downtown had clearly seen better days, but downtown itself was surprisingly lively.
+zack waterman not downtown
I easily prefer Downtown Detroit to Downtown Buffalo...I live in Buffalo
+matt Rich I've been to both cities and I agree
The people are crazy and funny there as well. They've got good food. There was this old beat up place called 'Greens BBQ' had some of the best bbq I've ever had. Then Miley and Miley's had some good fried shrimp used to eat there all the time. The vibe there is something else. People are really interesting there.
God bless America 🇺🇸❤️❤️ God bless the United States Of America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 forever

I visited Detroit a couple of years ago. Stayed for a week. I actually thought it was pretty cool. Had a good time. I am a car fanatic. It is the place to be!

This video was obviously outside of peak time and events.This looks no different than downtown LA outside of peak hours and events. Like most downtown major US cities it isn't that busy when there's nothing going on. It's about the same amount of traffic and people walking around as his videos in Atlanta, Buffalo, San Antonio, Houston, ect.
No, I don't think so.
Looks like a Sunday early summer evening. A church service just got out over by Fox theater probably.
MegaMoose1989 according to a clock it was 720pm
Being in California, Los Angeles doesn't really have a very busy downtown. As I said earlier in another comment. Downtown San Francisco is truly pedestrian heavy. I live here so I know, even after peak hours, a lot of people tend to walk the downtown streets. Don't get me started on the horrible grid lock traffic.
So yeah obviously you never been to San Francisco, if you call what you see in this video "foot traffic" lol. Shit looks fucking dead. Foot traffic is when you cross the street and you bump shoulder to shoulder with people and go left to righty, (which is what happens here in San Francisco)
good driving ! havn't seen Detroit in along while.( Liked it a lot and this shows it off well )
American cities are so strange. Skyscrapers alongside empty streets with hardly any pedestrians. Almost post apocalyptic.
Cities in Europe and Asia, even much smaller towns , are all so vibrant and full of commotion.
True
If your a classic car person, how could you not love this town?....was and will forever be America's motor city.

Interesting tour and some wonderful bones. I'll make it down to Detroit from Toronto one of these days.
GoWestYoungMan im planning to do the same thing...
was this early ? or is it always empty like that? because it looks very empty city.
Looks nice to me! I would like to visit and watch my White Sox play the Tigers over there and party like a rock star from Chicago much love Detroit!
Many areas of Detroit's arterial network of roads have become so devoid of traffic that it is now a paradise for cyclists. Once a void opens up it will always be filled in one way or another.

Detroit is a beautiful grand city on the waterfront and just across from Canada (minutes across) via tunnel or bridge.
Wasn't NYC in major urban decay back in the 70s?
Julie Erin no
yes it was. There is still videos of NYC during the 70s and 80's. Some of the videos showed areas that were far worse than anything in Detroit.
Orlando Nunez Have you heard of the Bronx?

The Bronx do not represent the entire New York City metropolis area so don’t even try it.

Great video! Downtown Detroit seems gorgeous, reminding me of downtown Chicago. Just checking which building has that lion face? Looks amazing
You passed the college I go to.
Nice Video! Almost Identical To Minneapolis MN. In Looks, Feel, And People.
Detroit is so empty... What's wrong?🙁
Greetings from Germany btw, USA is beautiful.😊
It’s only the beginning.
It's early morning lmfao
@@Vampybattie shit is boring all the time
Bela cidade ... parabéns pelo vídeo ...
I wish I was born in America!! 😃
Glad to hear :)
Maybe one day you can see it
Why don't you move there? :-)
Me too, Germany is so boring.😒
From alabama i miss living in detroit😢😁😎
Это Детройт ? А где разруха и заколоченные окна в брошенный домах ? Такой красивый и чистый . Америка - ты прекрасна !
До центра города приятно. Красивая архитектура! Рекомендую посетить кому-либо, основываясь на одной только архитектуре. Спасибо за комментарий! :)
разрушенные дома за пределами центра,в спальных районах
А чем она прекрасна?
I wish I could read Russian.
Detroit doesn't look that bad to be honest. Looks really nice. 👌🏼Great video!
Thanks! I agree. I love the history. Where the automobile was born. I just watched a few minutes and will have to do another video soon!
@@jutahI can't wait to see the next video! 👍🏼
Where is Axel Foley?
bimbambula in LA
Lmao!
Detroit has the coolest city name and trust me it holds up. The music scene is very very there!!! I grew up south of Detroit and I went there often and the clubs.... I felt like I was always in a dream, it was always lit with music and dark with atmospheres, even the biggest clubs, I remember it was so big and dim, still busted a move. I think people have the wrong idea about Detroit. People don't mess with you unless you mess with them.
Looks like a huge beautiful City, but why so lonely, a City so big should have a crowdy streets and traffic jams, México City with 25 millions of People looks like a jungle of cars, train, buses, lot of buildings, but Detroit looks big, clean of People and cars
wow. I am surprised how much it changed compared to 20 years ago. Hope more people will move in.
I love usa
Downtown actually looks pretty modern and clean!
It is. The media just tells lies all the time to manipulate your thoughts.
One day i want to fly from Germany to Detroit Downtown to enjoy! maybe for one week is that right
I can tell ur like a Jew or sumtin

21:43 Seriously driving an Audi in Detroit??
@Lil_LyriX That was a reference to it being a fancy European luxury car in the American motor city...but I guess that works too haha
Ever since I watched robocop I wanted to go to Detroit (despite it not painting Detroit in the best of lights ) but some films do that. They might not be the best subject matter but they'll still make you want to go there... Like Edinburgh and trainspotting for instance. In fact, I went to a lot of the filming locations for trainspotting while I was in Edinburgh.
Thanks for these videos.

Where's the public transportation, the trains, busses and what runs along those tracks in the street? Where are the shops, stores even a 7 Eleven? Where is everybody?
You can clearly see shops and the streetcar is about to be operational.
inquizative44 you can clearly see the tracks for the streetcar line that will be operational by spring 2017
The people are dead daaaa.
there are no seven elevens here just in the suburbs there is an Amtrak and a train that is new and being put further under expansion , to correspond to the 367 million dollar arena being built , there are busses
Buses stop running after 7:00 pm they were still building the tracks for the rails you saw. During the week after 5:00 pm people usually go home. There are not a lot of franchises downtown. Honestly this video covered about 70% of downtown
