When you start with a city of about 1.8 million in 1950, and it shrinks to 600,000 by 2020, you've got a lot of redundant buildings on your hands. The evacuation of Detroit, ironically, was largely due to its main product: the automobile.
@@artaxerxes2363yeah, that happened after the big three abandoned US workers. What do you expect? Crime comes with poverty and when the biggest employers in the state abandon you, poverty and crime are right behind the corner.
@HammerStudioGames what does the big three have to do with the way detroit is. Don't blame them blame the people for not being educated enough to be able to move on to other jobs.Detroit was and still is a city full of lazy lowlife uneducated degenerates.
You don’t tear down houses in good neighborhoods or build houses in bad neighborhoods. There are no “opportunities” here. Those properties should be given away to people willing to build a house on the property.
@@artaxerxes2363 your response is shows that your a surface level thinker. You need to start thinking about the big picture. This is why your being phased out. Do better.
@@loupremo I never said the neighborhood was going to be worse by taring down abandoned/crack houses or anything about who voted for the bill. The video stated that there were opportunities for the neighbors/community to buy the properties. If there was an opportunity for an investment then contractors/potential buyers would be tearing down these houses to build their starter or dream home. The fact that the city is forced to tear down these homes says everything. Maybe one day there will be an opportunity but not today.
@@glitter_fart “bruh” the one thing your right about is that it is basic economics. The point your missing is that these properties will stay vacant no matter how you “feel”. Believe me, there are places where houses are being torn down and rebuilt and the city/people do not have to foot the bill. Don’t let your feelings get in the way of common sense.
The billions spent in Ukraine could have torn down the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 other abandoned structures in Detroit. So sad our own Gov't has sold out our country. When are we going to say enough is enough like in 1775!! USA USA USA!!!
I read in another article, it costs 16k per house to tear down, and it was funded like 265 million. Thats just crazy. That money could have been put into more bus routes, police, cameras to catch criminals. Its not fair for the folks who has to pay for it in taxes but their neigborhood doesnt have these houses, and it benefits the ones who have houses torn down in their neighborhood.
Believe it or not I lived in Detroit from 2014 to 2018 Tearing down homes was the biggest improvement at stopping crime. Criminals would run in and hide inside vacant homes
You can't have seen these properties in person. After a time, if a house isn't maintained, it falls apart. That's what's left that you're suggesting is possibly viable housing? I wouldn't put ANYONE in those wrecks. Your response although being snappy is actually quite crappy.
U kinda have a point. Bus these 1 million illegals into Detroit, and I bet they make something out of these houses. Gotta house them somewhere if the Dems won't turn them away at the border. Sure beats what they were living in before in their 3rd world country.
100 excavators and 3 dump trucks per house. these properties could be done in less than 1 year. then the properties could be given to a person who can prove they've worked 5+ years within the city districts and they can build moderate homes on the properties. but the city and it's sub contractors will milk this over 20 years. it's been a sh1thole for 50 years.
@joemoore5844 go look at before and after pictures of Hiroshima, then look at before and after Detroit in the past 50 years. The images speak for themselves. The people of Detroit failed. The city will never be great again. Just another ghetto 🙄

And why did the auto industry move. Trash corrupt unions and trash liberal DemocRats.
Uhh you forgot about the crime and lowlifes of the city destroying properties

this is NOT true! Real Detroiters voted for this proposal. And it is making neighborhoods BETTER.

Well you and your lowlife citizens created this mess. Buildings don't deteriorate on their own.
Believe it or not I lived in Detroit from 2014 to 2018

Now after tearing down whole neighborhoods they can maybe start building some homes for all these homeless people and low income people
How to help the homeless and poor population 101: Demolish perfectly good houses. 🤑

ONLY 3000,,,, GIVE ME A BREAK,,,, SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO 15000 STOP ACTING LIKE U DID SOMETHING,,,,
Right 3k is nothing!
They're moving slow asf . I won't give em credit until they rid this burnt up pos on my block
Just level the whole city and start over , Hiroshima is in better shape than Detroit and in was nuked....... decades of democrat control 🤷♂️
has nothing to do with democrats, should start by leveling yourself lmao
@marz_mitzi keep telling yourself that lol cope harder. The city failed , the people failed. It's a lost cause.
@@DemocratsrPDFfiles could it be that leadership starts at the top? Could it be that the system has been bankrupt since Jump?
