    It may shock people to realize that Detroit used to have an efficient public transportation system of buses, electric buses and electric trolleys up to 1959. The trolleys were taken off line and sold to Mexico City that year. The Trolley Buses were still in service until the late 1960s. You could go all over town on 25 cents with a 5 cent transfer that was good for two transfers. It wasn't until 1970, the year I graduated high school that the fare was raised five cents. Then something fell apart in the mid 1970s when I left for the Navy. The price of bus fares was increased to over $1.00 and the bus system started loosing money. It seems that the transportation system was at its most efficient under the DSR. All of this fell apart under the new Detroit Transportation Department. What is amazing is that all across the board there were efficient and success services in place that functioned for decades. But when they were taken over by a new generation that found it necessary to make radical changes, the results were failure.
    Do understand that viewing Detroit today is not what is was when it was a vital city. But realize what was and what worked in the past might be examples of what could and should be today. If we had it before, why CAN'T we have it now? There has to be a solution.

      it kinda blows the mind on how with all that they have that it isnt one of the best transit networks out there. What may need to happen is to dissolve the DDOT completely and replace it with a board that will do what the public needs. Myself having been in Downtown recently you've got no less than 3 different public transit lines servicing the downtown thats not including the people mover and the street cars. Compare that to Toronto.. similar size with similar systems the TTC works quite well. Maybe they should take from the ttc and apply some of the knowhow there.

    The actual city of Detroit (not including the metro area) would benefit so much from better public transportation. I'd love to make more trips downtown for restaurants or sports events but I don't feel super comfortable parking down there. But there are some great places to visit like the theatres, restaurants, etc. If I could hop on a train the metro area to downtown I'd love to do that.

    On the school issue, consider Detroit Promise- Detroit residents who graduate from a Detroit high school (can be public, private, or home school) are eligible for 4 years tuition free at any Michigan public university. Many Detroiters take advantage of this program and sending their kids to Michigan and Michigan State tuition free. Doesn’t fit the narrative of this video, so I guess that’s why it wasn’t mentioned.

    Never mind about Costco or Target, there are no major SUPERMARKETS in the city limits. Let's get down to brass tacks, Paul. The reason why is because of the high rate of retail shrinkage, a.k.a. THEFT. Detroit used to boast of MANY major department stores and chain supermarkets, dominated by Borman Foods whose premier stores were Wrigley's, Packer, and later Farmer Jack's as well as Kroger and A&P. None of those exist anymore. The Farmer Jack (formerly Wrigley) on Wyoming at Seven Mile is now a Rite Aid. People living on the northwest end of Detroit have to go to Ferndale or Royal Oak to shop at a real grocery store.
    Meijer's took a chance and built a store at Woodward and 8 Mile. They went to the effort to also build a mini Police Station there. If this is necessary, is it any wonder why major retailers do not want to locate in the city of Detroit? This will never be overcome until some serious attention is given to the social attitudes of the population as well as addressing the poverty issues and their causes. To be fair, the loss of manufacturing jobs contributed to the economic problem as well.
    One of the untold parts of the city's history is the 25 year turnover cycle that has continued to push the Blue Collar and Middle Class further north beginning with urban renewal and freeway projects that cleared old neighborhoods and forced the population from blighted areas further north. It is common knowledge that all major cities have their problem areas and the people who come out of that culture are products of their environments, unfortunately. (But there are countless stories of those coming from these conditions who rose above them and became productive citizens.)
    The other unfortunate issue is that urban renewal was never planned to improve the environment of that displaced population. It was a superfical action that ignored that detail and failed to address the needs of the displaced people. In some regards this was address in the construction of "Housing Projects." But this was not enough. What Urban Renewal was actually designed for was a means of bringing professionals into the city, many who worked downtown. This was the case of what happened with the famous "Black Bottom" section, and various "slums" around Hastings Street and other locations on the southeast side. The Lafayette Park development of the mid 1950s at Gratiot and Rivard is one such example.
    The unfortunate reality, and a sensitive, if not controversial truth is that much of the crime and social dysfunction associated with slums was moved further into the city, making residents uncomfortable. This was seen to threatened Property Values as the fear of or existence of crime entered the neighborhoods. Such things not only drove down property values, but increased insurance rates. These things were what motivated the push further north. Also, the new Expressways leading out of the city made this desirable.
    Much of what was referred to as "White Flight" was Racially based. The same issues that were a concern for White residents were shared by Working Class and Middle Class Black residents. When we moved to Northwest Detroit in 1965, we had a neighbor across the street who lamented, "I guess I haven't any place else to run." YES, he said that. Then in 1967 we had a so-called "Race Riot" that has complicated explanations as there is no single story that explains its motivation in spite of a recent movie. What is most apparent was that the day after the Riot started, on a Sunday, phones were ringing, calls coming from Real Estate agents pushing sales of new properties in Southfield under the scare tactic that property values were going to be affected due to the Riot. Right away, For Sale signs starting going up. And within three years, the population in Northwest Detroit moved to new homes in Southfield. I am sure that the population records between 1967 and 1972 will reflect this tremendous increase, much of which I witnessed, as I saw neighbors and friends follow this exodus. This is what the social circle that I was part of witnessed. And the rest, as they say, "is history."

    As a new Farmington Hills resident who is born, raised and was from Detroit I love the comeback in some neighborhoods it looks beautiful and now well put together I was amazed when driving down 6 Mile from Livernois to Wyoming but there are some things that needs to be fixed. I say find a very nice neighborhood that is comfortable and nice. However I don’t like the income tax if you work outside the city and car insurance it’s wild as hell. And that’s why I moved to Oakland County and bought a condo. I still love Detroit but living there no way Jose!

    Let’s add in crime no one having car insurance the cluster of the illtich family taking grants for projects then doin nothing w properties They scooped up for cheap.
    So here’s a the big complaint when the Super Bowl came a few years ago. No nice bars or restaurants The casinos are lame and your prob gonna get robbed at one no nice night clubs or strip clubs
