I last visited Detroit back in 1999 to attend a family member's funeral. The city has collapsed even further. I can't talk to much I'm originally from Baltimore. 🇺🇸✌🙁 Baltimore is the Heroine Capital💉💊. My dad is an addict. I studied and got the hell out. Waited to have kids until I was married and had a stable job. 🏡
The only solution is a mega heavy migration of Americans numbering in the 500,000 range. From all corners of the country to lend a hand. Get them back on there feet. Cause they have given up.it looks.
ray bon honestly the city needs to be made smaller. People dont' move to cities with little jobs. The rust belt population has been declining. People want to live in warmer weather and will more jobs so they move down South. Furthermore, people don't move in droves to an area with bad schools. You would have to be attractive to industries for new jobs and I don't see that happening. I think Detroit will be largely unoccupied. Its sad but its the truth.
there's no arguing the warmer weather.but 5year rental restrictions. Would be tough to pass up no matter what the weather. No without a base its hard. You nerd 10 or 15 5000 employees size, companies to move there. Then it can get going.
I grew up in Detroit in the 50s , 60s and 70s . Never joined gangs , no purse - snatching ,no house - burning, ,no drug selling . I am sure I am one of the monsters that people speak of though . I went to a trade school there in the 70s got a job and got laid off . I time in the corps and retired .I did more govt time with city govt in another state and retired again .Getting ready more activity . I am giving credit to growing up in a place like Detroit . Because people can get depressed and do drugs and jump off bridges or whatever or take the stress and convert to a good flow of energy . Always different ways to handle a situation rather than blame people .That place put a fire under me that won't die out and I credit growing up there . I thank Detroit for the fuel !
"Some of the jobs went to Canada" - nope. NAFTA wiped out manufacturing in both Countries and there is as far as I know only one GM plant left in Canada.
White people are to blame. Poor black people were banned from the suburbs and forced to move to the city which at the time was more expensive, making it almost impossible to afford living, then they raised the rent, cost of living etc. So what anybody starving, with children, making less then $5 an hour would do is turn to robbing people for money to afford diapers for their kids. So White people are to blame for alot of what the city has become. This is a common denominator in alot of dangerous places because white people forced minorities into the spot they're in. And now ignorant White people that want to defend the actions of their people say stupid shit like what you guys have on the internet instead of accepting the facts.
@@MegaBajojo this has got to be the stupidest wall of text ever written. "Black people were banned from the suburbs and forced to live in the more expensive cities". Holy fuck the logic here is missing. How about you just stop making blantently ridiculous Alex Jones level conspiracies for people robbing others and have them take responsibility for their own actions? It's always someone else's fault when it comes to black people huh?
Your ignorance is astounding. Detroit has swallowed billions of $$. You should see what the students of Detroit did to their schools and books after millions was spent renovating it.
Honestly at this point it is time to govern for ourselves and be able to defend. The government is now taking advantage of people who are unaware or ignorant
You understand state governments exist. Detroit is on the state government, not the federal. Detroit isn't going to fix itself, it's going to become fully abandoned.
This comment was 2 yrs ago, yet its relevant to Biden recently chucking 250 Grand to the Ukraine. We all know it’s over the gas ported from there. The U.S isn’t nothing but a greedy hand full of money that is too stingy to the people that help hold it together. Welcome to America.
To all the people who say Detroit's demise was due to the auto manufacturers closings. They are booming in South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, ect. You can fill in the blanks.
alonzo476 last time I checked..Southern states are the poorest in America’s and their #1 industry wasn’t automobiles..so of course they wouldn’t be affected
Just because the automotive industries are booming in the South and other states doesn't mean they're the reason for Detroit's demise. The automotive industries were Michigan's #1 money makers, and as soon as they left, the entirety of Detroit started to fall apart. It would be like taking away agriculture from the South. In the South, and in many other states, however, automotive industries aren't #1, even though they're booming and doing very well. So when your #1 leaves you, the only thing you could do is watch everything fall apart. Besides, southern states are still poor. compared to others.
Yeah, I know. It does not explain the exact same sorry conditions in places like Baltimore, St. Louis, Newark, Camden, Memphis, New Orleans, and on and on.
Terrible city. I worked in Michigan for a year doing consulting work, had to go into Detroit once in a while. My rental car was stolen, I came close to being mugged, I ended up packing a gun. What's bizarre is if you go out of the city a few miles, you're in nice suburbs. bizarre. I was so happy when I caught my last flight out of that sewer.
@@jojokintel not to even mention the reason they were brought here in the first place. To be tortured and treated as if they are less than human. Its fucked up & inhumane.
@@jojokintel sending them back back to africa is like sending back the whites to europe you all came at the same momment and also they came as as slaves they did not even want to go to america it's the fault of the whites
I can see it too what it onces was...and i never have seen both sites of it in reallife. Iam german and i feel sorry for the people there and for the city. This looks so sad
Angel Brown Bullshit! I've been to fancy restaurants in Detroit that are full of whites. When I go to soccer games, almost everyone is white. There are white hipster types in Detroit, especially when it comes to jobs that require intelligence.
Laurence Hyde It was far safer before, incomparably so. What would you expect? You think Detroit currently has no corruption, now that it looks like Mogadishu?
I'm an American and as a child I always told my dad that I "wanted to see where the Corvettes are built". Now Detroit is nothing. A shell of a city. I hope they can bring Motor City back.
That one guy absolutely NAILED it when he mentioned unions. “They fought so hard and so good for the people, that the company’s couldn’t afford to pay the workers”.
No the company’s could pay union workers a living wage. The company didn’t want too as the company made less money. So they ruined the lives of thousands just so they could get some extra cash. Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Germany. All have really strong unions in there society. And yet they don’t face the same problem as the USA rather they face the exact opposite. So you can’t say unions are the problem when it’s the fat cat companies. And as this isn’t a problem which happens around the world in union heavy societies
@@jamescoulson7729 was about to say: in my hometown in the Netherlands there's a successful plant that produces trucks. With local workers and higher minimum wages than in the US. It's not the unions, it's corporate greed.
@@Bist040 that’s because the companies can afford it. Only massive companies can employ large amounts of workers with high minimum wages. Which is why Amazon is pushing for higher lower wages. To squash competition and bankrupt other companies.
@@EdhellenCuar not only are you misreading the statement and misunderstanding the point, but you you’re self should take your own advice as your statement is false.
I drive through inner city neighborhoods (here in Dothan, Al), and the trash in the yards, on the side of the road and in the road is telling me that these black neighborhood people, do not care about their surroundings. Not all, for the haters.
Danny Thompson, i know. I actually saw a man throw a bag of trash out his car next to a KFC establishment. I did'nt say anything but i was enraged. For them to throw down trash like that,(and i've seen it numerous times,) makes me want to puke.
I lived there all my life 30years and it all started with the bussing and then the thugs , drugs and killing started !!! I drove thu there not long ago I wanted to puke thank you thugs for fing up a blue coller georgeous neighborhood for your drugs burnt out houses and killings and rapes !!! It makes me sick that all the old timers lost there homes jobs etc because of low life rug rats !!!
@@willpaton5827 Absolutely. Another white guy who lived in Detroit 30 years, VERY RECENTLY, and moved out. Complete shock how nice shit could be in an EQUALLY economic neighborhood. Everyone who says any differently than the truth are stuck in there as bitches, or never experienced the lack of community. Regardless of the globalist effects.
Here's Detroit's problem. Welfare leads to fatherless homes, which leads to more dependence on welfare and government. No ownership of property which leads to the abysmal conditions and the cycle never ends and a new generation brings more crime and neglect. There you are.
Welfare lead to fatherless homes because the government purposely put into the law that Black women. couldn't get help if a man was in the house but at the same time deny BM work. Government has caused fatherless homes locking all the BM up. But y'all think a man has to live with the mother and child. That's that propaganda. Detroit was ranked #1 or close to it in home ownership until the banks, mortgage companies (white ppl) targeted Black communities with their foreclosure scam. Destroying the market and ownership therefore neighborhoods. Crime is a symptom of a problem. Education State of Michigan destroyed Detroit public schools and the ruled in court that Detroit's children don't have a constitional right to learn how to read and write. No jobs not even summer programs. Poisoning of food and water disabling ppl. Defunding of Public services and programs. Corporatiobs stole community tax dollars are built private institutions and refuse to give the community anything or hire Detroiters. Racist policing, laws, practices, making young ppl felons and unable to work. Redlined jobs, business, income, training, auto insurance opportunities. Alcohol Board of Commission allows a 2 liquor stores on every block. Etc. And every time you open a book, cut on the TV, get on the internet, see a movie, listen to radio, ppl are saying and doing things to let you know that they wished you were dead. Everytime you they turn around there is a non Black person, a 100 non Black ppl, thousands of non Black ppl, millions telling you how disgusting, stupid, weak, dirty, useless you are. What did you think they would behave like. White ppl are ridiculous.
It went downhill at least 5 years prior to that. Remember the riots of 67? Before that Jerome Cavanagh became mayor in 62. That democrat could care less about the city. It transformed under his leadership. Taxes went up so high, people and business moved out. Stupid killed that city.
@@cashstore1 And the demand and technology improvements of the smaller vehicles especially foreign autos blew the big boat car demand out of the water. The unions choked industry all along the way. The manufacturing unions are partially to blame for this. Don't let anyone tell you they didn't have a heavy hand in this.
@@dontswin I agree. The union workers were over paid. I knew a guy working for GM who did not know how to read. He was making a lot of money. I did not fault him, but the idea of a person picking up a piece of metal and screwing it on a car, then making as much as a person with a college degree did not set well with me.

@@hdhnfjd agreed, but it was our honoring the God of the Bible that was the true source of the true greatness. Adolf seems to have been of the serpent line that should have won the war, had he not held back the army at dunkirk. I was in Germany in the 70's and it was flooded with Turks then.
@@hdhnfjd you shall find virtually all we have been taught in churches is basically a lie. Germany fulfills the prophecies of Judah, which is why the enemy wanted to destroy them.

Revelation 3:9 “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.” they murdered the old believers in eastern Europe under the banner of communism.

Thank you for making this film.. Most of my life has been spent in Wayne County, Detroit.. As a multimedia artist i have been documenting, photo, video, painting and exploring the entire area and found out a lot.. Held back by many, even artists here they sell out first chance they get to ugly powers that control.. massive controls at play here in the wasteland.. Much corruption.. My first film about Detroit and metro Detroit is Autumn's Atonement from 1992 and also includes the Michigan Avenue Church sign you filmed.. So far it has been blocked on youtube due to music i used, it is also a prolonged music video taking the view of Doestovesky that the landscape reflects the soul of the times and people.. also began taking care of a 100yr old building on the Detroit/Hamtramck border in 2009 during the heart of the depression.. Several film makers from out of state and country have approached and worked w me over the years like Mark Tierney, Michael Merto, Nutopia films in London.. They all sold out, none of them dealt with the issues i tried to present nor did they explore them... Great work with your film!
It'll cost up in the hundreds of billions and take years to take down all the decayed abandoned homes and businesss and replacing them all with new and up to date buildings. Detroit will never be it once was after decades of destructive political policies, outsourcing and foreign competition.
Idiot Detroit was an industrial town they didn’t riot in the factories stupid stupid stupid stupid. Detroit’s decline started 20 years prior to the riots anyways stupid FUCK
Glad to see Detroit making an amazing come back even 10 years after this video. These comments are very discouraging but someone who has lived here my whole life, Detroit has culture and community like no other place. There are many positive things about the city. Crime still happens as a result of some poverty and generational trauma but most big cities have gotten worse with crime and Detroit has not. Downtown is booming and I hope the rest of the city can get some of that tax money that it deserves ❣️
Same black ppl were there when it was the industrial horse of America. Same with Cleveland Columbus St Louis. You can’t pick and chose when to diss black ppl they built those industrial cities after the great migration.
@It’s ya boy benin the great mali, timbuktu, togo the great egypt nubia ashanti greater zibabwe safe to say black people did build africa before it was plundered. if youre ignorant just say that
I've always wanted to go visit Detroit in Michigan. I think despite everything else, it's a really interesting city and all those abandoned houses make it a different experience by itself. Then you can go to the city's center and enjoy the wealthiest parts.
@@jamesvw769 Or more like polishing a diamond that got coated with dirt, but if you take away the dirt, it's a nice shiny diamond. That's what Detroit is.
Blacks were not allowed to move to the suburbs: I am old enough to know that is not true. Blacks just did not have the money. Detroit at that time had no racial land discrimination in the suburbs. There were blacks in the suburbs just not many.

As a Detroiter (since 2009), I have watched as Detroit has grown. This video is very very out of date and about 90% of the locations and shots in this video are now renovated and busy. It has really made a turn. There is a lot to do still in the neighborhoods, but some of them are even coming back. Its really incredible what Detroit and Dan Gilbert has done
A new 60 story mixed use skyscraper is under construction on the Hudson's site on Woodward Avenue. A new light rail line proudly travels along Woodward Avenue. The Red Wings new arena is major hit for midtown Detroit. All of the once vacant historic skyscrapers have been restored and are mixed use buildings. Detroit is coming back slowly but surely.
@Bill Williams all these sunbelt lovers are going to be very envious of Detroit and other older northern US cities when our revitalization is in full steam and population levels start increasing. Lets face facts cities like Detroit, Cincinnati, Buffalo, etc all have history and character along with a more ample supply of fresh water on their side. Plus many people prefer a diverse four season climate to just heat and humidity all the time. They are badmouthing all of us but deep down the sunbelt states know that their fun in the sun is going to end in the not too distant future. Detroit, Cincinnati, Buffalo and other older northern US cities on coming back and there is no stopping it which makes me happy.
It's amazing how far theyve come back today. 8 years later, Detroit is a much nicer city. We go for football and Woodward all the time and it's really improved since 2010.
Detroit had very aggressive school integration plans. Busing was used extensively and Whites resisted but also moved out in droves. The resent of busing was so intense that some buses in Pontiac area were bombed. Another factor was a series of Black riots. The 1967 riot was so bad the police and National guard were insufficient and both the 82 and 101st Army Airborne divisions had to be sent in. The riot was because the police closed an unlicensed bar. The riot destroyed much of the city. During the 1970s another huge riot broke out when a white bartender accosted 3 Black youths breaking into his car. He claimed that he fired on them when they advanced on him. The Blacks rioted. Additional riots ensued during the 1980s and 1990s following sports victories The riots and the forced busing led to an almost complete abandonment of Detroit by Whites. The city came to be a city of. Blacks ruled by Blacks. It almost disintegrated and is bankrupt dependent on state and federal bailouts.
Thank these extreme liberal federal judges for ordering integration of Detroit public schools. If they would have left things alone Detroit wouldnt have fallen as disastrously as it did during the 70s. But these do gooder federal judges listening and pandering to these minority cry babies are the final nail in Detroit's coffin.
How is that possible when the Democrats have been in control on that place for decades? Name ONE majority Republican run city that is in such a condition as Detroit.
the big 3 auto makers did not adjust to soaring gas prices and cheaper less gas guzzling cars from japan. as revenues declined, unions refused to adjust. when losing money, first thing companies do is slash labor and/or look for cheaper labor elsewhere, so once the jobs left, the core of detroit was gutted, and beginning of the decline. with no jobs or money, crime started, people moved to the burbs. now it's just a hollow shell, and it's a damn shame. no quick or easy fixes on this
It would take commitment from everyone . From top management on down - take pay cuts . Less money - harder work . Keep it low until things pick up . I live in South West it was done it worked .If it can be done here - can be done there .Things out here are a lot more expensive - especially realestate . People out here being chocked on 10 - 11 dollars hourly . People need to reduce there greed .
I wonder how much money the GM upper management makes? That headquarters building doesn’t look cheap too. To be honest, all of this is about paying your workers as little as possible. That’s why factories were outsourced to the third world.
The car companies outsourced because it became too expensive to build cars in the US. Thanks to the Unions, they kept wanting more and more. They were never satisfied. I don't remember the year ,but I saw a chart showing that the labor cost to build a car in the US was $8,000, vs. $3000 abroad. The only was to be competitive with Japan and other foreign car makers was to go overseas, or to Mexico.
Q. Why doesn't someone buy up the abandoned plants and put them to use? A. They are thoroughly obsolete in terms of present day technology. Q. Why doesn't someone build new plants? A. Because most Detroiters are too poorly educated to contribute to modern manufacturing methods. Q. Why don't the unemployed leave Detroit for greener pastures? A. Because they rightly predict that they are pretty much unemployable anywhere in the USA. Since 1950, the population of Detroit has declined by 1.2M or 65%. Almost no one remaining in Detroit has something to contribute to manufacturing. Note that there is plenty of manufacturing still going on in the suburbs, starting with Ford in Dearborn. This video gives no hint of the prosperity and diversity of the Detroit suburbs, and of the strength of Ford. It also gives no hint that there are other Rust Belt disasters: Baltimore MD, Flint MI, Buffalo NY, Cleveland OH, Youngstown OH, Gary IN, East St. Louis, Camden NJ.
Agreed. Last I heard, about 50% of the detroit population is functionally illiterate. Guess you didn't need to bother with all that learning when you could support a family with full benefits off turning lug nuts all day. Times change and we need to change with it. Unfortunately many do not. This is a global problem. We're all headed for disaster really.
Johnny Blaze Thanks to YT videos, I have learned that starting in the 1960s, there was a lot of drug use and trading on Michigan assembly lines. This surely adversely impacted product quality. Also, a rising proportion of assembly line workers were functionally illiterate, and clueless about basic science and technology. More threat to product quality. They were not at all worth the high pay and benefits the UAW had negotiated.
Diversity is a ticking time bomb. Once the culture of hate moves in the people who support the infrastructure move out. It's delusional to think otherwise.
Gregory Clark of UC Davis wrote in "Farewell To Alms" that First World nations will simply have to accept that about 15% of their adults will be supported by the public purse, because they lack the cognitive skills needed to hold a full time steady job in the 21st century, one paying health and retirement benefits. Detroit is a city where the 15% has grown to 70%.
I went to a Tragically Hip concert in Dearborn, MI 18 years back. Traveling through that state and city was unreal. I had no idea, nor do I think most of the world realizes how bad it really is. It just oozes hopelessness, fear and decay. 3rd world countries would be a step up to some of the neighbourhoods we drove through. I just can't believe how thoroughly broken it is. A perfect example of what can happen when corporate and government greed combine powers to destroy massive cities. It could happen anywhere.
Haiti is a terrible example. Read up on ya history bub. Haiti is an example of when one rapes a country of its resources until it virtually has nothing and then "gives it back" but says you still got to pay us in taxes. Basically a property tax. Then you have the Dominican Republic on the same exact island that's only a few handouts away from being like Haiti refusing to help uplift their neighbor.
plus Haiti's founders murdered the colonists who created the country. I'm all for punishing people who abuse others' human rights, but it's stupid to flat-out kill everyone who founded a colony - you lose their knowledge about how to build and maintain a functioning society.
As one born and raised in Detroit, it wasn't just the unions, but the working class in general. You can pay your workers and make money for the investors but when you get to the point that the scale gets unbalanced, something HAS to give to rebalance them, and no one was willing to give and therein was the problem, greed or living beyond your means led to the company doing what they had to to remain viable. Simple as that.
Being from the state downtown Detroit is absolutely beautifully, and the people are great and very friendly but like any city the outskirts are dangerous and rittled with gangs and violence.
The city of the walking dead, welcome to Motown.That city have memories and it's a ghost town now with no work for people to live.Only in America and this is sad.
I wish I can remember the politician's name but it was 50 years ago and I was 10. A democrat was on the TV and he said "We are going to do for Detroit what we want to do for the whole country" I was 10 and eager with anticipation and we all know how that turned out but it was one of the few times a democrat actually told the truth
This has nothing to do with the democrats you dumb brainwashed fuck. Corporate greed was the problem. Corporations that have more money than they can handle, easily enough to pay livable wages and still make ludicrous amounts of money, refuse to even do that, and cheap out on labor instead thus going elsewhere. And you know who gets down on their knees to suck corporations off? Republicans. They'll take your money, give it to billionaires while telling you everythings fine. You're being conned and you're too fucking dumb to realize it.
I can understand gangs wanting to be tough and make money in criminal ways but to kill homeless people for initiation is just ridiculously and unnecessarily cruel. True evil.
? There are hole ghost towns around the world. If you only propaganda job for living but never ever do any living. And it was political and military play.
Every major city in the east coast & Midwest has declined. Most cities up north are or were one dimensional production & industrial cities. You move jobs out these cities for cheaper pay this is what going to happen. Its neither blacks or whites fault. Through out history Detroit has had a crime problem. I mean one of the most notorious original gangs were from Detroit the Purple gang they even worked for Al'capone. So lets not act like blacks turned Detroit to a war zone. Because Detroit was never perfect from the beginning. I mean seriously Detroit had one of the worst race riots in American history over false roomers. Detroit has always had corrupted politic leaders. Shit until the 70s Detroit has always been divided as well. No unity, no jobs, politic leaders who don't give 2 shits bout the city and this what you get. Welcome to Detroit. It sucks to because Detroit really isn't as bad as the media makes it seems. Detroit during thanksgiving-New years is awesome specially if your a football or hockey fan. Detroit celebrates its new years with Canada. If you love cars right now is the time to be in Detroit for the car show. Detroiters are prideful people and tough. If your not from here don't judge the city. I've in Orlando Florida which I loved an now im Living in Houston Texas and ill tell you now neither cities are as live as Detroit regardless of its population change. I miss this place so much.
Seeing so many broken dreams and so much despair breaks my heart. I got depressed watching this, I can only imagine the level of depression those who've been effected by what's happened there have gone through. Thank corporate greed for fucking over your workers in favor of your bottom line you cheap bastards.
The population of the City of Detroit fell from 1.8 million in 1950 to 673,000 in 2017. The population of the Detroit metropolitan area rose from 3 million in 1950 to 6 million in 2017. While the city collapsed and turned into a "failed state", the broader metro area has thrived and its economy has boomed. The focus is always on the city, though. If globalization destroyed the city, then it should have destroyed the metro area as well - but it didn't. The reasons why the city failed and the suburbs didn't are straightforward, but uncomfortable for documentary narrators and other analysts on the left, and they always avoid coming to grips with them and stick to the narratives that make them feel morally comfortable. If you want to watch good documentaries on Detroit, see the ones by Al Profit. Much, much better than this shallow rag. Al doesn't fully come to grips with the consequences of Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick. But he is honest about a lot of things, and he really does his homework.
Shareholders demanded outsourcing, conservative management did so and reduced quality for added effect. Can't blame that on blacks or unions. After generations of segregation and denial of quality education, you can't expect a rapid turn around and just say "ok you're free" when they wake up abandoned, in a ghetto.
1:14 poor guy. Probably one of the only things left that gives him a sense of well being, even it be for a few mins. Seen it time and time again over the last 30 yrs or so. Sad
Redlining I know you’ve heard of it. It was a real thing that really happened no matter how hard your white guilt tries to cover it up with your stupid fucking “work hard” politics
That Motor City Casino use to be a wonder bread factory back in the day. It was abandoned and now it’s beautifully restored. Maybe they will restore the old train station into apartments or a hotel etc.
Oh yeah it has nothing to do with corruption or the courts abusing their power to fleece the locals in ticket schemes or reapprorsting tax revenue to the suburbs or even globalisiation? But nah everyonell keep up with the whole it's black people nonsense
@MrKalashnik0va Nope. According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office Autopsy Report, the Toxicology section states: Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens: 1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL 2. Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL 3. 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL 4. Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL 5. 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL; Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL 6. Cotinine positive 7. Caffeine positive 11mg is a lethal dose. The 4 or 5 of norfentanyl is the metabolite, meaning he'd already burnt through some of it. Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restrain, and neck compression.” The full autopsy report states further that “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” Also, the FBI is compromised. KKK in the police? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Do you have any evidence that Chauvin is an actual white supremacist? If you watched the bodycam footage, he tried being cooperative with Floyd.
@MrKalashnik0va You're right that it was 11 nanograms and not milograms, but the dude was swimming in drugs and had multiple preexisting conditions. 11 ng/mL is proof enough that he was on all sorts. Such levels don't spontaneously appear in the blood. Also, forget about the whole police infiltration thing. We're talking about George Floyd here. We're also talking about the four officers involved, who if I remember correctly do not call themselves white supremacists. Floyd was resisting arrest for like 10 minutes before the neck shit happened. He wanted to go on the ground, and the officers had no idea he was on drugs. They simply followed procedure. What, are they supposed to just let a man acting erratically roam free with no restraints? Don't believe me? Take a look here: spectator.org/george-floyd-police-training-minneapolis.

You have spent a 90% of your time and nine demonstrating that Detroit has a problem. You have failed to delineate "How Detroit Became America's Warzone". I wanted to understand the process by which a once great city was destroyed, I wanted to understand who is responsible and why. In addition to negative criticism and explaining who is at fault, I would be interested in positive criticism explaining how to avoid this IN other cities across our nation.I don't know what the purpose of this video was, but you have totally failed to meet my expectations based on your title.
I'm a white guy that works on the East side of Detroit. Have a close friend that lives off of Moross. Be respectful and you won't have a problem. Come to Detroit like an arrogant asshole and they boys won't be so accommodating.
Christopher Salsbury exactly bro, what I be trying to tell people, people don’t kill people here unless they really gotta reason it’s not just like random people
Boy you must be delusional buddy Chicago has over 3 million people now and most of the people that live out here have money including myself. most homes out here cost between 600,000 and up on the north side. you gotta have money to live in Chicago trust me.
nick w Then look up the ratings of Chicago, and the huge shortfall of unfunded liabilities. You'll be surprised. When the hammer comes down on you within a few months just remember I told you so.
terrafirma91 We All been waiting for The Apocalypse that The Christians claiming for years and nothing. So maybe what you are thinking may be just a fantasy.
I keep hearing that the city wants to tear down all the vacant buildings and tear up the streets and make it all farm land. But they don't want to pay the cost of tearing the buildings down. Then you are going to always have the eyesores with you for people to laugh at you. Giving people a plot of land to farm doesn't work either. They tried that in Zimbabway and no one would plant crops.
@@BeepBoop173 your dumb, if you don’t like what the company is doing then boycott it and start your own business. That’s the part what people don’t think about is starting their own and see how it works out for you. Maybe you should see why they pay you less probably because of the laws. Restrictions and tax money
That's why being paid less than what you need to live is illegal in my country. During the aftermath of the 1. WW companies used to make "auctions" for jobs. There was one job avaivable for about 20 unemployed people, so the general procedure was to let the candidates bid for what wage they would do that kind of work. The guy who wanted to do it for the least amount of wage got the job. Unemployment rates were so high that people had pretty much the same mentality like your dad. They had to work 80 hours a week for half a loaf of bread as a payment, but at least they got something at all. The problem with this is that if people have no money, they can't spend it on anything, which means that other companies relying on that spending capacity will die as well, which in turn means that those people working there lose their jobs and join the crowd of people with no money, which again means that more companies have to end their business. It's an endless downwards spiral and the nation itself suffers from the decreasing number of companies and employees that are actually paying taxes, and less taxes mean less development. That's why this form of hardcore capitalism is just poison for a community. It's insane that the U.S. still let that happen. In my country the poorest people are more like lower middle class in America.
Im mayor in orange city Florida...i passed new legislation for white only water fountains and white only swimming pools...things are working very well here...i welcome all ethnicities to visit my beautiful city but you have to leave city limits before dark and you cant return until sunrise.
As someone from Detroit and used to frequent Windsor quite a bit, I can assure you our neighbors to the North don't want it. BTW Canada, thank you for poutine. Best damn after the bar food you can get. I miss getting that stuff from street vendors in Windsor.
But that would cost money.....everything revolves around money right? Who is gonna invest in tearing something down? Nobody cares now, it's too black to. Be worth it, people are right, black people are destructive, and do not step up when they need to. Black music has brainwashed the people
It was my hope to be able to tell my grandkids of my life story and the times growing up in Detroit. Now in my 70's will also be just like Detroit a figment in a memory. Its sadd to see the way it looks. And saddens me even more to see the ones still there, and have to indure. My prayers are with you all. 😢
I last visited Detroit back in 1999 to attend a family member's funeral. The city has collapsed even further. I can't talk to much I'm originally from Baltimore. 🇺🇸✌🙁 Baltimore is the Heroine Capital💉💊. My dad is an addict. I studied and got the hell out. Waited to have kids until I was married and had a stable job. 🏡
The only solution is a mega heavy migration of Americans numbering in the 500,000 range. From all corners of the country to lend a hand. Get them back on there feet. Cause they have given up.it looks.
ray bon
honestly the city needs to be made smaller. People dont' move to cities with little jobs. The rust belt population has been declining. People want to live in warmer weather and will more jobs so they move down South. Furthermore, people don't move in droves to an area with bad schools.
You would have to be attractive to industries for new jobs and I don't see that happening. I think Detroit will be largely unoccupied.
Its sad but its the truth.
there's no arguing the warmer weather.but 5year rental restrictions. Would be tough to pass up no matter what the weather. No without a base its hard. You nerd 10 or 15 5000 employees size, companies to move there. Then it can get going.

Detroit: where the only thing growing is the crime rate.
I grew up in Detroit in the 50s , 60s and 70s . Never joined gangs , no purse - snatching ,no house - burning, ,no drug selling . I am sure I am one of the monsters that people speak of though . I went to a trade school there in the 70s got a job and got laid off . I time in the corps and retired .I did more govt time with city govt in another state and retired again .Getting ready more activity . I am giving credit to growing up in a place like Detroit . Because people can get depressed and do drugs and jump off bridges or whatever or take the stress and convert to a good flow of energy . Always different ways to handle a situation rather than blame people .That place put a fire under me that won't die out and I credit growing up there . I thank Detroit for the fuel !

Anyone else notice a common denominator in all these dangerous places? But we cant talk about that can we?
You mean poverty?
White people are to blame. Poor black people were banned from the suburbs and forced to move to the city which at the time was more expensive, making it almost impossible to afford living, then they raised the rent, cost of living etc. So what anybody starving, with children, making less then $5 an hour would do is turn to robbing people for money to afford diapers for their kids. So White people are to blame for alot of what the city has become. This is a common denominator in alot of dangerous places because white people forced minorities into the spot they're in. And now ignorant White people that want to defend the actions of their people say stupid shit like what you guys have on the internet instead of accepting the facts.
@@MegaBajojo this has got to be the stupidest wall of text ever written. "Black people were banned from the suburbs and forced to live in the more expensive cities".

You understand state governments exist. Detroit is on the state government, not the federal. Detroit isn't going to fix itself, it's going to become fully abandoned.
This comment was 2 yrs ago, yet its relevant to Biden recently chucking 250 Grand to the Ukraine. We all know it’s over the gas ported from there. The U.S isn’t nothing but a greedy hand full of money that is too stingy to the people that help hold it together. Welcome to America.
To all the people who say Detroit's demise was due to the auto manufacturers closings. They are booming in South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, ect. You can fill in the blanks.
alonzo476 last time I checked..Southern states are the poorest in America’s and their #1 industry wasn’t automobiles..so of course they wouldn’t be affected
Just because the automotive industries are booming in the South and other states doesn't mean they're the reason for Detroit's demise. The automotive industries were Michigan's #1 money makers, and as soon as they left, the entirety of Detroit started to fall apart. It would be like taking away agriculture from the South. In the South, and in many other states, however, automotive industries aren't #1, even though they're booming and doing very well. So when your #1 leaves you, the only thing you could do is watch everything fall apart. Besides, southern states are still poor. compared to others.
Low wage Southern states that want to compete with Mex
foreign manufacturing
Yeah, I know. It does not explain the exact same sorry conditions in places like Baltimore, St. Louis, Newark, Camden, Memphis, New Orleans, and on and on.
Terrible city. I worked in Michigan for a year doing consulting work, had to go into Detroit once in a while. My rental car was stolen, I came close to being mugged, I ended up packing a gun.

That one guy absolutely NAILED it when he mentioned unions. “They fought so hard and so good for the people, that the company’s couldn’t afford to pay the workers”.
No the company’s could pay union workers a living wage. The company didn’t want too as the company made less money. So they ruined the lives of thousands just so they could get some extra cash. Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Germany. All have really strong unions in there society. And yet they don’t face the same problem as the USA rather they face the exact opposite. So you can’t say unions are the problem when it’s the fat cat companies. And as this isn’t a problem which happens around the world in union heavy societies

Here's Detroit's problem. Welfare leads to fatherless homes, which leads to more dependence on welfare and government. No ownership of property which leads to the abysmal conditions and the cycle never ends and a new generation brings more crime and neglect. There you are.
That's one facet of the jewel we call The Problem, probably a very big facet, but its more than that. Think bigger.
The denial and arrogance of whiteness. wtf is this nonsense.
Welfare lead to fatherless homes because the government purposely put into the law that Black women. couldn't get help if a man was in the house but at the same time deny BM work. Government has caused fatherless homes locking all the BM up. But y'all think a man has to live with the mother and child. That's that propaganda. Detroit was ranked #1 or close to it in home ownership until the banks, mortgage companies (white ppl) targeted Black communities with their foreclosure scam. Destroying the market and ownership therefore neighborhoods. Crime is a symptom of a problem. Education State of Michigan destroyed Detroit public schools and the ruled in court that Detroit's children don't have a constitional right to learn how to read and write. No jobs not even summer programs. Poisoning of food and water disabling ppl. Defunding of Public services and programs. Corporatiobs stole community tax dollars are built private institutions and refuse to give the community anything or hire Detroiters. Racist policing, laws, practices, making young ppl felons and unable to work. Redlined jobs, business, income, training, auto insurance opportunities. Alcohol Board of Commission allows a 2 liquor stores on every block. Etc. And every time you open a book, cut on the TV, get on the internet, see a movie, listen to radio, ppl are saying and doing things to let you know that they wished you were dead. Everytime you they turn around there is a non Black person, a 100 non Black ppl, thousands of non Black ppl, millions telling you how disgusting, stupid, weak, dirty, useless you are. What did you think they would behave like. White ppl are ridiculous.
Uh, all this "ammo" at your disposal and you still manage to skip over quite a few alternative facts...

My first film about Detroit and metro Detroit is Autumn's Atonement from 1992 and also includes the Michigan Avenue Church sign you filmed.. So far it has been blocked on youtube due to music i used, it is also a prolonged music video taking the view of Doestovesky that the landscape reflects the soul of the times and people.. also began taking care of a 100yr old building on the Detroit/Hamtramck border in 2009 during the heart of the depression.. Several film makers from out of state and country have approached and worked w me over the years like Mark Tierney, Michael Merto, Nutopia films in London.. They all sold out, none of them dealt with the issues i tried to present nor did they explore them... Great work with your film!

The Red Wings new arena is major hit for midtown Detroit. All of the once vacant historic skyscrapers have been restored and are mixed use buildings. Detroit is coming back slowly but surely.
@Bill Williams all these sunbelt lovers are going to be very envious of Detroit and other older northern US cities when our revitalization is in full steam and population levels start increasing. Lets face facts cities like Detroit, Cincinnati, Buffalo, etc all have history and character along with a more ample supply of fresh water on their side. Plus many people prefer a diverse four season climate to just heat and humidity all the time. They are badmouthing all of us but deep down the sunbelt states know that their fun in the sun is going to end in the not too distant future. Detroit, Cincinnati, Buffalo and other older northern US cities on coming back and there is no stopping it which makes me happy.
It's amazing how far theyve come back today. 8 years later, Detroit is a much nicer city. We go for football and Woodward all the time and it's really improved since 2010.
@Frank DeFalco it has.
Really? What company fixed it?
Doubt it
@@abhijittripathi1385 doubt what? You've never been there then? So what would you know in that case?
Detroit had very aggressive school integration plans. Busing was used extensively and Whites resisted but also moved out in droves. The resent of busing was so intense that some buses in Pontiac area were bombed. Another factor was a series of Black riots. The 1967 riot was so bad the police and National guard were insufficient and both the 82 and 101st Army Airborne divisions had to be sent in. The riot was because the police closed an unlicensed bar. The riot destroyed
much of the city. During the 1970s another huge riot broke out when a white bartender accosted 3 Black youths breaking into his car. He claimed that he fired on them when they advanced on him. The Blacks rioted. Additional riots ensued during the 1980s and 1990s following sports victories
The riots and the forced busing led to an almost complete abandonment of Detroit by Whites. The city came to be a city of. Blacks ruled by Blacks. It almost disintegrated and is bankrupt dependent on state and federal bailouts.
Curtis Beardsley That’s the truth.
Generations of poor parenting.
@Curtis Beardsley Jerry is correct.
Thank these extreme liberal federal judges for ordering integration of Detroit public schools. If they would have left things alone Detroit wouldnt have fallen as disastrously as it did during the 70s. But these do gooder federal judges listening and pandering to these minority cry babies are the final nail in Detroit's coffin.
Now they have the money. They made white flight and cab buy after 911.
the result of liberal policies and the gangsta culture
in reality the result of global capital.
No, republican policies
How is that possible when the Democrats have been in control on that place for decades? Name ONE majority Republican run city that is in such a condition as Detroit.
LOL MY MANS JUST SAID REPUBLICANS POLICIES 😂😂😂
Marcus Figueroa Lol what a comment.
the big 3 auto makers did not adjust to soaring gas prices and cheaper less gas guzzling cars from japan. as revenues declined, unions refused to adjust. when losing money, first thing companies do is slash labor and/or look for cheaper labor elsewhere, so once the jobs left, the core of detroit was gutted, and beginning of the decline. with no jobs or money, crime started, people moved to the burbs. now it's just a hollow shell, and it's a damn shame. no quick or easy fixes on this
It would take commitment from everyone . From top management on down - take pay cuts . Less money - harder work . Keep it low until things pick up . I live in South West it was done it worked .If it can be done here - can be done there .Things out here are a lot more expensive - especially realestate . People out here being chocked on 10 - 11 dollars hourly . People need to reduce there greed .
I wonder how much money the GM upper management makes? That headquarters building doesn’t look cheap too.
To be honest, all of this is about paying your workers as little as possible. That’s why factories were outsourced to the third world.
But WHY did WEALTHY people
& Politicians, SELL ALL our REAL JOBS OUT of USA 🇺🇸?
My last visit to detroit was back in 2008 or so. The decline was already obvious but I‘m still shocked about what it became.
So, this dude was trying to convince me Europe is more racist than the States. Gonna have to show him this comment section.
I´m white you fucking fool.

Three words on how we can fix this city... "nuclear bomb". See? problem solved.
Detroit looks much like some Soviet style satellite cities, some of them abandoned.
Industrial decay looks the same all over the world. Global economy benefits the owners of capital and those consumers with money to spend.
Detroit should simply be a filming ground for all future post apocalyptic movies.
Very good comment :-)
To dangerous for movie crew...:)

Beautiful buildings, what a shame the city went bankrupt because of greedy companies outsourcing
But don't forget it was under Democratic control
It wasn't greedy companies it's the greedy corrupt politicians. How many mayors in prison and shit? Alot more should have been
Rod Whitmire ok but GM was the company that was powering Detroit, Gm decided to leave. Gm is a corporation not a party.
The car companies outsourced because it became too expensive to build cars in the US. Thanks to the Unions, they kept wanting more and more. They were never satisfied. I don't remember the year ,but I saw a chart showing that the labor cost to build a car in the US was $8,000, vs. $3000 abroad. The only was to be competitive with Japan and other foreign car makers was to go overseas, or to Mexico.
Q. Why doesn't someone buy up the abandoned plants and put them to use?
A. They are thoroughly obsolete in terms of present day technology.
Q. Why doesn't someone build new plants?
A. Because most Detroiters are too poorly educated to contribute to modern manufacturing methods.
Q. Why don't the unemployed leave Detroit for greener pastures?
A. Because they rightly predict that they are pretty much unemployable anywhere in the USA.
Since 1950, the population of Detroit has declined by 1.2M or 65%. Almost no one remaining in Detroit has something to contribute to manufacturing. Note that there is plenty of manufacturing still going on in the suburbs, starting with Ford in Dearborn. This video gives no hint of the prosperity and diversity of the Detroit suburbs, and of the strength of Ford. It also gives no hint that there are other Rust Belt disasters: Baltimore MD, Flint MI, Buffalo NY, Cleveland OH, Youngstown OH, Gary IN, East St. Louis, Camden NJ.
Agreed. Last I heard, about 50% of the detroit population is functionally illiterate. Guess you didn't need to bother with all that learning when you could support a family with full benefits off turning lug nuts all day. Times change and we need to change with it. Unfortunately many do not. This is a global problem. We're all headed for disaster really.
Johnny Blaze
Thanks to YT videos, I have learned that starting in the 1960s, there was a lot of drug use and trading on Michigan assembly lines. This surely adversely impacted product quality. Also, a rising proportion of assembly line workers were functionally illiterate, and clueless about basic science and technology. More threat to product quality. They were not at all worth the high pay and benefits the UAW had negotiated.
Diversity is a ticking time bomb. Once the culture of hate moves in the people who support the infrastructure move out. It's delusional to think otherwise.
Your continent now is big enough to play this. How long will it last?
Gregory Clark of UC Davis wrote in "Farewell To Alms" that First World nations will simply have to accept that about 15% of their adults will be supported by the public purse, because they lack the cognitive skills needed to hold a full time steady job in the 21st century, one paying health and retirement benefits. Detroit is a city where the 15% has grown to 70%.
I went to a Tragically Hip concert in Dearborn, MI 18 years back. Traveling through that state and city was unreal. I had no idea, nor do I think most of the world realizes how bad it really is. It just oozes hopelessness, fear and decay. 3rd world countries would be a step up to some of the neighbourhoods we drove through. I just can't believe how thoroughly broken it is. A perfect example of what can happen when corporate and government greed combine powers to destroy massive cities. It could happen anywhere.
The people destroyed it.
let that type of people to themselves and this is what they do ... just check Haiti...
Haiti is a terrible example. Read up on ya history bub. Haiti is an example of when one rapes a country of its resources until it virtually has nothing and then "gives it back" but says you still got to pay us in taxes. Basically a property tax. Then you have the Dominican Republic on the same exact island that's only a few handouts away from being like Haiti refusing to help uplift their neighbor.
Haiti is in trouble because the Clinton Foundation EMBEZZLED the 100millionUSD donated for Haitian Earthquake Relief.
plus Haiti's founders murdered the colonists who created the country. I'm all for punishing people who abuse others' human rights, but it's stupid to flat-out kill everyone who founded a colony - you lose their knowledge about how to build and maintain a functioning society.
As one born and raised in Detroit, it wasn't just the unions, but the working class in general.
You can pay your workers and make money for the investors but when you get to the point that the scale gets unbalanced, something HAS to give to rebalance them, and no one was willing to give and therein was the problem, greed or living beyond your means led to the company doing what they had to to remain viable. Simple as that.
A pretty typical black majority area.

I wish I can remember the politician's name but it was 50 years ago and I was 10.

Detroit was ruined the the republicans
UH. Republicans...A republican has been anywhere near a leadership position in Detroit for 50-60 years.
This has nothing to do with the democrats you dumb brainwashed fuck.
Corporate greed was the problem. Corporations that have more money than they can handle, easily enough to pay livable wages and still make ludicrous amounts of money, refuse to even do that, and cheap out on labor instead thus going elsewhere. And you know who gets down on their knees to suck corporations off? Republicans. They'll take your money, give it to billionaires while telling you everythings fine. You're being conned and you're too fucking dumb to realize it.

? There are hole ghost towns around the world. If you only propaganda job for living but never ever do any living. And it was political and military play.
Every major city in the east coast & Midwest has declined. Most cities up north are or were one dimensional production & industrial cities. You move jobs out these cities for cheaper pay this is what going to happen. Its neither blacks or whites fault. Through out history Detroit has had a crime problem. I mean one of the most notorious original gangs were from Detroit the Purple gang they even worked for Al'capone. So lets not act like blacks turned Detroit to a war zone. Because Detroit was never perfect from the beginning. I mean seriously Detroit had one of the worst race riots in American history over false roomers. Detroit has always had corrupted politic leaders. Shit until the 70s Detroit has always been divided as well. No unity, no jobs, politic leaders who don't give 2 shits bout the city and this what you get. Welcome to Detroit. It sucks to because Detroit really isn't as bad as the media makes it seems. Detroit during thanksgiving-New years is awesome specially if your a football or hockey fan. Detroit celebrates its new years with Canada. If you love cars right now is the time to be in Detroit for the car show. Detroiters are prideful people and tough. If your not from here don't judge the city. I've in Orlando Florida which I loved an now im Living in Houston Texas and ill tell you now neither cities are as live as Detroit regardless of its population change. I miss this place so much.
Seeing so many broken dreams and so much despair breaks my heart. I got depressed watching this, I can only imagine the level of depression those who've been effected by what's happened there have gone through. Thank corporate greed for fucking over your workers in favor of your bottom line you cheap bastards.
The population of the City of Detroit fell from 1.8 million in 1950 to 673,000 in 2017. The population of the Detroit metropolitan area rose from 3 million in 1950 to 6 million in 2017. While the city collapsed and turned into a "failed state", the broader metro area has thrived and its economy has boomed. The focus is always on the city, though. If globalization destroyed the city, then it should have destroyed the metro area as well - but it didn't. The reasons why the city failed and the suburbs didn't are straightforward, but uncomfortable for documentary narrators and other analysts on the left, and they always avoid coming to grips with them and stick to the narratives that make them feel morally comfortable.
If you want to watch good documentaries on Detroit, see the ones by Al Profit. Much, much better than this shallow rag. Al doesn't fully come to grips with the consequences of Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick. But he is honest about a lot of things, and he really does his homework.
Dirtyd23 If black people were the problem NYC would not be one of the safest and richest American city ;)
NYC was grimey by the 1970s but Wall Street and Big Media came up in 1980s, now NYC is gentrified.
Shareholders demanded outsourcing, conservative management did so and reduced quality for added effect. Can't blame that on blacks or unions. After generations of segregation and denial of quality education, you can't expect a rapid turn around and just say "ok you're free" when they wake up abandoned, in a ghetto.
These wealthy shareholders should have all their taxes increased by 90-95% as a stern penalty for their cold hearted greed and selfishness.

@MrKalashnik0va George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose. Stop believing everything the mainstream media says.
@MrKalashnik0va Nope. According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office Autopsy Report, the Toxicology section states: Blood drug and novel psychoactive substances screens:
1. Fentanyl 11 ng/mL
2. Norfentanyl 5.6 ng/mL
3. 4-ANPP 0.65 ng/mL
4. Methamphetamine 19 ng/mL
5. 11-Hydroxy Delta-9 THC 1.2 ng/mL;
Delta-9 Carboxy THC 42 ng/mL; Delta-9 THC 2.9 ng/mL
6. Cotinine positive
7. Caffeine positive
11mg is a lethal dose. The 4 or 5 of norfentanyl is the metabolite, meaning he'd already burnt through some of it. Floyd’s cause of death is listed officially as “cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restrain, and neck compression.” The full autopsy report states further that “no life-threatening injuries [were] identified.” Also, the FBI is compromised. KKK in the police? That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. Do you have any evidence that Chauvin is an actual white supremacist? If you watched the bodycam footage, he tried being cooperative with Floyd.
@MrKalashnik0va You're right that it was 11 nanograms and not milograms, but the dude was swimming in drugs and had multiple preexisting conditions. 11 ng/mL is proof enough that he was on all sorts. Such levels don't spontaneously appear in the blood. Also, forget about the whole police infiltration thing. We're talking about George Floyd here. We're also talking about the four officers involved, who if I remember correctly do not call themselves white supremacists. Floyd was resisting arrest for like 10 minutes before the neck shit happened. He wanted to go on the ground, and the officers had no idea he was on drugs. They simply followed procedure. What, are they supposed to just let a man acting erratically roam free with no restraints? Don't believe me? Take a look here: spectator.org/george-floyd-police-training-minneapolis. The technique they used was part of the Minneapolis Police Department’s official training materials. If anything, the people who think the procedures are too extreme should shift their focus to the Minneapolis City Council and not the police force.
@MrKalashnik0va They already tried putting him in the patrol car for a good 10 minutes. Watch the full 30 minute bodycam footage, and not the spliced up footage the mainstream media is shoveling around. Here, I'll give you a link: www.bitchute.com/video/X56wQ9VUxvjt/

You have spent a 90% of your time and nine demonstrating that Detroit has a problem. You have failed to delineate "How Detroit Became America's Warzone". I wanted to understand the process by which a once great city was destroyed, I wanted to understand who is responsible and why. In addition to negative criticism and explaining who is at fault, I would be interested in positive criticism explaining how to avoid this IN other cities across our nation.I don't know what the purpose of this video was, but you have totally failed to meet my expectations based on your title.
Hmmm according to the 2010 Census, the racial composition of Detroit was: Black or African American: 82.7% there ya go

I keep hearing that the city wants to tear down all the vacant buildings and tear up the streets and make it all farm land. But they don't want to pay the cost of tearing the buildings down. Then you are going to always have the eyesores with you for people to laugh at you. Giving people a plot of land to farm doesn't work either.

Restrictions and tax money
@@kevingonzalez3792 I can hear the daddy’s money
@@kevingonzalez3792 you dumb, lemme start my own automobile company and compete against the current monopoly
That's why being paid less than what you need to live is illegal in my country. During the aftermath of the 1. WW companies used to make "auctions" for jobs. There was one job avaivable for about 20 unemployed people, so the general procedure was to let the candidates bid for what wage they would do that kind of work. The guy who wanted to do it for the least amount of wage got the job.
Unemployment rates were so high that people had pretty much the same mentality like your dad. They had to work 80 hours a week for half a loaf of bread as a payment, but at least they got something at all. The problem with this is that if people have no money, they can't spend it on anything, which means that other companies relying on that spending capacity will die as well, which in turn means that those people working there lose their jobs and join the crowd of people with no money, which again means that more companies have to end their business. It's an endless downwards spiral and the nation itself suffers from the decreasing number of companies and employees that are actually paying taxes, and less taxes mean less development.
That's why this form of hardcore capitalism is just poison for a community. It's insane that the U.S. still let that happen. In my country the poorest people are more like lower middle class in America.
