watching cops dedicated to mental health emergencies actually talk people down from their cliffs instead of criminalizing them for their behavior is genuinely amazing. thank god i live in a city that can respond to those needs better than other cities in this nation! now how about that for a change, Detroit leading in something great!
The only thing missing at Detroit Central Station are the trains. Trains from Chicago, Toronto, New York City, and all over the Midwest without connecting to another train.
@adambuesser6264 from what I've heard, is that the train station is going to have stores and restaurants. I think the auto industry would be afraid of sales dropping off they put a train there. It's unfortunate because a train would be amazing for Detroit.
Those clips of that woman saved from killing herself and the guy having that gun taken away from him... Powerful stuff man. Detroit is an amazing city and its comeback is inspiring. Credit to all the great people working to bring it back to its glory days minus the negativity that was allowed to build.
more like ethnic cleansing, they scared out the creators of the city and displaced them with foreigners using race riots from the 60s, do you think we forgot history ?
This is a beautifully made video essay. It kept me engaged right to the end. Here in far-off Australia, last I heard was the demolition program was struggling for lack of funds. I’m so glad I came across this heartwarming report to bring me up to date. I have a slight connection to the city, having attended a trade fair there in 1983. I’ve been to a lot of places around the world but for some reason I have always kept an interest in Detroit and how it’s going. I’m so glad it’s on an upward swing. Respect and affection from an old time visitor.
Hopefully Cleveland keep following the same path. We’ve tore down thousands of abandoned properties. The murder rate is down 43%. Downtown is growing. And the lakefront and riverfront is being developed.
I love Cleveland to hopefully it sets an example for other cities in the state like Toledo Columbus and akron and also my city of elyria. We call elyria pot hold heaven here
I visited Detroit and Cleveland last year and noticed all of the good work going on. Detroit and Cleveland are doing what it takes. I tell young people here in Atlanta that are priced out of homeownership in the city to consider Cleveland and Detroit to set up their businesses, find a job, get a home and take a stand
THANK YOU for making an honest video about Detroit that isn’t conservative fear mongering. I have lived and worked in Detroit since 2017 and witnessing a big part of its comeback has been incredible.
Moved here, yet outside of Detroit. Before you go all feel good story Detroit is pretty tore up, wore out and sketchy. Don't be fooled at all by this video, 165 car j*ckings, endless m*rder, endless blight. It's going to take a lifetime to just make it o.k., you people need to understand how bad everything is, and the volume of bad buildings, barb wire, tore up infrastructure, huge areas you can't or would never get off the highway to get gas or you'd be a victim.
You have to appreciate Detroit's mayor and police chief's confidence in mental illness situations. I wish more of the U.S. was willing to learn these strategies because, in the end, I think they definitely save more lives. Additionally, they get people the proper care they deserve without making them out to be heinous individuals.
Yeah that is just another area that unscrupulous politicians have exploited the most vulnerable in society - glad to see that these guys have their priorities right.
A great video. I moved to Detroit just over 10 years ago and have been working downtown for most of it and have seen an amazing transformation during that time. It's wild to me that Dan Gilbert's name wasn't mentioned once though. He has built and remodeled countless buildings downtown and most of what you see down there he owns in some way. Tens of thousands of jobs too.

It’s hard for a person to move away from a political position that they were really good at like Theodore Roosevelt was he was very sad after he didn’t run for president again immediately. But I think if he became governor he could help so many more people by helping write new police codes
We've been through a lot in this city, but we're still here. Out of towners talk down about Detroit, but they have no idea what it's like to be from/live here. We'll keep rising above it all, no matter what anyone says about us. Speramus Meliora; Resurget Cineribus
I've lived outside of Detroit my whole life. These last few years the city has changed so much. I tell everyone to go if you haven't been in a while. There are so many great places up there.
This is a video that I thought had been done too often already... but the focus on people and individual stories really emphasized how Detroit is becoming a model city for the US.
I'm absolutely astonished with the noble work of this Mens and women !! Detroit we love you! I wish the best for a city who suffer a lot from many different circumstances.So many good music, artist, anonymous people who suffer many injustices and still try to make a different.Underground Resitance is the Key.That's Class.Lots of love from Madrid.
This mental health concept needs to be told far and wide. The US greatest problems, from crime to homelessness, is contingent on our poor handling of mental health issues.
Being from Michigan originally and living in both Ontario and Michigan I can say Detroit has made one hell of a comeback. We went to the NFL draft and all we heard from out of towners is how clean and safe the city felt. It really was alive compared to 10-20 years ago.
I'm a former Detroit Carpenter local 687, I did a speech and live Q&A with mayor Mike Duggan a couple years ago concerning the new carpenter apprenticeship school that was built. I was hoping I'd see myself on your video lowkey lol! No but Duggan is a great guy he seems very sincere, I moved out of Detroit and every day i miss my city man... Even in the last 3 years its changed dramatically.
I wonder if you'll do Baltimore soon. The city has gone from America's crime capital (arguably artificially so), to becoming a reasonably safe and more and more friendly and equitable place to live. The current mayor has a large part to play in that.
Im from Grand Rapids and I recently visited Detroit for a concert and I loved it. I can tell the city is headed to a good direction. Might just move there someday. I love the city life.
It's so rare to see and feel that a politician is legitimately trying to make a difference and from a place of caring and love. This should be studied. The mayor is kind of a dork and it's only been the best thing for the city, ever. I'm legitimately afraid of what snakes may follow him. The worst thing would be someone who is only in it for themselves or who tries to spread hate and fear.
What a refreshing story to watch. My takeaway is that it's about the people, those that live there and have to participate in the place they live, well done. There are so many videos of cops going in strong, usually with a lethal outcome, bravo in taking a progressive approach to mental health issues within your community. If you take away the " them against us " it proves we all pretty much want the same thing, a safe and brighter future. Very encouraging
This mayor has done more for Detroit than any other mayor in its history. Just tearing down the abandon houses and getting working street lights and Emergency services response time(fire/ police before him you had to wait an hour before they showed up)
It’s probably not gonna happen because of the cities deep ties to the auto industry, but man, they could avoid so much of the red tape if they built now while land is cheap and mostly undeveloped.
Impressive feat. When there is no vision, people perish…in this case, there was leadership and vision which enabled this remarkable transformation. Wishing you more success
there are pockets of great investment possibilities but as long as you have an insanely corrupt city council, the vast majority of Detroit will stay a dump.
Nice video. Have visited the city a couple of weeks ago. It felt strange the first few hours. But i really enjoyed the stay. I can recommend everyone to visit the city. ( From the EU)
This is a fantastic piece, Thanks! I have a story: Since Zillow happened I've been watching the homes I've lived in. I was born at Mt Carmel in '61 but we moved a ways west in '68 like many did. One of those homes, a beautiful duplex in Bagley that my great grandfather had built and that my family had lived in & us 3 kids were born in. It was sold in 2020 for $100,000. The speculator converted it into a single family home and sold it in early '23 for a spectacular sum of money. Last month I asked my elderly mom if she wanted to swing by when I was visiting. She told me she hadn't been there since '71 when my gma sold it. I said "let's go", so we did. We had hoped that maybe the owners would be around, but they weren't. But I left my card in case they wanted to learn the history of the property. Mike, a successful engineer and musician called and was so excited to invite us over! Around thanksgiving we'll be there pouring out what mom knows about this little castle in the city. Oh, and GO LIONS!
This isn't just a story of rampant, pell mell growth to help put the bad old days behind and forget about the past. This is about thoughtful, inclusive what-do-we-want-our-city-to-look-like ten, twenty, fifty years from now and will our grandchildren not only prosper in it but continue on a constructive path of progress and development, too. This is true renaissance, rebirth phoenix-like and an example for the whole world, as well. 😊
That video of the of the officers and the woman with a knife reminded me of a situation that happened with me in the past when I was 16 or 17 living in a not so good neighborhood and I was having a mental health crisis. My family and I had a long history of mental health issues due to trauma and poverty. My whole family was so messed up that one time back in my home town (the next town over from where this happened) I told the police my last name and one of the officers said something along the lines of "ah I've heard about you guys". Anyway, my mother called the police and I did not get treated at all like what was shown in this video. When the police arrived I was sitting on the living room floor and they busted through the door yelling and pointing big ol guns at me. Imagine that. A teenage girl crying on the cold tile floor in a mostly empty living room surrounded by 4 police officers with their guns drawn. They saw me as a threat and not a child in crisis. I'm glad that the administration in Detroit understand that some people just need help and arresting them doesn't fix the core problem. I'm out of that home situation now and have more average stresses like bills and a job I hate. lol
I know these dilapidated houses need to come down, but I wish there was a priority to tear down frame homes instead of the brick homes. Some of these brick homes were the epitome of architectural brilliance. They're really beautiful. It's a shame what happened to the City of Detroit over the last 50 years. A real shame.
Are they going to pass laws that keep the taxes low for long term property owners who have been in there properties longterm and are older? I hope they do. When development happens in low income neighborhoods their taxes go up because property values increase and they tend to lose their homes. I just watched this elder speak about this in Cleveland. A lot of older people are on fixed income. Most of them are.
I went to detroit last month for the first time. It was real nice. Streets were clean, downtown was pleasant, it was safe and there was development everywhere. Id definitely go back and spend more time there.

This is true renaissance, rebirth phoenix-like and an example for the whole world, as well. 😊
what a coincidence that i'm gonna drive to Detroit at the time of this videos release
Nice, don't watch and drive tho ;)
Such a well-constructed recap of the Detroit's comeback! Love this.
This is so inspiring ❤
Why am I about to cry watching the last part of this video??! We need this kind of training all across the country.
Best mayor we’ve had in my lifetime.
That video of the of the officers and the woman with a knife reminded me of a situation that happened with me in the past when I was 16 or 17 living in a not so good neighborhood and I was having a mental health crisis. My family and I had a long history of mental health issues due to trauma and poverty. My whole family was so messed up that one time back in my home town (the next town over from where this happened) I told the police my last name and one of the officers said something along the lines of "ah I've heard about you guys". Anyway, my mother called the police and I did not get treated at all like what was shown in this video. When the police arrived I was sitting on the living room floor and they busted through the door yelling and pointing big ol guns at me. Imagine that. A teenage girl crying on the cold tile floor in a mostly empty living room surrounded by 4 police officers with their guns drawn. They saw me as a threat and not a child in crisis. I'm glad that the administration in Detroit understand that some people just need help and arresting them doesn't fix the core problem.
I'm out of that home situation now and have more average stresses like bills and a job I hate. lol
Thank you for sharing that story. I am so sorry that happened to you-happy to hear you’re in a more stable situation now! Keep up the good work!
I know these dilapidated houses need to come down, but I wish there was a priority to tear down frame homes instead of the brick homes. Some of these brick homes were the epitome of architectural brilliance. They're really beautiful. It's a shame what happened to the City of Detroit over the last 50 years. A real shame.
Indeed. I also wonder how much of the material is salvageable or is it all going straight to landfill?
I'm proud of you Detroit, keep it up ❤
Beautiful city! Proud of Detroit!
Do Milwaukee at some point! Rich history with a unique economy post rust belt collapse
This is how every police department in the country should be operated!
Are they going to pass laws that keep the taxes low for long term property owners who have been in there properties longterm and are older? I hope they do. When development happens in low income neighborhoods their taxes go up because property values increase and they tend to lose their homes. I just watched this elder speak about this in Cleveland. A lot of older people are on fixed income. Most of them are.
8:15 - damn that was emotional, what an amazing team
That bodycam footage was incredible
Love to see it
Got to say Mayor Duffan is amazing!! Maybe he can save my hometown of San Francisco - we need him !
Duggan not Duffan
@@victormuhammad2678 whoops !
Love to see the renewal!
this story deserves a "love" button
This should be a president😢
If the Democrats are smart as they rebuild, they'd be wise to elevate Duggan as a Clinton-like politican after years of Republican rule.
Thank you
Shame this guy isn’t running for president it’d be nice to hear some sensible debate and strategy and less arguments and hate
Definitely
I went to detroit last month for the first time. It was real nice. Streets were clean, downtown was pleasant, it was safe and there was development everywhere. Id definitely go back and spend more time there.
