When I go in those old neighborhoods I wish could see what they looked like years before. Not a lot of people realize what great cities they once were.
Those houses are ruins, not worth fixing, and the 'hoods too dangerous to house anything other than thugs and gangbangers. It's a waste of time and resources to even bother trying to upgrade these 'hoods because the current residents aren't civilized and would simply wreck it all over again.
And just to think...these neighborhoods were full of life and middle class families. Businesses, schools, stores, doctor's offices. Now look at it smh its terrible what happened to most midwestern cities. Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc same shit
This is really hard for me to watch. This is my old neighborhood. I grew up on Collingwood and Broadstreet near Dexter in the 70s and 80s. There was so much life in this neighborhood back then. The infusion of crack among other things contributed to this current state. I have so many good memories and I'm almost tearing up watching this video. It didn't look like this then but I can say that toward the end of the 80s I started to see the decline. Alot of black entrepreneurs thrived in this neighborhood and I never felt in danger as a kid in this area. It's been years since I rode thru just to take a look. Really breaks my heart.
This is why blacks are being forced out of our cities because we don't have any money to fix up our neighborhoods but, we'll do stupid stuff like buys cars; cars don't hold any value . We need put our money in real estate and build up and keep our neighborhoods up. Our priorities is mixed up then when we're faced with change then we want to blame everyone except ourselves!
Thank our goverment for that. They did this TO YOU. PLEASE UNDERSTAND IT WAS BY DESIGN. Then they stole all the fathers away. Then they lured all the single moms away and Hell run riot. It's not your fault my fault. Our own goverment made this fuckery. Them fucks!!
These videos are so jawdropping. I really appreciate the videowork you do. Its so crazy that this is the united states and we have this much crumbling housing
I will live in area, over the filthy suburbs anytime. At least it real! The so called suburbs are just as bad , with clean streets and nicely cut yards, overprice houses. Evil as they come with smiling faces 🤪
This area only 30 years ago was beautiful. The brickwork, structure and overall architecture in these now abandoned houses was amazing. Imagine the kids playing in the streets, parents going to/from work, the cookouts and parties. At the time it still was "dangerous" in the eyes of many, but if you minded your own business 9/10 the crime passed you by.
From what I understand, a lot of people set fire to there houses on purpose, to collect on the insurance money. I suppose this is because of the rapidly dropping property values. They would never be able to sell the house and their money back
So very sad... I can't imagine how hard it must be for the families that still do live in the same neighborhood, must be terrible to be the only inhabitants of a whole block of derelict houses... Scary to! ☹️
As I’m laying in bed In my home at night, I’m literally imagining if I’m in this home in a pitch dark street surrounded by abandoned houses with god knows what going on. Pretty freaky thought, you’d feel absolutely helpless at night. I know every night you’d be on edge wondering if someone is going to try your house, the one occupied house with valuables in the area. Or maybe they’ll leave it alone and just snoop around? Who knows but all the scenarios would just be freaky and too much to be able to live there. Even if I didn’t have a family I wouldn’t do it unless I had a death wish.
I'm from the area and still live here. A lot of homeowners lost their home to banks due to those ridiculous mortgages. Detroit was impacted the worse and the homes were never reoccupied.
It is quite apparent that Detroit’s comeback is limited to the downtown/mid-town/cork-town areas. The city of Detroit is one of the largest (by square miles) cities in the US yet the social-economical effects of the last 50-60 years are still with us today. It’s tough to be a local and see the deep neighborhoods of Detroit look like this.
Im from Detroit (lived in West and Northwest for 23 years).Though alot of Detroit looks like this, particularly most of the east side and parts of the west side. However, Northwest Detroit which is a VERY LARGE SECTION (many, many miles) is quite GORGEOUS AND DISTINCTIVE!! Even though these homes are very large that you see in this video, most of them are duplexes. triplexes and even 4 family homes in each structure. Northwest DETROIT homes are mostly craftsman singular dwelling/homes. There is still some abandoned homes but on a small scale compared to WEST Detroit. Northwest Detroit have countless mansions that exceed a million dollars each (which is considered extremely expensive in the State of Michigan). Palmar Park, Sherwood Forest, The University District, Rosedale Park are northwest Detroit communities with extraordinary built gems in OVERALL beautiful condition.
@@dreadlyfe2746 never said all , said most of Eastside. Yes, English Village, some 8 mile neighborhoods, some Jefferson Ave neighborhoods, Indian Village and a few smaller pockets are nice but being an AVID bike rider that has been through and through more parts of Detroit than probably most Detroiters, with family who lived throughout most areas of Detroit, well facts are facts. With that being said, please face the facts of the "overall" devastation of the Eastside. It is the poorest area with the oldest homes that were made from "on a large part" wood framed structures that are not kept and of little value. "A great deal" of the Eastside homes are gone and been replaced with weeds and grass. I never said it is absolutely bad but anyone who truly knows Detroit knows that "Northwest Detroit" is the most beautiful part of Detroit overall which is an absolute fact. That is all I was trying to point out.
@@trillythagr8259 you stayed close to all them Chaldeans living on 7 mile and John R. That neighborhood was flooded with Chaldeans in the 70s, 80s, 90s, until the mid 2000s...they started coming to Detroit from Iraq in the 60s.

Crazy thing is that hood don't look much better than Iraq now, you right it's like a 3rd world country
For years and years the city allocated tax dollars to keep the roads and everything nice. But the people never changed. The poor morals and drug use destroyed that part of the city. The city gave up. The people were too difficult to deal with. They destroyed everything the city ever did for them. You can change the landscape but you can't change the piss poor morals and the poor development. Those people had many chance. But they always destroyed and commited crime non stop.

@@DenyBlackburn Nope. That's what happens when your city has a full blown riot (1960s) and the city never recovered. People moved out. Those who were left were unable to care for the city. Then there's fatherless homes, corrupt mayors, drugs... etc...

You're not allowed to imagine things back in the 50s. Liberals will call you a racist. But you can certainly look at Detroit in 2019 and bear witness to what those exact same Liberals have done with their failing policies.

I'm starting to believe all those abandoned, burnt out houses are actually secret hide outs for criminal elements. I mean why else would a criminal hang out in such a lousy looking neighborhood? There has to be some sort of conspiracy, as to why these houses still exist.
Amid the decay, there are a few houses being nicely kept up! Flowers and mowed lawns-how depressing to realize that your house , despite all your hard work, is worthless.
it makes no sense to me that their are so many homeless people around the city and country,and these premises are empty and left to rott,can't the mayor and the police and the social infrastructure get together and get these places active to house and get folks to work again ? it's a damn shame ..
@@d-boyzeighteenhundred I've never lived there just tooled around looking for weed and beers quite a few times...compared to other cities, esp CA, Detroit seemed desolate to me esp in the cold
It would be helpful to see the street signs for street names. Particularly for ex-Detroiters who have memories of these once thriving neighborhoods as they once were 50-60 years ago. A city so neglected, abandoned is an American tragedy.
As a naive Australian I find this hard to get my head around all this urban decay and abandoned houses. Most of us have given up on the "Australian dream" of having a house, yet there is so much urban decay in Detroit. With so much homelessness everywhere, I can't imagine how those houses were able to get into such a condition that they are unrepairable. I'm sure in Australia they would have been snapped up ages ago, even in a rough area.
I'm from Brazil and like to watch videos like this. Here in Brazil nobody coments about this face of USA. The most of Brazilian thinks that the USA is just riches. Congratulations for the videos! You allowed me to know the USA without leave of the Brazil
If you want to know what the world would look like after a zombie apocalypse, or a nuclear explosion, just drive around the streets of Detroit!! It’s so sad. The city needs to demolish all of these abandoned homes!
Beautiful houses with a unique architecture but with many signs of abandonment. Unfortunate. I am from Brazil and I love traveling with you in your videos.
Sadly, some of these houses have been abandoned for so long that full grown trees have grown in front of the stairway. Detroit is slowly turning back into the wooded area it once was.
Yup! Imma buy a house here and spend $75k to bring it up living quality standards. Then another $50k for security purposes. Tack on military grade steel fencing and barricades and sure, I'd live there.......................With my 9mm on my side lol........
That started out as a memorial to someone who had gotten killed there and then took on a "life of its own"... To make things worse, many of the bottles are still full of their original liquor !
Actually, I'm from Baltimore ( thanks for thinking me a local ! ) and was watching a video on The Shea Show channel where he and a couple of others visit this house while visiting a house that he is rehabbing across the street from it...
Now how about showing all the beautiful neighborhoods we have in Detroit. They're slum neighborhoods everywhere. People who live in Detroit need to take more pride in our city instead of making a degrading video.
This is a public service, people need to see what a progressive socialist government does for the people. It sucks the life and pride out of them leaving a hopeless shell. Take it back people.

Mayor duggan didn't do it this city was pilfered buyer mayor that ran it for over 20 years and then was run by another crook duggan is trying to clean up the mess get it right I am a white blue collar worker that lives in the city of Detroit and loves the city of Detroit every city has every city has homeless and every city has Gatos why not ride around the nice parts of the city instead of the ghettos this city has more heart and culture than any city in the United States hands down
Detroit is like the whole of Russia

If the west side in it then u can't leave Brightmoe out
Detroit is about 150 sq miles. It's a huge city with a small population. From 1 million in the 1990s to 600K today. WTH happened to Detroit?😖😭
Way more than 1 million, iirc.
@@Skyduke nope. The population declined in the 90s. Look it up.
AnnInTheMitt Shitty mayors in the past that’s what happened
That's what happens in a ultra capitalism country
@@DenyBlackburn
Nope. That's what happens when your city has a full blown riot (1960s) and the city never recovered. People moved out. Those who were left were unable to care for the city. Then there's fatherless homes, corrupt mayors, drugs... etc...
Some history of these places would help. You are doing a nice job anyway. Keep up the good work. Thanks
They looked like they were some really nice houses at one time.
Don't seem dangerous to me.
Not one gun shot.
Nobody approached your vehicle.
Just a casual ride thru the hood.
There's DOZENS of places like this in America.
Its the daytime too im from there shit gets real at night go see for yourself.
It get ugly at night man u just don't know and it can get reckless in broad day... but NIGHT TIME!!!!. ..lol this area will knock yo socks off and put em back on
Imagine this in the 50s.
You're not allowed to imagine things back in the 50s. Liberals will call you a racist. But you can certainly look at Detroit in 2019 and bear witness to what those exact same Liberals have done with their failing policies.
Classy area... B-4 they came and destroyed !
I do and it hurts...
@@Danlovestrivium Liberals are commies just changed a new name. Democrats are US communist party. Commies can never run a successful nation or city.
Turkey Man my sons grandmother said it was just beautiful when she came up here in the 70s
Can't one of the crack dealers spring for a ride mower/weed whacker?
Ain’t nobody makin a g a day selling drugs gonna go mow some abandoned homes lawn lol
No they spent all their money on the 98 Lincoln Town car with big chrome rims...the hell with paying the rent or cutting the grass, I look cool in my Lincoln!!! Lol
5:20 grown men playing basketball. It must be their day off
Why can't grown men play basketball ? Just because you see someone for 10 seconds in a video doesn't mean they don't work. How did you find time to watch and comment on this video ? Is it your day off ?
Much like everyday
Are you for real? 🤣🤣
Blacks know how to make great communities, am I right?
Aristocratical Phenomenon pretty much all the middle class and smart blacks and whites left the city and left lower class blacks this mess. Theirs actually some nice suburbs in Detroit with many blacks.
David Bauer yes, but nowhere near the majority who have caused this destruction!
Much love for my city! Once was one of the most beautiful cities. Shame on Coleman and Kwamie
CharlieBo313 Your videos are very well done. Can you do a drive through video of the hoods of Greenville, Mississippi? I know a 90 year old woman who would love to see it. :-)
Edit: Since she is 90 years old, if you are going to make this video sooner than later would be best I think. :-) Thanks so very much.
Lol you aren't supposed to stop at stop signs in Detroit, you just look both ways and keep rolling.
Only if your just scared do you keep rolling lmao dont judge if ya never been least detroit aint got lil kids rapper like most citys do but you must mind your bussines down in the D because you will end up in one of them abandoned houses👈👈💯💯
@@brandinboyd4724 I live in the Detroit metro... I know. Myself and plenty of people I know have had people pull on car door handles at stop signs. Thats why you dont stop lol.
" Get off my lawn !"
Clint Eastwood. Grand Torino.
So... I was waiting for the “dangerous” part.
Don't go there in summer or dark, it's gotten very bad there
adman harv So, how is it “dangerous” when there’s nobody around? I grew up in this area in the ‘50s and ‘60s btw.
Watch the news lately? Shootings everyday, carjacking, bodies found in houses, hit and run with people hurt or killed, need more?
adman harv And how is this different from many other places in the country? How is it in YOUR neck of the woods?
Try hanging out there at night some time
I noticed it say
Buyer's Beware : These 5 Cities are Danger of a Housing Crash This Year
5. Hartford CT
4. Baltimore MD
3. Bridgeport MD
2. Detroit
1. Newark New Jersey
Biggest City has High Vacancy Rates of Both House and Rentals Apt at 5.2 percent Respectively to Compare the National Average is 1.7: percent For Houses and 6.1 percent . the City Struggles with late Mortgage delinquent 6 times Payments almost 6.4 percent of House are National rates .
Will Next Newark New Jersey few Later all Lost ...
Like This Detroit ...
Sadly ....
From the 313..it was a beautiful place at one time.even though it's like this I got much love for DETROIT!!!
I'm starting to believe all those abandoned, burnt out houses are actually secret hide outs for criminal elements. I mean why else would a criminal hang out in such a lousy looking neighborhood? There has to be some sort of conspiracy, as to why these houses still exist.
Of course they’re trap houses.. of course they’re used for drug and gang activities
Seen this video where dude tried to take his house back...the current trap resident was like..."Do you have paper work that this is YOUR house?"...
Back in the day Some people move into these places that seem ok but then it's the bad people who think it's ok to move in
Amid the decay, there are a few houses being nicely kept up! Flowers and mowed lawns-how depressing to realize that your house , despite all your hard work, is worthless.
Actual footage of the matrix
it makes no sense to me that their are so many homeless people around the city and country,and these premises are empty and left to rott,can't the mayor and the police and the social infrastructure get together and get these places active to house and get folks to work again ? it's a damn shame ..
Almost a ghost town ! 👻👻😨
Claerton Arcoverde it’s not.....
@@xobreona7450! Ok girl thanks.
Thanks for showing this.
If you see a new roof on any of these shacks chances are i delivered it
how many pheasants do you see running around these neighborhoods?
Good looking old houses, white people build quality.
The D dangerous level is on 10 since the car plants left
Place probably crazy at night but looks quite during the day
Not really crazy at night nobody is around esp in the winter
Depends where you at , some spots the real wild west when the sun goes down 💯💯💯
@@d-boyzeighteenhundred I've never lived there just tooled around looking for weed and beers quite a few times...compared to other cities, esp CA, Detroit seemed desolate to me esp in the cold
decadent and fascinating at the same time. I'm a fan of this city since I watched Paul Verhoheen's legendary Robocop
It would be helpful to see the street signs for street names. Particularly for ex-Detroiters who have memories of these once thriving neighborhoods as they once were 50-60 years ago. A city so neglected, abandoned is an American tragedy.
Detroit = Deathtroit
As a naive Australian I find this hard to get my head around all this urban decay and abandoned houses. Most of us have given up on the "Australian dream" of having a house, yet there is so much urban decay in Detroit. With so much homelessness everywhere, I can't imagine how those houses were able to get into such a condition that they are unrepairable. I'm sure in Australia they would have been snapped up ages ago, even in a rough area.
Why can’t the city fix up these nice looking big houses and sell them? They’re bigger than my house 🙁
no one cares...
Yes I do care jerome...it will be nice of how much are this houses sell for
I'm from Brazil and like to watch videos like this. Here in Brazil nobody coments about this face of USA. The most of Brazilian thinks that the USA is just riches. Congratulations for the videos! You allowed me to know the USA without leave of the Brazil
Oh, my, Charlie. Completely riveting, tho.
It's like America lost a game of Jumanji..
How the hell he ride through these neighborhoods untouchable?
Dorothy McCray he dodged blocks. Might of been too much goin on to record
maybe because there's no people around, even the thugs and prostitute moved out, there's no money to be made there...
'cause he was in a car
If you want to know what the world would look like after a zombie apocalypse, or a nuclear explosion, just drive around the streets of Detroit!! It’s so sad. The city needs to demolish all of these abandoned homes!
How the "hail" can they afford the nice cars seen /drug sales & theft /..Notice they even strip bricks from several buildings to sell..
Mostly buy used. I saw nice looking used luxury cars at dealer lots for under 8K. 2011 STS still looked nice for under 5K. Simple.
Beautiful houses with a unique architecture but with many signs of abandonment. Unfortunate. I am from Brazil and I love traveling with you in your videos.
I deliver shingles an roofing supplies in this neighbor hood Eastside too
can you delivered over in the north-west?
I love driving around old neighborhoods too. Pretty eye opening. Beautiful homes here. Wish they could be fixed up.
Wow this whole city looks abandoned
Sadly, some of these houses have been abandoned for so long that full grown trees have grown in front of the stairway. Detroit is slowly turning back into the wooded area it once was.
Beverly hills cop just comes to mind
Some beautiful details on those homes, it's so sad what's happened to Detroit.. seems to be happening in many other cities too?
Damn that was depressing
This is what you call rob the community blind
Yup! Imma buy a house here and spend $75k to bring it up living quality standards. Then another $50k for security purposes. Tack on military grade steel fencing and barricades and sure, I'd live there.......................With my 9mm on my side lol........
That's the cheap part, wait until you get your auto insurance bill!
I lived on the west side for 19 years.amazing to see how bad it’s gotten. The houses are huge.
2:03... Look at the house on the right with all the empty liquor bottles in the front, lmao!!!!
That started out as a memorial to someone who had gotten killed there and then took on a "life of its own"...
To make things worse, many of the bottles are still full of their original liquor !
@@dalemcnamee2427 Interesting ... I'm assuming you're a local and know what's up ... anyways, i appreciate the 411 ☑💯👍
Creepy with a beautiful twist
Actually, I'm from Baltimore ( thanks for thinking me a local ! ) and was watching a video on The Shea Show channel where he and a couple of others visit this house while visiting a house that he is rehabbing across the street from it...
CrimsonTider1981 Nazi profile picture
I grew up in this area. It is such a shame the way it turned out.
Now how about showing all the beautiful neighborhoods we have in Detroit. They're slum neighborhoods everywhere. People who live in Detroit need to take more pride in our city instead of making a degrading video.
Juaneva Moore this channel is not about showing beautiful neighborhoods, it’s about neighborhoods we DON’T get to see.
This is a public service, people need to see what a progressive socialist government does for the people. It sucks the life and pride out of them leaving a hopeless shell. Take it back people.
You missed the point
