The city of Detroit, in the U.S. state of Michigan, has gone through a major economic and demographic decline in recent decades. The population of the city has fallen from a high of 1,850,000 in 1950 to 677,116 in 2015, kicking it off the top 20 of US cities by population for the first time since 1850. However, the city has a combined statistical area of 5,318,744 people, which currently ranks 12th in the United States. Local crime rates are among the highest in the United States (despite this, the overall crime rate in the city has seen a decline during the 21st century, and vast areas of the city are in a state of severe urban decay. In 2013, Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy case in U.S. history, which it successfully exited on December 10, 2014. Poverty, crime, and urban blight in Detroit continue to be ongoing problems.
Nonetheless, poverty is improving. As of 2017 median household income is rising, criminal activity is decreasing by 5% annually as of 2017, and the city's blight removal project is making progress in ridding the city of all abandoned homes that cannot be rehabilitated.

Damn, I just wish we had reporters like this now days.
That's Mike Wallace. His son Chris Wallace is a Journalist and anchor very much like him today.
instead we get chris wallace, what a joke.
Yeah...he really changed a lot right?
"oh no! mike Wallace! RUN!" -chris rock
Why? You would just dismiss it as _fake news_ because it does jive with your point of view.
This reporter is bold. He is a good one.
This was when journalists were journalists and not propaganda machines. Political correctness gone wild today.
So this was happening even in the mid seventies...forty five years ago! Jeez!,
LOL....Not much has changed.
The fall of the auto industry had nothing to do with it.
And the cycle goes on....and on...and on.
And on and on and so on ... unreal isn't it .. greed
I’m 64 and when I was 18 my friends and I would go over to San Francisco and have lunch and generally just have fun
It’s a beautiful city but fast forward to the present it’s falling apart
The elite rich and liberal politicians have ruined San Francisco
My mom grew up there in the 30’s 40’s and 50’s and won’t even go visit the city anymore
So it’s not just Detroit but every big city
@@dondressel452 *every LIBERAL big city
@@justislaidman9210 definitely
That’s NOT vandalism, it’s neglect and abandonment. The vandalism came later.
the government is still operating like this now; nothing has changed.
Government can only do so much, the people have to wake tf up at some point.Only thing that will work in that shithole is to spay and neuter any felon in that city. Like a fuckin dog, bring the fucker in and snip. End a few hundred thousand worthless family lines.
They need a new government.
I lived in Detroit for 45 years.
I lived in Detroit for 45 years.
Nope. Never will as long as Greed & Pride are alive & well.😢
Corruption is to blame. Starts at the inspections.
April 16 1987 DON BALL, 65, who retired in February as a Detroit News reporter, died Tuesday. Ball wrote a series of articles on waste and corruption in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that earned him United Press International's 1971 award for best general reporting in Michigan.
Rip to my father he truly made a impact on Detroit he wasn’t just a news reporter he was a community activist and a organ donor to a man who needs a organ coming back from the war
He didn't live long enough to see frank Dodd and Hillary Clinton's work
@@rockfordhx2768My condolences on your father's passing.
Dam it's sad to see Detroit looking like that then and still looking like that now
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No change in so long
That's what happens when Democrats are running the city.
Yeah I use to live at 5300 Philip Street. Now I live 50 miles north of the city. no way would I even drive down that street today without an army.
@@jamesrich3426 True, Democrats are to blame, but Republicans are running Indianapolis, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, West Virginia, Kentucky, the Dakotas, and people are still suffering from poverty, and urban and rural decay. Democrats and Republicans work for one group of people, the upper echelon. They give gentrification and no taxes for corporations and the rich, and gross overpayments and prison time for poor people who can't pay their taxes.
I was born May 1976, almost 47 y.o. and there's still many neighborhoods in the city that looks like this. They were right when they said "history repeats itself!"
Mike Wallace, probably one of, if not the best investigative journalist ever, not afraid to get right to the point AND in your face , especially if the person being questioned tried to avoid a direct answer. Wallace would Zap you good!
CBS news don't do reporting like that today!
That’s when men were MEN.
A lot of these homes went bad because no one made sure to keep up with the roofs regardless of who owned it. Tarps or anything like it would have saved them. Most of the houses in these poor communities would still be standing. But once you let water in the home it won't take but a few months to look like trash. Then the city spends just as much tearing it down as it would have cost to save it, ending up with an empty lot.
This is still going on in the city of Detroit in 2019
Yes it is. However rich young pros are gentrifying the once black and blighted ghettos and make their theirs. Take a look at Brush Park.

You would think that after this....THINGS WOULD BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT !!!! Instead...the world has seen this happen...and we act like it AIN'T NO THING !!!!! Whatever move God is going to make in the future....There's going to be plenty of evil to pull up when He does.
@@jacobtennyson9213 damn thats fucking shady same in Denver Colorado the early Diversity neighborhoods are now being a open market for Californians texans abd other developers
@@juanchavez8444 well it's brush park would be a field if new citizens didn't save it. The population of Detroit is poor as shit. There is no way the people that live there now will fix the homes. Especially when they've been making the houses look worse and worse year after year. They are not magically next year gonna say let's fix up a house where only 4 other houses other exist and the rest are either fields or burnt down from arson.
:(
Putting new shingles on a house that is going to be demolished
Now that’s corruption at its finest!
thats what government does with our money. every time.
Wow!!!!! this is why your content is so relevant and important...
40 something years later Detroit still looks the same
I've just learned it looked the same 40 years AGO!
Lol, its way worse now and you know it.
Detroit is a much smaller city in population now.
nigtmare
Hasn't changed much. Except instead of 10 houses on the block now it's 2 or 3
I wasn't born yet, but if this was the "Spirit of 76" then 86, 96, 06, 16 jeez is it possible Detroit will ever recover? Keep hope alive for 2026?
To be honest it would probably be an exercise in futility because while the majority of the blighted houses and apartment buildings have been either renovated or demolished; there are still signs that Detroit has a long way to go in terms of turning the city around. I have often heard that if Detroit had an all Republican city council and a Republican mayor in charge the city would improve; but I am extremely skeptical of this.
Detroit is a rough and tough city, beautiful in its own way. It has one of the largest souls of a city that I've ever seen. I have nothing but love for it...
@Chill Will Until Americans stop worshipping political parties like Democrats and Republicans, the government will continue to run cities into the ground and rebuild them as playgrounds for the rich only aka gentrification.
@Chill Will You're absolutely correct, great thoughts.
I agree with you. I believe it’s a complex situation. There are many who did not want it to succeed.
Poverty, crime, no hope, over sexualized, lack of education
@@businesslp3027 highest auto rates in the nation, no infrastructure, crumbling roads, high taxes, gotta love Detroit
Thanks so much for reposting this episode!
Leave it up to the government to make a bad situation worse.
This is what socialism leads to.
Can you imagine how angry the people in this story would be if they knew that 50 years into the future, Detroit would be in an even worse condition.
sounds like you stay outside of detroit
I actually have more faith in the city of Detroit now than I ever have. Duggan is doing the right thing. We must keep corruption OUT of Wayne County for good
They the ones that created the issue...fake rage
Notice how they made the "victims" white and the Hud reps black. Lol.....classic bullshit
You people... ??
The saying goes back in the day, if you walked into your office and Mike Wallace was sitting there, you knew you were in trouble!
Wow. This is the first time I've looked at the channel. Subscribed and will check out the archives. Thank you for this.
This is the best channel! So much good content!
This is definitely the best site on utube
Thank you for so many great videos
I grew up in Detroit in the 70s & 80s. Great sense of community. Awesome memories.
Where? I never seen you
43 years later.................................................?????
Literally the same. Native Detroiter here
One of the best channel's on RUclips!!!
Shocking for many, but if you’ve read the articles written by Strong Towns (Chuck Marohn), you can easily see what Detroit is the first to fall apart.
Detroit was incrementally built up over time and when the automobile started being built in large numbers in Detroit; the city began experimenting with the automobile. Detroit is the first city to have people live out in the suburbs, commute by car to the downtown for work, and then commute back home after work. Detroit is the first American city to demolish public buildings, parks etc. to make way for lots of surface parking lots. Detroit is also the first city to expand road capacity for 6 lanes of car traffic.
To conclude, when you sprawl everything out, you decrease the tax base and increase the amount of liabilities you’re obligated to maintain.
I love your channel. You have some amazing videos. I really appreciate these kinds of uploads. Im old enough to remember life before the internet, but too young to remember the 70's. This stuff has been going on in Detroit for a long, long time. It's interesting to see this stuff happening decades ago. The problems really run very deep.
Explains a lot, don't it?
A
You can still drive through this museum today.
$200 down???? I wished houses were still 200 down. More like 40k down
Detroit Landbank has auctions every year, you can get a moldy lead asbestos fixer upper without utilities and fixtures for real cheap!
When I brought my house in GA in 2007 I put absolutely nothing down. Til this day I don't understand how that was possible.
@@FaithandNova VA loans are zero down.
Born and raised 70s-80s Southwest. Across the street from Beard Elementary School. So sad how Detroit just kept getting worse and worse. 💔
I lived at Beard and Lafayette back in the 70s.
@@kblopp Our family moved out for good around 1982.
@@kblopp Well it may have been closer to 84, but I didn't go to school in D after 1982 I believe.
I grew up on Otsego between Elmhurst and Burlingame, "Dexter Elmhurst 48204" in the 60's and 70's was a GREAT Place to grow up until the Heroin Scourge of the late 70's.
any shady person knows an fears that reporters voice , reporting for the people ,a national treasure. mike had our backs
The decline of Detroit has been a long, long time progressing, even through good times in the auto industry. Build new buildings and houses and they are often occupied by bad or incompetent people.
The sad reality is that bad matter must be flushed out of the toilet before you scrub it or it stays soiled.
Shit has not changed in 44 years 😨
Back then detroit was a motherfucking hot mess then and still is a hot mess now
Isaiah Winbrone Yeah well they vote I the same people with the same ideas every year
Lol
I had NO IDEA that Detroit had abandoned properties & foreclosure issues back in the 1970s! 😳 I thought that those problems had started in the 1980s or something....
After the riots people started leaving
@@RoCK3rAD before....many white families started moving to suburbs in the 50s
I thought the same too
People started leaving the city in the late 50s to be honest. Once the auto plants started opening in different parts of the state and country, the tax bases left as well. Detroit was gonna be screwed, riots or not. We're a part of the Rust Belt
So many people like to believe that the 1967 riots are the catalyst for the decline of Detroit, MI; but the riots were more of an accelerant than the catalyst. Detroit's decline is often considered to have started in 1944 as that year the city's mayor Edward Jeffries lobbied Congress for federal funds to build expressways leading out of Detroit to the suburbs.
man where do you find this shit all these old news reports are awsome.....
Detroit looks good back then....you should see it now.
Yes let's let the Federal government run our Healthcare. The government runs things so smoothly after all 🙄
Thank you to *Hezakya* for this timeless content
Everyone sounds like a news anchor
I swear that’s how everybody talked back the
3:32 it's the Six Flags commercial geezer back when he was only 80 lmfao
LMAO YOOOOO
you’re a fool bro 😂🤣😂
White flight, all solid white middle class neighbourhoods once upon a time. Never ever recovered.
This is what happens when people don't care about their community.
Did you watch the video? The FHA hustled people into bad homes and speculators were making huge amounts of money as they ripped people off. People care, but when you have zero equity on a crap home, a smart person doesn’t throw good money after bad, so they leave.
@@corneliusalterego6527 Lmao! That DOES NOT create a bad neighborhood, town, city!
@@Da_Fonz Are you the spokesman for the willfully obtuse? Because you're certainly fitting the job description. Congratulations!
Wow! Carl Levin was young! I remember the houses on Philip. Those houses were whack!
Lol my father stayed on Phillips Street for years it looks like an open Farm area over there now
This happened all over the country in black communities, add in the "redlining" and u see the roots of what inner cities have become🤔
This is after redlining. Mike wallace said it in the beginning “in 1968 the federal government decicded to approve mortgages to poor people”. Revisionist history , it should be black people.
Just 10 years prior these neighborhoods were clean and livable. This is how fast the population changed after the 1967 riots. that house at 6:48 was only around 12 years old when this aired.
Most people tend to frequently blame the 1967 riots in Detroit as the catalyst for the city's decline, but the riots were more of an accelerant than the catalyst. The actual catalyst for the decline of Detroit can be traced back to 1944 as that year the city's mayor Edward Jeffries lobbied Congress for federal funds to build expressways leading out of Detroit to the suburbs. Others also cite the 1943 riots in Detroit; which were started by two separate rumors: in the black community the story was that two white men shot and killed a black mother and her child before throwing their bodies into the Detroit River. In the white community, the story was that two black men had raped and beaten a white woman. The latter angered the white community to the point where they essentially declared war on the black residents of Detroit and had open season if you will on them. The 1943 riots in Detroit aren't as well-known as the 1967 riots because they were largely overshadowed by World War II and the Zoot Suit riots in Los Angeles, CA the same year.
haha, ray rickman guy, wearing his super fly suit he bought from embezzling the money that was supposed to be spent on his "community".
My home sat for over 20 years before we got it to fix up! It cost only $1000 to buy it. It’s so sad how much in 2022 the houses are now so cheap!
I think the 2008 recession was worse... Or better if looking at it from an investor/opportunist standpoint. Even I bought a "livable" house through HUD in 2009 for $800 bucks on the westside (Brightmoor area) back then. Paint, carpet, cleaning, done. Even the furnace/water heater/plumbing was still intact and working. Stayed there 4 years virtually free, finished college and internship, sold the shack in 2013 for $900 bucks (paid it forward) and had saved enough money to buy a home in Bloomfield Hills, MI with cash to spare, then sold that house and moved out of Michigan completely in 2019 after a job offer. Best decision. The recessions certainly hurt many unfortunately but definitely helped some, and I'll always be grateful to be one of the people it helped. RIP Detroit, see ya.
J.P. Morgan when asked about the standard advice "Buy when its low, sell when its high." Morgan said buy when there's blood running in the streets. You seem to have taken his advice to make the worst possible moment work for you.
Great example of the effectiveness of government programs...HUD
Freaking mess.. even back then!!
Even back then they had $1 homes 😂
So interesting , to think when the report was filmed not much changed and more city’s like this are around now
Camden, NJ and Gary, IN come to mind as other examples. So sad...
1976?!?! I thought this was 2006...
I love Detroit!
Detroit Government and Michigan Auto Companies should take financial responsibility for what they have caused in Detroit.
The people are just as accountable as well. The people give power to the politicians and in turn the politicians have authority over the people. That’s how the free Government operates.
Corruption across the board
My grandpa used to work at the gm factory I think in the 40s 50s 60s 70s
45 years later, the same thing, over and over and over and over again by one party rule.
No single political party had that much power, this isn't China...but two political parties do, Democrats and Republicans. You're welcome.
Democrats are also in charge in Vermont and New Hampshire, I wonder what's different there.
I think we need to tax American companies making products in other countries to influence them to come back to the US. Then we can hire and train the out of work Hollywood actors and writers to work in the factories finally making them productive.
1:12 of course that house has an owner. One with four legs and white fur
This was bad the worst was yet to come we just didn't know it. The factories and jobs went away. I miss old Detroit and the sense of community we took for granted.
The only constant is corruption...
8:07 I love how they show those kids walking - was waiting for them to say "you see here the security contractors"
My city!! Love you Detroit!
1976:
2022: Nothing has changed
It,s not the people, but the one thing I absolutely HATE is the never-ending Michigan Winters!!
Just like the great recession of 2008.
I think 2008 was worse... Or better if looking at it from an investor/opportunist standpoint. Even I bought a "livable" house through HUD in 2009 for $800 bucks on the westside (Brightmoor area) back then. Paint, carpet, cleaning, done.

The recessions hurt many but definitely helped some. RIP Detroit, see ya.
I hope this happens to every city over 100.000 people in america!!
This will be L.A., San Fran, Portland and Seattle soon...
It will probably happen a lot quicker in Seattle and Portland because of how much it rains in these cities. The frequent rain will generate the growth of black mold.
Detoilet is never coming back. The proposal to turn it into farmland sounds like a good idea.
...but would you eat anything grown there? Go Red Wings!
Be quite Karen husband.. worry abt metro Detroit (suburbs) ...
I agree. Certain areas will never come back they need to rethink everythingggg.
That wasn't "good intentions".. EVER.
2019 it is even worse nothing changed but downtown.
I grew up in Southfield. It still looks great. But I moved to Los Angeles in 1977. Never going back!
I love Detroit.
That white cat ♥️
Thank you, Mike Wallace, always was direct and trying. To squeeze the truth out of an interview subject. His son, Chris, I think is on Fox News, still?
His son doesn't even compare to Mike Wallace
Those densely pack streets like they show on Philips Street where the houses are literally 3ft from each other now, are all gone. It’s just open fields for miles
Some of these houses still look nice
1:19 Hood Cat ✊
Nothing has changed.
All these houses are gone now.
Problem was the de-industrialization of America, end of strong unions, and improper government reaction
Unions was the main reason the companies left
When Reporters went for the jugular. and hounded the creeps 24/7 .
He was on Rickman's ass and I love it.
Little did they know it would get worse
That's crazy. I lived in Detroit for my whole life I still do
In 1976 city was in decay but not too bad like now
Most of these houses shown are all gone. They all got torched on Detroit's " Devils Night!"
Lack of personal responsibility AAAND professional corruption contributed to this. Even in the 70s this was building. I suspect that it was an evil spirit that was on this city...and it won !!!!!!!! THIS was the start of what we see today !!!!!
This just happened in 2008-2011
"what we have is people we hired to do the job are doing a good job...". Sir, That's called mismanagement. And to say that these homes were "probably boarded up...." 🙄
Classic Detroit that still goes on today. Now its the land bank. Nobody takes responsibility and people that dont live in the city continue to benefit from its demise.
A lot of this is now illegal thanks to new federal regulations, but it's sad that this was normal in cities. Not just in Detroit, but also New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, etc
I wish I could buy a house in Austin Texas! for the same price as houses in Detroit!.
Wow so sad
KING ACID
7:16 blood all over the walls.
