Again, a lot of those “big homes” are multi-family homes. It doesn’t take away from the rest of your point but most people in Detroit didn’t have big ass houses all to themselves
I work up there and from what I hear, the taxes are ridiculous. I'm assuming even if you wanted to fix one up it'd be nearly impossible to afford to live there. It's a shame we can give billions to other countries for the exact same thing that's happening in our own. I cant understand the litter and trash everywhere. Some of the piles I've drove by look like they've been there for months or longer.
I lived on a street like this on Alter Rd, age birth to 3 years old. I always thank God and my dad for getting us out of there in 1967 after the big riot.
Go visit please!! They said how the Southside of Chicago was so crazy and messed up. I didn't see it! The media will show you what they want you to see. I live in Charleston SC now and baby let me tell you. Plenty of areas look like people built the house they self without knowledge of. So bring them cameras here please.
There are still stunningly beautiful parts of the city,and a very vibrant downtown.You just don’t see much of that in RUclips.Still a long way to go but progress is being made.
I was just in Detroit last June 2024 and that is what is happening. Community parks and mini farms, greenhouses springing up. Quite green and lots of open spaces.
I grew up around here just east of where the video begins. Hasse and Davison , there's nothing left, the houses are burnt down. It looks like a jungle you can't see sidewalks or the alley. When I grew up it was beautiful, you could play in the alley or the street. How times have changed. so sad
There are still beautiful parts of Detroit.Don’t let the ruin porn fool you. Go to Palmer Woods,Indian Village,University District to name a few amazing neighborhoods within the city limits.All of what you see is true but there is so much more you don’t see that would surprise you in a good way.Detroit has some of the most amazing architecture left in America.Some of the old homes are true works of art.js
@@puertoricangringo3144 I agree, but the problem with beautiful areas such as Palmer woods etc is that they are surrounded by battle grounds of crime and violence, such as Woodward ave and Highland Park!
The real shame of all this is that before "white flight" in the 1950's and 60's these were all beautiful well kept up neighborhoods... Gee,I wonder what happened?
@@shirley9209 why even question where I was. Reality is prior to the riots of 1967, Detroit was a thriving metropolis full of industry, the riots, the burning buildings caused many to leave . Those who had money left, those who remained were the poor. Capiche?
Wow, so sad and completely ruined. A lot of these were such nice homes once upon a time, with whole families who lived and grew up in these places and now they're just ghosts about to be gone. Great video
If those old houses were in the heart of Atlanta , Chicago , LA , San Francisco , NYC or any other major city that's getting gentrified they would be fixed and worth a lot of money right now ...But since they're in a America's toilet bowl city they don't have a chance ..
@@blast4me754 I understand you calling it a toilet bowl, but why? Political corruption? Lost economic opportunity? 85% of the births to impoverished unwed mothers? All that is true, and contributing to the problems,but “toilet bowl” is a facile claim.
because the rich businessman & politician want more profit rather then helping their own countrymen , & politician do not care their citizen as long they have the money to put it on their pocket. that what they call u.s & western democracy.
Thats Michigan as a whole. Go to the UP and see lots of abandoned houses, towns, factories. Michigan doesn't care about blight like other states. They just let it rot. I live 500 miles north(still in Michigan but past the mackinac bridge) and my neighborhood looks about the same. Trash everywhere, old buildings caving in, spray paint, potholes, bullet holes in signs.
Do you think it's because it is Dems running it now i know the car manufacturing left i live in Cleveland and when the steel company's left. Cleveland decide lots of neighborhoods look like this and we have a leftists city leaders
Have you ever noticed the majority of the houses being saved are brick and mortar? Not the buildings built using framing and sidings of various descriptions, there is a major lesson in that, also roof construction is a major factor on the longevity of a building. Ticy tacky McMansions are not worth much in reality.
@@Right-Is-Right Detroit has lost thousands of brick bungalows. Detroit was once a more prosperous city than most of the U.S. Modern houses with synthetic based water and air barriers ought to endure well, although the newer materials have not yet been proven long term. When properly installed and inspected the newer houses should have a long life. Replacing asphalt with polymers ought to make shingled roofs last longer, but metal roof generally last longer than shingles A steeper pitch roof with larger overhang can help prevent water damage. Even the best constructed home needs regular maintenance.
@@timothykeith1367 The only thing you forget is the inspection you mention and the following maintained you do not, such as painting timber siding adds to the overall cost of the home. Making the modern crap you push more expensive over the life of the home. then you still have the problem that the thin shitty materials being pushed are not worth the price they demand and are not good at standing up to storms, adding even more to the lifetime costs. I forgot to mention, I work in the construction industry and would be pushing the newer crap if I was in it for the money, But I prefer to deliver a product to get recommendations for work, not yearly maintenance fees from suckers, that does not seem right.
They know that it's much more profitable to build houses in a new city and have them abandon the old city (creating an avalanche effect) than it is to genuinly improve the old community and therefore the quality of lives of the people who live there. Sad when you think about the memories made in each house and the families that passed through them and the stories they hold. And now they rot like ruins of an ancient world.
Im 59 , I live in Rochester MI. 25 miles north of this shit hole. The jobs went to the suburbs, the very corrupt Coleman Young/Kwame Kilpatrick ruined the rest of this mess. I am a Realtor, I worked for the banks from 2005-2012 selling these properties to investors for less than 2k! It all went back to this crap when the neighborhoods worth it were cannibalized when the rehabs the Chinese investors started were ruined. It all royally sucks!
I’ve seen a clip Somewhere on you tube that does back in the day and find the same street / spot now. Really sad and the place fell to pieces in. Like 15 years…. As soon as the factories closed. Really good lessons in history. The clip is there search Anton speed Detroit timeline and also others blight then and now / before and after comparisons … it should be in the results - u will know it when u see it
So many people spent there whole working life in the public and private sector, in and around Detroit but when they retired they took there retirement and pension checks and moved out of state and are no longer a part of the tax base. Many of those old homes have good lumber and other building material That can be used in new buildings. the way that building material has increased in cost it could be cost effective.
When my dad saved enough he moved us from the projects of Cincinnati to a neighborhood in Detroit just like these. Those homes were beautiful. If you haven't seen pictures from the 70s then you have no way of knowing. Once that neighborhood took on more welfare hood types and went down he moved us to another neighborhood, 7 Mile. Another beauty. And in 10yrs it went down too. Now, most of Detroit looks like this. At 18 I broke the hell out and didn't look back.
Ironically their love of the automobile was one of the primary reasons they ended up as they are now. It wasn't so much the welfare queens that like to have too many children on one income, they are the effect, the main cause was the deindustrialization of inner-city Detroit and then white flight that occurred which meant that the cities tax base, and most of the main employers, all left. The city's only claim to fame was the car industry, and once foreign car markets proved to make better cars, that killed GM, Chrysler, and Lincoln, and thus, Detroit. Once those companies failed, white flight to suburbs occurred. The other issue was building freeways which meant that white Americans didn't have to live in the city at all to work. Instead, they can commute which further hurt Detroit's economy. Lack of public transportation infrastructure also meant that living in the city was not convenient enough for most people which lead to further abandonment. It was death by overreliance on a dying industry, sheer incompetency, complacency by American car companies since they failed to innovate, and a decrease in population that led to Detroit being the shit hole that it is today.
@@colechapman6976 are you kidding me ? you are completely wrong about this, the reason you mentioned is only one of the many reasons why people fled to the suburbs. I am sorry but your comment has a undertone of hatred against cars. stop with your propaganda bullshit. Cars are here to stay. we need them. my job requires that I have a 4x4 truck with a range in gas far exceeding that of any electric car/truck . If government outlaws combustion engine vehicles its my whole livelihood that goes with it
Your dad had a work ethic along with the desire to better himself and his family. Welfare defeats that work ethic and makes people dependent on government. They believe success is measured by how cool your car looks.
If you believe it, the houses in Detroit was once put together alot better then the houses of today, the old timers put pride in their work rather then fast ass jobs.
And just to think there was a time when those houses were new and people were super happy to live there , this is 100% the result of the political party in charge of that area , when the politicians blame someone else and play the victim agenda .
@@robertosandoval9094 We give 10 trillion a decade to our military with no pushback. Yet, they've trained everyone to say we're broke. You know what 10 trillion every decade can do for this society? We would have floating cities by now. Instead, since the 70s, we've moved 50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%.
Can't believe the amount of garbage every where. It looks like at one time it was a nice place to live. Think the partial burned houses would at least be demolished.
What is it like to live in neighborhoods like this today? There were a few homes that offered a little glimpse of what Detroit was and maybe could be. They were always followed by seemingly endless boarded up, burned out hulks surrounded by mounds of trash and debris. We ask the people who live there to "pull themselves up." How hard is that really? Could you do it? I didn't grow up in Detroit but in another rust belt city. The same thing happened. Industry collapsed and the jobs evaporated. The home that was my family's from about 1910, in a solidly middle-class neighborhood, was torn down, the lot plowed over. It breaks my heart to see my old street. You can blame politicians or big companies. There's plenty of blame for them. But we did it to ourselves, too. What did we do to stop it? Who bought the foreign cars? The phones from China? The clothes from India? The shoes from Vietnam? We did. By doing that, WE exported those jobs that kept cities like Detroit thriving. There's a saying: Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind. We have the crop we planted. If we want to make it better, we need to make better choices. And demand our leaders make better choices. And we need to stop thinking of ourselves and start thinking of our children and their children and their children and on.
Whats most weird for me is a sequence of abandoned houses and then a single clean and nice house with car like you are the only person living in the whole block
I’d like to imagine that at one point in time, these areas were striving and full of life. Those homes were once filled with laughter and love. Shits sad
I grew up in Detroit until I was 14. A year after the riots we moved to the suburbs along with many others. I've gone back only to find empty blocks where there were bustling neighborhoods. So many kids out playing. I can't tell you what a beautiful city Detroit was in the 50's and 60's. It hurts my heart to see what it has become.
My daughters father is from here and currently still lives there , my daughter and I are from Florida and I see now she will not be moving to Detroit ,this changed it ALOT
I looked up the street names... I was born at st. john's hospital. mom and dad and grandparents lived there in the area you're driving around. went to school with family member of randazzo's fruit market... Used to be pretty nice place to live. Later we moved up Schoehnerr Rd. into Warren. Sad to watch the death of Detroit...
itd be interesting if you drove around the neighborhoods near hamtramck. the houses are all run down and they're squeezed in together so tight you can't even walk between two houses sideways, it's the weirdest thing ive ever seen as a non urbanite
I don't know why but your videos in a weird way are therapeutic. Probably due to my nostalgic feelings towards that city. In a future video please drive up Beland street right across from Mt Olivet Cemetery. I lived there as a kid in the 80's between Sauer & Clough St.
You can tell it was good 👍🏻 these are lovely large old houses . Displacement of poor people from the south and car plant closures to foreign countries did this ‼️ and now it’s not just Detroit , so many once boom towns are failing . American politicians need to take a long hard look at their policies , spending , immigration , business , agriculture , manufacturing and housing ‼️‼️ You don’t need to be Biden , Harris or AOC to see this not working all over the country !!!
Honestly, if I was a reasonably wealthy American, I'd buy a couple of these houses as an investment. Those ruined properties are so unbelievably cheap that it's pretty much impossible for them to get any cheaper, so you might get yourself a nice profit in a decade or two, or at worst you will end up with a modest loss. It's almost free real estate.
The tree aspect. When these places were in their prime, the trees were kept. Great documentary. Each abandoned house was once a family story. There's a double garage at one point, right on the street now overgrown with vines. In its day though, whoever owned it definitely had some fun with that.
Detroit used to be called the Paris of the midwest because of all the trees. They formed a canopy over the streets. They were elm trees and were wiped out by a disease call Dutch Elm Disease. It was an invasive insect that burrowed under the bark and slowly killed the elms.
I can remember going to to my dad's favorite bar on Friday nights to cash his check , it was on 7 mile and John R. That was in the 60s , now I live on the Arizona, Mexico border in Rio Rico Arizona, two worlds apart...
You are an eastsider. Right? Go over to Grand River and Schoolcraft. Pretty bleak there too. Then do tours through Palmer Park, Indian Village, and Rosedale Park North.
It isn't just some bad neighborhoods that look like this. All of Detroit City looks like this. The suburbs aren't as bad, but Detroit itself, everything south of 8 mile, looks like this.
how about the owners of these empty buildings? in my hometown in Germany theres no chance to get a place to build a house. In detroit there is so much place but no people lol
Many of the owners died, owed taxes, or it was foreclosed. You can buy these houses for as low as $1k. Detroit has a website showing all the abandoned houses for sale.
they are largely abandoned, forfeited properties. you can buy them cheap but there are hidden rules like you must totally rehab the property quickly or they forfeit back the whole thing. there are few takers since it is extremely expensive to rehab these places to meet all code requirements and very few buyers interested in such things to recoup your money. way too risky of an investment.
Detroit's suburbs were once the envy of big city life in America. But all that changed about 55 years ago when the government started regulating business models that once made America prosperous. As regulations increased, companies started moving out of the city taking their business someplace else.
I see in other videos with the downtown section of Detroit being rebuilt but is the city going to clean up the sections you are driving it just curious
They have torn down over 10,000 houses and still have thousands to go. Cleaning up a city bigger than Boston,Manhattan,and San Francisco combined will take decades,just like it took decades to get like this.
Hey Charlie, when you gonna visit some Appalachia towns that look like this. I think it would be interesting to show people that it's not the culture of the people (which is what I think a lot of people assume), it's the fact that desperation has set in because The jobs and wages aren't there like they used to be.
if I was there jobless and "desperate" living on government money, I would spend all day cleaning and fixing this streets for free... IT IS the culture... or better yet... the rotten DNA
@@whatsupdoc9833 Then you need to go take a look because a lot of those towns look just as bad if not worse than Detroit. And you've obviously never been to a trailer park huh.
The U.S. economy has restructured with out-sourcing, off-shoring, globalization, A.I. and software programs allowing corporations to simply cut large numbers of workers. Jobs left now have no benefits, contracts & pay little... with layoffs coming as soon as HR can figure a way to run even leaner.
@@joeylawn36111 detroit biggest employers is still the same car companies and the ones thats are not thrive for the automotive industries and they still hiring and the pay is well let just say its a job
This is what happens when people move and they don’t maintain their homes. Usually the most destructive thing is the lack of roof maintenance. Once the water starts entering in, and the rest of the home starts to rot quickly. I remember the 1960s we used to observe that every neglected home had a brand new Cadillac in it. It’s recollections like mine that never make it into the history books. Instead people will re-spin the facts and try to blame somebody else. Even now, any new business that pops up in Detroit is run by an immigrant. The traders just have no desire to do the hard work of a business
Detroit looks crazy..aint hardly no bodegas(stores)on the corners, alot of open land, trash everwhere, n hardly nobody outside its like walkin dead scenery
Damn, would love to have so much space, in switzerland - Bern, where i live, i need to pay 400 for a small music room and 1400 for a small appartment. having a house like this would be the dream, nice garden, some aaple trees in it, an old wooden house... sadly there is a lot of crime going on, i guess.

I work up there and from what I hear, the taxes are ridiculous. I'm assuming even if you wanted to fix one up it'd be nearly impossible to afford to live there.

It's scared to come out 🌥️

If you were the sun or the moon why would you want to show yourself to Detroit?
Especially at 9:56 on the billboard: ""Help prevent suicide".....
People used to make great effort to move to Detroit. Look at it 70 years later.
There are still stunningly beautiful parts of the city,and a very vibrant downtown.You just don’t see much of that in RUclips.Still a long way to go but progress is being made.
Once black ppl went all out in Detroit it became the worst looking city in Michigan
With all the vacant lots, along with some of the salvageable homes, you could build up alot of urban homesteads and mini farms.
Maybe so but nobody’s wants to live there anymore
It would not be safe, unfortunately.
I was just in Detroit last June 2024 and that is what is happening. Community parks and mini farms, greenhouses springing up. Quite green and lots of open spaces.
Finding some copper in one of these homes would be like finding a balloon in a needle factory
Lmfao u said it my freind,,long gone,along with the alluminuim sidings
I grew up around here just east of where the video begins. Hasse and Davison , there's nothing left, the houses are burnt down. It looks like a jungle you can't see sidewalks or the alley. When I grew up it was beautiful, you could play in the alley or the street.

Go to Palmer Woods,Indian Village,University District to name a few amazing neighborhoods within the city limits.All of what you see is true but there is so much more you don’t see that would surprise you in a good way.Detroit has some of the most amazing architecture left in America.Some of the old homes are true works of art.js
@@puertoricangringo3144 I agree, but the problem with beautiful areas such as Palmer woods etc is that they are surrounded by battle grounds of crime and violence, such as Woodward ave and Highland Park!
The real shame of all this is that before "white flight" in the 1950's and 60's these were all beautiful well kept up neighborhoods... Gee,I wonder what happened?
Well, day turning in to night.
Hate to say the downfall started with the riots of 1967, buildings burned to the ground and those who left got out of dodge.
@@terrylynn9984 Terry Lynn, exactly during that time where were you?
67 Riots caused white flight. They took their income with them. That's what happened.
@@shirley9209 why even question where I was.
Reality is prior to the riots of 1967, Detroit was a thriving metropolis full of industry, the riots, the burning buildings caused many to leave .
Those who had money left, those who remained were the poor.
Capiche?
Wow, so sad and completely ruined. A lot of these were such nice homes once upon a time, with whole families who lived and grew up in these places and now they're just ghosts about to be gone. Great video
If those old houses were in the heart of Atlanta , Chicago , LA , San Francisco , NYC or any other major city that's getting gentrified they would be fixed and worth a lot of money right now ...But since they're in a America's toilet bowl city they don't have a chance ..
@@blast4me754 I understand you calling it a toilet bowl, but why? Political corruption? Lost economic opportunity? 85% of the births to impoverished unwed mothers? All that is true, and contributing to the problems,but “toilet bowl” is a facile claim.
because the rich businessman & politician want more profit rather then helping their own countrymen , & politician do not care their citizen as long they have the money to put it on their pocket. that what they call u.s & western democracy.
Thats Michigan as a whole. Go to the UP and see lots of abandoned houses, towns, factories. Michigan doesn't care about blight like other states. They just let it rot. I live 500 miles north(still in Michigan but past the mackinac bridge) and my neighborhood looks about the same. Trash everywhere, old buildings caving in, spray paint, potholes, bullet holes in signs.
Crap. Didn't know it was as bad in the rural Red areas up there as it is shown in Blue Detroit. I thought only the Deep South was like that.
Come into Cheboygan from Roger's City .Unreal grew up there.Was up there a couple weeks ago.Drove around Cheboygan it is a dump.
Do you think it's because it is Dems running it now i know the car manufacturing left i live in Cleveland and when the steel company's left. Cleveland decide lots of neighborhoods look like this and we have a leftists city leaders
Flint is also pretty bad too in fact worse than Detroit since there was a huge water crisis that hit 3 years ago in 2018.
I dont know where you live but it's not a sh__hole in the UP
I wish they'd make neighbourhoods like this again. Cookie cutter mcmansion-ville is getting old.
Have you ever noticed the majority of the houses being saved are brick and mortar? Not the buildings built using framing and sidings of various descriptions, there is a major lesson in that, also roof construction is a major factor on the longevity of a building. Ticy tacky McMansions are not worth much in reality.
keep voting democrat it's coming
@@Right-Is-Right Detroit has lost thousands of brick bungalows. Detroit was once a more prosperous city than most of the U.S. Modern houses with synthetic based water and air barriers ought to endure well, although the newer materials have not yet been proven long term. When properly installed and inspected the newer houses should have a long life. Replacing asphalt with polymers ought to make shingled roofs last longer, but metal roof generally last longer than shingles A steeper pitch roof with larger overhang can help prevent water damage. Even the best constructed home needs regular maintenance.
@@timothykeith1367 The only thing you forget is the inspection you mention and the following maintained you do not, such as painting timber siding adds to the overall cost of the home. Making the modern crap you push more expensive over the life of the home. then you still have the problem that the thin shitty materials being pushed are not worth the price they demand and are not good at standing up to storms, adding even more to the lifetime costs.
I forgot to mention, I work in the construction industry and would be pushing the newer crap if I was in it for the money, But I prefer to deliver a product to get recommendations for work, not yearly maintenance fees from suckers, that does not seem right.
They know that it's much more profitable to build houses in a new city and have them abandon the old city (creating an avalanche effect) than it is to genuinly improve the old community and therefore the quality of lives of the people who live there. Sad when you think about the memories made in each house and the families that passed through them and the stories they hold. And now they rot like ruins of an ancient world.
Im 59 , I live in Rochester MI. 25 miles north of this shit hole. The jobs went to the suburbs, the very corrupt Coleman Young/Kwame Kilpatrick ruined the rest of this mess. I am a Realtor, I worked for the banks from 2005-2012 selling these properties to investors for less than 2k! It all went back to this crap when the neighborhoods worth it were cannibalized when the rehabs the Chinese investors started were ruined. It all royally sucks!
It would be cool to see this same video, but from back in the day.
I’ve seen a clip Somewhere on you tube that does back in the day and find the same street / spot now. Really sad and the place fell to pieces in. Like 15 years…. As soon as the factories closed. Really good lessons in history. The clip is there search Anton speed Detroit timeline and also others blight then and now / before and after comparisons … it should be in the results - u will know it when u see it
It was ALOT whiter and cleaner
My grandfather told me years ago that couples would walk the street holding hands all hours of the night.
OH WHEN WHITE PEOPLE LIVED THERE.
I was there then every house full of love 😦
So many people spent there whole working life in the public and private sector, in and around Detroit but when they retired they took there retirement and pension checks and moved out of state and are no longer a part of the tax base. Many of those old homes have good lumber and other building material
That can be used in new buildings. the way that building material has increased in cost it could be cost effective.
When my dad saved enough he moved us from the projects of Cincinnati to a neighborhood in Detroit just like these. Those homes were beautiful. If you haven't seen pictures from the 70s then you have no way of knowing. Once that neighborhood took on more welfare hood types and went down he moved us to another neighborhood, 7 Mile. Another beauty. And in 10yrs it went down too. Now, most of Detroit looks like this. At 18 I broke the hell out and didn't look back.
If u were from the projects of Cincinnati you were the "welfare hood type" too. 🙄
Ironically their love of the automobile was one of the primary reasons they ended up as they are now. It wasn't so much the welfare queens that like to have too many children on one income, they are the effect, the main cause was the deindustrialization of inner-city Detroit and then white flight that occurred which meant that the cities tax base, and most of the main employers, all left. The city's only claim to fame was the car industry, and once foreign car markets proved to make better cars, that killed GM, Chrysler, and Lincoln, and thus, Detroit. Once those companies failed, white flight to suburbs occurred. The other issue was building freeways which meant that white Americans didn't have to live in the city at all to work. Instead, they can commute which further hurt Detroit's economy. Lack of public transportation infrastructure also meant that living in the city was not convenient enough for most people which lead to further abandonment.
It was death by overreliance on a dying industry, sheer incompetency, complacency by American car companies since they failed to innovate, and a decrease in population that led to Detroit being the shit hole that it is today.
@@colechapman6976 WOW! you are one of the rare people who are paying attention!!
@@colechapman6976 are you kidding me ? you are completely wrong about this, the reason you mentioned is only one of the many reasons why people fled to the suburbs. I am sorry but your comment has a undertone of hatred against cars. stop with your propaganda bullshit.

If government outlaws combustion engine vehicles its my whole livelihood that goes with it
Your dad had a work ethic along with the desire to better himself and his family. Welfare defeats that work ethic and makes people dependent on government. They believe success is measured by how cool your car looks.

My old neighborhood is in shambles now! During the 60s this was a resilient blue collar neighborhood!!!!! God Almighty!!!
Crazy to see how desolate Detroit has become when at a time is was one of the biggest thriving metropolis
Some of the houses looked like they would've been good in the times they were first built
Many of those homes have good bones, despite their current conditions.
If you believe it, the houses in Detroit was once put together alot better then the houses of today, the old timers put pride in their work rather then fast ass jobs.
And just to think there was a time when those houses were new and people were super happy to live there , this is 100% the result of the political party in charge of that area , when the politicians blame someone else and play the victim agenda .
imagine criticizing other countries for their problems of poverty when home is like this
Imagine giving to other countries when home is like this. #LetsGoBrandon

@@robertosandoval9094 We give 10 trillion a decade to our military with no pushback. Yet, they've trained everyone to say we're broke.
You know what 10 trillion every decade can do for this society? We would have floating cities by now.
Instead, since the 70s, we've moved 50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%.
Can't believe the amount of garbage every where. It looks like at one time it was a nice place to live. Think the partial burned houses would at least be demolished.
The rich white congressmen who criticize other countries' poverty think that places like these ARE other countries
What is it like to live in neighborhoods like this today? There were a few homes that offered a little glimpse of what Detroit was and maybe could be. They were always followed by seemingly endless boarded up, burned out hulks surrounded by mounds of trash and debris. We ask the people who live there to "pull themselves up." How hard is that really? Could you do it?
I didn't grow up in Detroit but in another rust belt city. The same thing happened. Industry collapsed and the jobs evaporated. The home that was my family's from about 1910, in a solidly middle-class neighborhood, was torn down, the lot plowed over. It breaks my heart to see my old street.
You can blame politicians or big companies. There's plenty of blame for them. But we did it to ourselves, too. What did we do to stop it? Who bought the foreign cars? The phones from China? The clothes from India? The shoes from Vietnam? We did. By doing that, WE exported those jobs that kept cities like Detroit thriving.
There's a saying: Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind. We have the crop we planted.
If we want to make it better, we need to make better choices. And demand our leaders make better choices. And we need to stop thinking of ourselves and start thinking of our children and their children and their children and on.
Whats most weird for me is a sequence of abandoned houses and then a single clean and nice house with car like you are the only person living in the whole block
I’d like to imagine that at one point in time, these areas were striving and full of life. Those homes were once filled with laughter and love. Shits sad
I grew up in Detroit until I was 14. A year after the riots we moved to the suburbs along with many others. I've gone back only to find empty blocks where there were bustling neighborhoods. So many kids out playing. I can't tell you what a beautiful city Detroit was in the 50's and 60's. It hurts my heart to see what it has become.

Thank your democrats / communists
itd be interesting if you drove around the neighborhoods near hamtramck. the houses are all run down and they're squeezed in together so tight you can't even walk between two houses sideways, it's the weirdest thing ive ever seen as a non urbanite
I don't know why but your videos in a weird way are therapeutic. Probably due to my nostalgic feelings towards that city. In a future video please drive up Beland street right across from Mt Olivet Cemetery. I lived there as a kid in the 80's between Sauer & Clough St.
Wow Ben Crandall! I also lived on Beland, off of 7 mile!
When trash is put on the curb in most Towns, the city picks up the trash. Why is Detroit not picking up the trash in this area? Thanks very much.
I wonder how some of those streets looked like in their heyday.
Not like this.....(born and raised)
I know it was beautiful, clean and prosper. Is sanding and heartbreaking, what a disaster.
You can tell it was good 👍🏻 these are lovely large old houses . Displacement of poor people from the south and car plant closures to foreign countries did this ‼️ and now it’s not just Detroit , so many once boom towns are failing . American politicians need to take a long hard look at their policies , spending , immigration , business , agriculture , manufacturing and housing ‼️‼️ You don’t need to be Biden , Harris or AOC to see this not working all over the country !!!
🏍️ Just drive over to a white neighborhood nearby. Take a look. 👀
This looked like a nice, prosperous neighborhood once upon a time. All went downhill when Detroit lost it's claim of being the world car capital.
Honestly, if I was a reasonably wealthy American, I'd buy a couple of these houses as an investment. Those ruined properties are so unbelievably cheap that it's pretty much impossible for them to get any cheaper, so you might get yourself a nice profit in a decade or two, or at worst you will end up with a modest loss. It's almost free real estate.
yeah, but how do you get rid of the chocolate neighbors ? do you like gunshots at 3 am ?
You would spend more money trying to keep it together that’s the problem. Detroit needs jobs that’s the only thing that will bring the people back.
The problem is city taxes and insurance costs are exorbitant.
@@fft2020 you get slapped up in front of your kids, no one cares what you have to say shhh lol
There's a huge housing shortage, sad to see these gorgeous homes that have been left to fall apart

Would love to know what it looked 50 years ago and the demographic then.
Is it just me or at 7:34 to 7:35 you cocked a gun , I mean I don’t blame you though🤣🤣
The tree aspect. When these places were in their prime, the trees were kept. Great documentary. Each abandoned house was once a family story. There's a double garage at one point, right on the street now overgrown with vines. In its day though, whoever owned it definitely had some fun with that.
Detroit used to be called the Paris of the midwest because of all the trees. They formed a canopy over the streets. They were elm trees and were wiped out by a disease call Dutch Elm Disease. It was an invasive insect that burrowed under the bark and slowly killed the elms.
It’s nice to see some of the houses getting fixed up!

It isn't just some bad neighborhoods that look like this. All of Detroit City looks like this. The suburbs aren't as bad, but Detroit itself, everything south of 8 mile, looks like this.
how about the owners of these empty buildings? in my hometown in Germany theres no chance to get a place to build a house. In detroit there is so much place but no people lol
no people ? dont you see them there in the video ?
Many of the owners died, owed taxes, or it was foreclosed. You can buy these houses for as low as $1k. Detroit has a website showing all the abandoned houses for sale.
they are largely abandoned, forfeited properties. you can buy them cheap but there are hidden rules like you must totally rehab the property quickly or they forfeit back the whole thing. there are few takers since it is extremely expensive to rehab these places to meet all code requirements and very few buyers interested in such things to recoup your money. way too risky of an investment.
Detroit's suburbs were once the envy of big city life in America. But all that changed about 55 years ago when the government started regulating business models that once made America prosperous. As regulations increased, companies started moving out of the city taking their business someplace else.
Nonsense. Regulation affects ALL cities and very few look like the bombed out hell hole that Detroit is. You have no idea WTF you are talking about.
With a little imagination, one may envision how charming these neighbors used to be.

This is what happens when people move and they don’t maintain their homes. Usually the most destructive thing is the lack of roof maintenance. Once the water starts entering in, and the rest of the home starts to rot quickly. I remember the 1960s we used to observe that every neglected home had a brand new Cadillac in it. It’s recollections like mine that never make it into the history books. Instead people will re-spin the facts and try to blame somebody else.
