    Totally agree about the single parent statement. I'm so proud of my mom. After my father left, the only place we could afford was in a terrible neighborhood. She worked three jobs to get us out of there and into a better area. She used to tell me that no one should look at us or hear us and know we were poor. Just because you don't have money doesn't mean that you can go around without common decency and manners.

Nobody's getting shot every day, graduation rate is way higher than he stated , not where it should be but waaaaaay better than he said , and rent is not cheap. That's why I know someone told him that bullshit instead of doing the research himself. I live in Camden , I don't live in Whitman Park, I have family that live there so I have first hand knowledge of the goings on there. He also failed to mention that they're white folks who live in the Whitman Park area that's been there 40-50 years I guess his people didn't tell that part.. If it was that bad them white folks would have left along time ago. FACTS!!!!!!!!!😠😠😷😷

    Being born and raised in Detroit i can tell you that people brag about being from these places because that's all you have. Thinking positive isn't an option because there is nothing positive about living in these areas. The only way to fix these places is to change the way these people think. School, opening a business, etc isn't something that these people can fathom. The Marine Corps is how I got out and changed my way of thinking. We need to somehow make these people believe in the American dream. That anyone from anywhere can make it if you put in the work. No amount of government hand outs will fix anything going on in these communities. What they need is information about different avenues to become successful.

      It all starts with education. Downtrodden people can't start new and competitive businesses (to create local jobs and thus increase overall prosperity of the region) without knowledge of 1) how to operate a business and 2) innovation to become competitive. In order to get that knowledge, education is required. The biggest problem is that people in these regions are ignorant (and I don't say "ignorant" to denigrate them, just ignorance in the general sense of lacking knowledge and awareness) that they don't even realize that they should be demanding (with pitchforks and torches in hand) local and state government investment in public education. The neglect of public education in the US should be viewed as criminal.

She wanted an intersection to know exactly where I was. I looked up and told her 5 mile and Woodward and she shouted over the phone *GO NORTH NOW!* and I was freaked out. She said not to stop at red lights if you see "windshield washers" head out to you when you slow down and if you see a crime, just turn your head and keep going. It was like a movie escape.

    Camden. Got lost trying to move to Georgia. Ran into a cop and asked directions. He asked where I came from. I told him. He said, "I have a shotgun, and I don't drive through there."

    This is what happens when big businesses move jobs overseas. We used to have tariffs that took away the financial incentive for moving jobs. Build a car overseas for one quarter the price? No problem, we would just tack on an import tariff that would level the price with cars built in the US. Not anymore, though. The laws have changed. Outside the US, you can buy cheap labor. Inside the US, you can buy cheap politicians.

    I'm from Cleveland Ohio but my family moved to Minnesota when I was young. Never been to Cincinnati, but every year or 2 we visit my extended family back in Cleveland. There are literally clothes I cannot wear there, either because they are too nice or because they may be perceived as gang association. The street my grandma lives on looks like it is stuck in time in the 1970s. It is very common to see boarded up windows on dilapidated buildings. Stray dogs and cats run rampant. One time I was with my mom and grandpa in a car. My grandpa stopped at a gas station and I hopped out of the car to smoke a cigarette. By the time I got halfway through the cigarette, 3 different people walked up to me and asked me for a cigarette. One guy even came from across the street. I gave the last guy the rest of my cig and hopped back in the car.

That was the year after they’d begun having hit records and were so busy touring that they hadn’t yet moved out of Detroit’s Brewster projects where they’d grown up. The record label made the down payments, but the group members were responsible for paying their mortgages.

      Those that benefit from welfare the most are White citizens. However, investment or tax dollars are not removed from White neighborhoods, giving more of an appearance of being better as those in White neighborhoods receive the assistance. Another example is Wall Street, which receives welfare but is classified as supplement income. In other words, if welfare dollars are give, while removing investment and tax dollars for infrastructure, you will end up with "bad neighborhoods." This is done purposely so the powers that be can move into that neighborhood for cheap, bringing investment and tax dollars. Running people of that community out. This is the pattern of U.S.A. neighborhoods.

No urban sprawl, families living where their grandfather's BUILT and farmed, so plenty of respect for hard earned housing means low crime, intolerance for any b.s., and expectations of neighbors not acting like animals. When you come from those that created and built the community where you live, you appreciate it, and take care of it. Many towns which have been here for 200 years are still thriving and nice places to live.

The town I lived in often had killings but I never worried as I was not a criminal, drug addict or drug dealer so I had no worries. I now live in a town with little to no crime, one of my better decisions. Need my property values to go up and have good schools for my kids.
