In Detroit factories have moved overseas to scoop up cheaper labour. Former assembly workers now freeze on the streets after losing their homes. These are the forgotten ghosts of an economic crisis.
More than 15,000 are homeless in the city. "There's no work in Michigan... all you see is vacant houses," explains one destitute resident. White papers in windows are a sign of eviction. Bored teens beat up the handicapped homeless. "People have been dying and it has become regular. They freeze. Its just a bunch of chaos, its sad, sad."

If I had the money, i would open up businesses in the inner part of Detroit and create American jobs. If i were a rich man, id give back and start with Detroit. In the meantime all i,can do is pray for Detroit.
John Ritcher you have a good heart
Mario Gonzalez I agree to a point but it’s not an IQ problem but an attitude problem.as long as you carry a victim attitude with a chip on your shoulder all you’ll ever be is an angry victim with a shitty attitude waiting for the very people you curse to come and fix it
Detroit is a major city with this problem however many people and cities face this outrageous tragedy. It's not going to get better and this is what it is. I have been homeless before and will be soon again and eating out of dumpsters and taking up space at a shelter but hey, that's why I paid taxes for 45 years for security in old age. Life on the streets is going to become more and more common and this is what it is.
Hi!
How are you? I am sorry to hear with what has gone in your life.
Stay in touch.
Regards,
It's rough and I'm from Detroit Not a place you want to live. Detroit has lots of potential to rebuild it'self but will get worse before it gets better. This is what happens when you allow democrats to run for your state. Unfortunately, I used to be the clueless liberal now I'm an informed conservative. Thank God

You're absolutely right... Kansas is a good model for everyone to copy.
Sam Brownback with a full republican legislature applied their ideology in the form of laws and tax codes. Look it up and see how well it worked out for Kansas.
Yes ma'm! Youre so right too.
Wow, I've never seen a theater turned into a parking garage. Looked like a beautiful building at one time.
I'd really like to see some newer Journeyman Pictures docs, please.
Detroit my hometown but sad sad city
The world's problems never get fixed unless they affect the rich. Fact
Democrats in charge
I notice most refuse to keep their place clean.
John Mastrangel you should know coming from the caucus mountains you sorry bitch!
Yeah like on the streets of California with “most people not of color” brining back diseases from the 1800s because of their filthy living conditions. Please stop assuming things because of race, this is about poverty.
I notice your ignorance
A superpower. Can't they spend a few billions fixing this? Politicians would approve billions for weapons though
The money would just get stolen by the politicians corrupt Mayors city council workers
Honestly, still a really beautiful city. It's haunting in its dilapidation, but it has a soul and an atmosphere that I find captivating.
When homeless always go to the warmer states
So freakin SAD 😞 in USA
i could make a video that makes even the best city look terrible......i have never seen more homeless people than in California..OMG...literally a few thousand in one place huddled under the freeways.... way worse than Detroit.
GOOD .....you win.
I study Economics under a Masters Of Economics and ....ALL....of America is BROKE from money printing and breaking away from Gold.
If you have 15 credit cards you look rich but eventually you end up bankrupt.
This is a new world and the WORST time since ROME fell when they had too many armies.
You have 54 million on food stamps and by 2022 you will have 100 million on food stamps.
The Government will run out of old age pension payments by 2030.
Find a new country ....if you learn a trade like plumbing we will accept you in Canada.
Find out which trades we are short of in Canada.
You must have a clean record and a young body ........all our trades people are 50 and older so the future is here.
BRUCE LEE yeah, go to Canada where its cold as death, taxes are insanely high, the towns are literally hours apart, new products are always late in reaching the Canadian markets and if you get sick, you must wait until youre damn near dead before you are treated,....yeah sounds great...... if youre an Eskimo!..lol
kareem Saaidi
I will give you COLD from October to April.
Our taxes are 1/3 your rate and we get medical.
If I have a heart attack right now I will be rushed into surgery in 15 minutes.

AMERICA is dead for the next 30 years of the GREATEST DEPRESSION on earth.
YOU will be living in a 3rd world HELL for 30 years.
People will die like Obama care.
*****
That made sense.
Let's not forget corporations too.
The opening song is all one needs to know about what happened to Detroit.
How times have changed. Now Downtown Detroit is beautiful and busy. Ford is remodeling the old train station, and there's help wanted signs all over the place 😆
The original date of this documentary in 2008 .. that's a few mayors, governors and presidents ago.
Detroit and Michigan in general are in a lot better condition than we were 9 years ago.
The most very impressive Citi of U.S. is Detroit.The U.S. should every day celebrate this Town -from where came the most brutto income before corruption broke down the industrial capital town?!!-Hommage to Detroit-i believe you get back what you gave...more glamourous you can imagine!Love to U and the awesome People!
Detroit has become something similar to that of Robocop
RIP Detroit
Carls Steak House looks filthy. Thats the reason they are empty
This place looks like the nightmarish vision of the future from John Carpenter's 1981 Escape From New York, with the alternate time line version of Marty McFly's town from Back To The Future thrown in for good measure.
And Donny Tinyhands has the nerve to call other countries shit holes??
Jesus H Christ!!
when u downloaders goin to understand that a video dont need the noise poluution u call music? just let the natural noise n we all enjoy u videos..thumbs down this video for this craked noise...💃
it's really shitty music or noise, but you will be called racist.
Am I the only one grossed out by the kitchen of that steakhouse?
Anyone know that intro song? Been trying to shazam it but I can't find it!
Thanks!
Oshawa had a LOT of GM buildings that closed. They also had a college that grew into a University............a transition took place that turned this city from a line-working manufacturing city into an intellectual bedroom community to Toronto
One word ELITES
what song is that in the beginning of this video, anybody know?
I thought it will be a Metallica song : Unforgiven.
Great job Liberal Democrats
Blame someone else, that's todays views.
Acts 4:12 NIV Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”Acts 16:31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.”
If a supernatural being did exist it clearly only favors the rich and corrupt.
It's called the Renaissance center.
I hope that man in the beginning got himself some help. He is fairly young.
The homeless man in a wheel chair has to get a check. He could apply for housing
Yes, factories closed but closures can happen anywhere at any time. Doing drugs, never saved any money is a recipe for disaster. Stop blaming everyone else. They didn't have money saved nor had a back up plan. plus doing drugs and liquor doesn't help.I have always saved money and worked a lot of unforgiving jobs but my family were always fed, clothed and warm in their own beds in a nice home. If you work hard and save for emergencies or exit plans, you will never be homeless. never.
Lol
That's my hometown, and I recognize several empty buildings in this video that were razed last year. Only the building on the left @ 3:46 of the video still exists in that area, because it is being redeveloped into an arena district, with 50+ blocks of new retail, residential and green space. His claim of the majority of the buildings in downtown Detroit not occupied isn't true either. I don't know when this documentary was made, but investors such as quicken Loans and Rock ventures has purchased and filled up those buildings or redeveloped them into lofts and apartments to fill a high demand for housing in the cities core. over 80 percent of the buildings are occupied now. This video is nearly 10 years old.
I’m glad you mentioned this because I too am in Detroit and Detroit has change in the last decade!
how can there be homeless in Detroit with thousands of abandoned homes?
they are never going to be "saved" or "rescued". they have to make major life changes themselves. too much waiting to be saved. save yourself
soon in all america :D
Nope: www.tradingeconomics.com/charts/og.png?url=/united-states/gdp-per-capita-ppp/forecast
no way
O way America is still is a competitive.
Name of song please.
We need mo dem programs n sheeit.
Anyone know that intro song?
this seemed to be more about the abandon buildings , then the homeless
Ask. Where is Obama living?
This wasn't about the homeless in Detroit.
10:31 isn’t this place where they filmed 8 mile
Really? Canada is getting jobs because of "cheaper labor"...(I find THAT hard to believe)... but remember when you are pointing the finger (at one country), 3 more fingers are point back at YOU!
Democrats and Unions: Good job. Keep it up. When will voters ever learn.
to sum it up, corporate greed killed the city
Democrats did
I go to Detroit every weekend and the traffic is bumper to bumper downtown and last weekend we couldn't even get a reservation at 3 of the four 4 star restaurants we tried. This documentary is outdated or just plain wrong.
😢
How is moving a plant to canada cheaper?
Canada has higher wages and cost of living than the US.
@Chip Rose Canada has the The Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Auto_Workers a minium wage is $40 an hour on the line.
3:15 I know this guy. His name is Steve....
u cant egnor them not turn bk on them in this day an age it shouldnt happen
People blame politicians, yet it's free capitalism. Companies can come and go as they please, it's not up to governments how free enterprise works. If tax goes up, companies up and leave, but even if tax is low, companies can leave anyway for cheap labor or bulid robots to do the work. The uneducated people are just.....well collateral damage. Societies problems like housing, health-care ect is governments issues, not companies. Decay of Detroit is well.... Normal, it's life moving on.
I wonder what will happen with Australia's Ford and Holden manufacturing shutting down?......
Yeah, and this happened under Democrat’s policies. Please ppl, we’re behind you. Speak clearly...
Other people will listen if you don’t constantly ask “kno I’m sayin? Over n over n over.... vote Republican and see what’ll happen to your cities. I’m out!
Its tree ghost as tht so shh 🤫 its tree sell that shit
All videos are the same.
WTF journeyman?
Always nice to see Jews in the suburbs talking about how successful their businesses are.
America........"Merrikkka"
sad Amerika.pffff
In be avoiding the steak house. 🤢🤮
America is like "marche ou crève"
Welcome to wukanda
allowing imports of foreign automobiles from countries like china along with the city of detroit not offering these american auto plants incentives to stay in detroit so they didnt go to canada probably played a huge part in all of this. Along with the weak political system and police presence to stamp out the drugs.
I hear lots of blame except the man in the mirror.my father in law worked gm from 59-82 ain't have a dime saved ended up at 72 a liquor store security guard.did your family save and get property my friend ht pops did 43yrs in the plant 6 houses fixed and rented out section 8 guaranteed rent to older folks he past but his kid's don't struggle they work but don't struggle. My mom paid her house off thought us to farm 2 acres 3 level house in saginaw she grew up in Alabama selling molasses roadside stop looking for politicians to solve domestic problems they rich they don't care about stable hands don't you watch westerns or soap opera's or any movie extras die first
It's the same thing in Philadelphia Pa, Erie Pa, the USA is becoming a 3rd world country
Democrat run
😒😞
the future of USA 🙌 👌 😍
You people want to see homeless go to southern cali you wont believe your eyes. its everywhere and I mean everywhere. thank you democrats for the mess your party maid. great fucking job.
Product of "their" environment...
Chris Berg and the people living in the middle of Michigan living in Walmart parking lots smoking meth are products of “their” environment... this isn’t about race this is a world wide national issue
2017 Detroit is better.
erich84502ify Yes Much Much Better. Thank God for Mike Duggan👏👏👏👏 He cares and I SEE IT😁 he's getting things Properly Done. Abandoned houses are coming down down down. 2018 he's going after the abandoned buildings as we speak. I can hear the excavator as I'm typing this🤗🤗🤗

Fuzzie freedom ville
Trump is going to go through there and bulldoze it all and come up with some genius plan to refurbish that city. Got to be very depressing to live there. But the people that get the second chance from Trump need to work and work hard.
Elizabeth Raffles he's to worried about building a damn wall! Flint still don't have clean drinking water! djt ain't gonna do nothing to help nobody but himself!
I just hope the biggest city population in the state can stop killing and bring Detroit back good city if jobs would comeback
Detroit is now renewed.
this why we need Trump...........................
