Detroit is definitely doing better. Detroit should never have been down, right next to Canada and not far from Chicago and even NYC plus lots of water.
Cities that built America should not be left to die…..america that is embarrassing. We just move our problems instead of buckling down and fixing our messes.
Poor leadership is causing the decline of great cities. Look to Cali in places like San Francisco, Oakland, LA. When you become a pro criminal/pro degeneracy city or state. The fall will come quickly.
I’ve been living in downtown Detroit for 16 years now, I have seen enormous and I mean enormous change, I always loved living here because the people were just wonderful , but now it’s really becoming a vibrant city with so much to do, so diverse and a wonderful history and just full of wonderful architecture and new places. Love living here.
It helps when the massive projects going up embrace the city and feel welcoming to neighbors. Michigan Central isnt just restoring that train station but also landscaping the entire area, making it more pedestrian friendly and a new greenway has been added. There were lots of big projects Detroit gambled on in the 70s and 80s. (Renaissance Center, Riverfront Apartments, GM Poletown/Factory Zero, Victoria Park, Harbortown) But they were often built like fortified structures, walled off with gates and likely separated and hurt the surrounding area.
Usually I feel happy or inspired seeing news reports that shine a light on Detroits progress…. I think they interviewed the wrong person to tell its story 😒
I feel bad for people living in 25 mile road somewhere. Dealing with that drive and that amount of traffic daily to work, games, concerts, etc.. takes away from one’s quality of life.
Conservative values put Detroit back on track. Overt corruption was slowed. Crime was seriously tackled. Monetary/ fiscal policies were instituted. Incentives were instituted to attract investments. Good people were put in position. Common sense leadership. Perfect? No, but it has made a huge difference.
an urban, extremely complex problem not solved by painting murals, and planting trees. Garbage needs processing, along w/providing clean water, paying public workers,... No $ in, no $ out, w/no financial drain hitchhikers allowed. Like being hungry in your home, even in/as a city, you seek sustenance else ware (at least wise people do rather than being like adult chicks in a nest crying for food). It takes discipline and sacrifice for all in cities/communities facing a crisis of this sort. Good luck Detroit.
Anyone been to highland park recently? It’s great it’s coming back but downtown and Corktown looking nice has nothing to do with the rest of the city … not good enough and not for Detroiters.
It could be a good thing or a bad thing. "Revitalization" could also mean that it could eventually end up being a city that is totally unaffordable for the common working Person like a few other major cities have already become with 3000$ rents and that sort of thing.
Agreed.. But I think with 2/3's of lots being abandoned it's going to be a while before over crowding and gentrification is going to be a major factor...
You have to bring auto manufacturing back at a higher pace than ever before!!!!! Allow China to build their cars on our soil built by our American workers!!!!!! I'll buy a BYD. Even a Huawei. 🇺🇸
Great information, but the person interviewed obnoxiously relied on "sort of"......in every response. What causes that irritating conversation misstep? Good to see Detroit start to come back. Conservative fiscal management is critical. Detroit must stay away from money-losing progressive money give-aways that are destroying cities like Chicago.
What actually brought down Detroit was a series of corrupt mayors as well as the flight of many residents to the suburbs, leaving a sparse insufficient tax base.
@@pauly5418 NOT the White Flight and systemic red lining of entire areas? NO? That wasn't a factor at all? Of course it was.. Detroit is not immune to this concept it was just WORSE in Detroit than anywhere else in America especially when you take out the much needed tax base and carve it off into fake suburbs like Highland Park which have no economy besides one factory...
The only people that stayed in Detroit the last few decades were those that could not afford to leave. They get no credit for sticking it out. The big sin of Detroit was due to deteriorating schools and crappy government services, they first chased the white middle class out, and then after that, the black middle class moved out too. The suburbs around Detroit are great. Just the city itself has been the problem. To demonize those that want to come in and make money is part of what got Detroit in the mess that it is in now. A city needs a wide middle class tax base to prosper and Detroit hasn’t met that until now since maybe 1968.
So tired of hearing that OLD TIRED DRUM BEAT that the only people stayed are POOR PEOPLE that could not afford to leave … Even in rough times MANY of US chose to STAY and HELP fight the decline.. had it not been for US and others having faith in this community it would not have CLAWED its way back from the bankruptcy into a viable place others are choosing to move to. And NOT JUST DOWNTOWN There are MANY SAFE STABLE NEIGHBORHOODS all over this city that have never fallen into decline and are MORE vibrant that they have been in decades
No fool. The auto industry is the reason. Things have change and jobs are back, and an increase housing, developments, retail and businesses are now here, and other new things are on it way in Detroit.
@flashyfinancier. Just to enlighten you, Detroit had ZERO disturbances during the BLM movement. The rest of the country was on fire Detroit stayed calm. Come to the D and see our district neighborhoods and downtown. Our food scene is AMAZING.
Who would willingly live in Detroit. With all the other options out there. Crime is still terrible and the city is still in ruins. Anyone with a brain left that city.
Huh? Plz compare crime to other places. It's gone down steadily. & it's relatively cheap to live in detroit...which is a plus since every one complains about cost of living these days. New tech hub. Lots of opportunities. You wouldn't know though
@@lifeonmars03 If the city isn't run my liberal Democrats, it tends to have lower crime, taxes, and more job opportunities. Think Texas, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia.
@@lifeonmars03Crime is higher in Detroit in comparison to most major cities. It’s cheaper for a reason. It’s not very desirable like other major cities. Things can change though, but it will take a while. Detroit didn’t hit rock bottom overnight.
@@1TewBuMyShoe Not desirable? Last time you visited or lived here? Let me guess its been a min and or never had, just what you heard or been told right? LOL!
Basically almost all the recent progress was made after you visited. There's a new arena that replaced the one you visited north of downtown where abandoned buildings and parking lots used to be, and that spurred a lot of new businesses in the area.
So much construction going on it’s gonna be a lot better over the next couple years, Detroit Proud 💯🇺🇸
Been to downtown Detroit twice within the past here. I can confirm that it is booming. It was a great thing to see.
Detroit is definitely doing better. Detroit should never have been down, right next to Canada and not far from Chicago and even NYC plus lots of water.
I agree!!
A city is its people. If the productive people leave or get driven out by crime and high taxes, the city will die no matter how close to water it is.

up to the area to make themselves viable.
That’s the west. Build cheap homes, move after 4 years to newer cheaper homes. Gentrification no class no culture.
@@robertplant2059 REALLY?
@@stickynorth yes, because who it is most important to? The locals, and if they don't care why should anyone else?
Glad there finally shedding a positive light on the city, Detroit up! 🔥
Detroiter's are tough and resilient. Many haters and doomsdayers counted them out. American cities like Detroit built this great country.
Everyone should visit Detroit. It's a great time
A beautiful Renaissance

Could they find anyone with enthusiasm to talk to?

Gordie...
Howe...
International...
Bridge?
was shocked to not hear them talk about that or hudsons ngl
Detroit never ‘left’. It just went unnoticed for sometime. I love my city.

Detroit needs to invest in public transportation and TOD!
I feel bad for people living in 25 mile road somewhere. Dealing with that drive and that amount of traffic daily to work, games, concerts, etc.. takes away from one’s quality of life.
Detriot has comeback , this is something like jackson ms, Cleveland, etc can do
Detroit haters cry harder....your tears are used to fill the Detroit River LOL!!😂

When you're pressed for time, maybe interview someone who can form a sentence.
you still wouldnt know how
All I heard was uhm and uh
She was a pretty terrible interviewee.
Anyone been to highland park recently?
It’s great it’s coming back but downtown and Corktown looking nice has nothing to do with the rest of the city … not good enough and not for Detroiters.
HIGHLAND PARK is a CITY unto its own ! DETROIT is NOT RESPONSIBLE for highland park if you have a complaint about THAT city GO TO ITS CITY LEADERS
Um, um, um…good someone should teach this person how to answer interview questions
Hold the hell up! Her name is Anne Frank???

Detroit has a LONG way to go before we see that I suspect. For one thing there’s so much vacant land that anyone could build a home if they chose to
Agreed.. But I think with 2/3's of lots being abandoned it's going to be a while before over crowding and gentrification is going to be a major factor...
The conversation should have begun with the poverty rate.

Downtown Detroit is where most of the revitalization is taking place. The outer areas of Detroit still look like a Mad Max movie.
Isnt that pretty much the same in all US citys nowadays?
1:52 Conservative fiscal management, and carefully balancing budget. When Democrats adopt conservative policies, things seem to work, don’t they?
