Honestly, I would love to go and move to Detroit. It would be a great Mecca for artists and venues and clubs. We need more creativity and edge in a time where honestly, cities have become scrubbed clean by gentrification, or any of that creativity and edge. I guess in the end it'll become gentrified as well...
Detroit is designed with major roads and highways leading into the city from all angles like a star. So gentrification doesn't have to be isolated into one small area since Detroit is so large, it's not limited like the valley in California or the islands of New York. Dimitri Hegemann has been eyeing the Packard Plant which is also under plans for Phase 1 plans of renovations this year by Fernando Palazuelo. There are so many locations to build creativity, clubs, venues that are also next to highways for instant access.
he's right, detroit does have a rep. i almost got into it with a guy in mobile alabama and when he found out i was from detroit he said..."i wish i would've known that before because i wouldn't have fucked with you".
As long as they don't do the same thing they did to New York and drive all the rent rates up and push all the people out that live there and it hung on all these years
To be honest, I'm a bit scared to visit Detroit but from the history, it seems like it was (or is) a cool town. Hope to see industries other than art and fashion move back into town. Maybe I'll end up there one day. I would love to buy a house downtown and see how quickly it grows.
Actually. I'm not sure if that is true. We do need to diversify and we are. But think about it. The city now has fewer people than Columbus Ohio. Even if it grows by 25% in the next ten years the population would still be below 725k. Columbus Ohio would love to have three assembly plants, an engine plant and a major automotive company world headquarters inside its borders. Ford had announced that they are building a huge development campus in Cork Town. 2500 to 5000 jobs. Mihandra is building an assembly plant on the East side. When you combine the remaining mass of the automotive and automotive related capacity in the city with the burgeoning tech and finance industries the economy could sustain real growth. The blight removal and infrastructure rebuild is daunting but progress is being made. I went to a planning meeting last week. It was funny to hear urban planners talking about demand for housing outpacing availability. Who would of thunk it ten years ago?
In 2017 and 2018 we added more tech jobs than New York or L.A. ... Total. And there already had been a decent sized foothold in the region, mostly in automation. However, the Automotive industry is not as thrashed as people think. The recent contractions were getting ahead of the manufacturing recession we are currently in, and the big three are currently investing heavily in alternative energy cars. The Tesla's price will keep it from saving anything, they are thinking and investing (some say too much) in the Model T of electric cars. Whoever hits that mark first is the winner.
Marius Matei It is all relative. Comparing New York City to Detroit is apples to oranges. New York City wins every time. But to those of us who stuck it out in Detroit during the worst of times and the darkest days it is amazing what is happening now. The number of new construction projects and renovations are unbelievable. They are literally everywhere. To be clear. It is a statistical fact. There is an exodus into the Detroit Area from California and New York. The primary reasons are jobs (Tech jobs related to the shift to electric cars) and the low cost of living. Additionally, there is a cache for young people to move downtown. It is an incubator for start ups and there is a core presence of banking and mortgage companies who cater to recent college grads. My personal preference for lifestyle is Boston which is rich with museums and restaurants. But in the end it is a matter of taste. For me Detroit is home. It is that simple.
@@sixmile2360 ha, I see what you did there (with New York, and apples... 😁); nevertheless, all I did, was that I expressed my personal preference between New York, and Detroit, i.e. I didn't contest the merits of your initial reply (in fact, I had given it a 👍), neither do I contest the fact that there are people moving from New York to Detroit (I wouldn't, but then, again, this is my personal preference, and I can understand the argument of "what you get for/vs the cost of living")!!
The only thing is if you move here from NYC to Detroit Pls know what your getting into just because this city has cheaper real estate Doesn’t mean it’s ok to kick out the locals who’ve lived in the same block for their whole life Don’t gentrify Unify
@Zanda Williams NYC obviously has more to offer but I think Detroit may get to that point eventually if the development continues! I used to live in NYC and I am thinking about moving to Detroit (or nearby).
Not a chance. New Yorkers (and whites in general) are racist. They play the side in the middle and they are stereotypical of Black folks particularly. And with Detroit's reputation, I don't see them act any differently. They will build an imaginary wall like I see in this report.
These people who are moving to detroit have the funs to move there I am a black person who want to move but do not have the funs or a business to move you have notice the people who are moving to Detroit are white peple who have their own business and the capital to fun their move and businesses Do they still have the recording studio that most blacks got their start in Detroit because i have wrote some songs but know one to sing them I have heard parts of my songs in other people songs Never My song With my name on them
Songs don't revive an economy. You realise you need productive people to purchase you album or pay for it online right? I'll suggest you start a business, it's not that hard, just come up with a business plan, sell stuff you don't need to raise capital, approach your Credit Union if you can't obtain loan from a bank and voila! You are good to go.
There is a great infrastructure in place in Detroit. Detroit is ripe for a comeback. Maybe not from the auto industry but from the technology industry. Go Detroit!
Smart move take the land nobody wants and rebuild it new york city looks just like Detroit ain't nothing tropical about new york city but it expensive to live in because of it the old ass train system
3:09 Huh? Very proud to employ locals? I hear this same thing all my life in New York City. And all I see is Foreigners from other countries. But that is NYC. This is Detroit with over 70 percent Black American. So where are the locals? Or maybe certain local might apply, while others are excluded - like black folks.
Saunya Harris there was nothing to lose. Who owned industry, equals who control jobs, banks etc. Ps; research the black man who gave H Ford the assembly line . His nuts were cut off by the slave masters, ( G.W.Carver) No Detroit without him
Something is going on there. I tried to book Foundation Hotel downtown and NOT during the Autoshow -- sold out! I couldn't believe it. Westin Book Cadillac, same story. There must have been some sort of event going on. Would never move there. Too cold, too dangerous, the color gray....
newyorkcat It's 80-90 in the summer i don't think that's very cold. Not very gray. sunny most of the time with much more character and spirit jab your average city like chicago. Just lots of demand and opportunity my friend.
Something is going on. The city is rebounding big time. Well, at least downtown. A lot of neighborhoods are still struggling but progress is being made. I live downtown. Four hotels are being built or renovated. You are right about the weather. Hot as hell in the summer with long bleak winters. But for us natives we get used to it.
Artsy fartsy Coffee shops and boring Art Museums are hardly any kind of economic engine...Good old hard core American manufacturing and a work force willing to work is the key...Supply and demand, not just demand...
Who, Ever, In Their right Mind, would move from New York, One Of The Most Attractive/Iconic Cities Worldwide, to Detroit, a city that, unfortunately, has stopped being, both, attractive, and iconic in the 1970s (till then, the "jewel"/pride of the American industry).

now it's not bc yesterday we went through the hoods and it looks nuked

Just proves that not all of Detroit is bad like how the media likes to portray it

25000 for the whole building. That should have you asking questions

What a STUPID ASS post
As long as they don't do the same thing they did to New York and drive all the rent rates up and push all the people out that live there and it hung on all these years
Don' t worry rent/prices/taxes will go up as more & more move in like any place else.
now they need to find new industries and perhaps expand that train through out the city to the neighborhoods.
Hell, NO. The freeways ruined the city enough. That's all we need is a bunch of concrete scars criss-crossing overhead.
Matthew Watson but we're not new york we don't need trains.. That's a waste of money PUT MORE JOBS AND BUISNESSES AND BUISNESS OWNERS
Detroit Is A Lost Cause/Hopeless!!
@@ericwright6717 every populous city needs trains, what are yall talking about? Especially if you want young professionals to move there
$18000 a month IN RENT???? That’s a disgusting rich landlord!

I was from New York as well. Look we’re I’m at now. Detroit. Best decision we ever made.
Im curious what industry Detroit will go to, the automotive industry can't bring Detroit back in its current state.

We need update this 2020
I did the same thing and ended up getting scammed by the building management downtown. Out of towners beware.
The only thing is if you move here from NYC to Detroit
Pls know what your getting into just because this city has cheaper real estate
Doesn’t mean it’s ok to kick out the locals who’ve lived in the same block for their whole life
Don’t gentrify Unify
As a NYer just now moving to Detroit the only thing I miss is Bodegas I can walk to and 24hr stores
I live in NYC, been here a little over 20 years but am thinking of moving back to Detroit.
@Zanda Williams

Da1n only Me to tbh but i hope NYC is not like the Detroit suburbs ;(
i live in detroit sorry☹️
What's stopping we need more people to come represent Michigan State?
I would mind moving to Detroit
kelcey mccray ...then don't. lol
New Yorkers better learn how to dress warmer. Because Detroit is significantly colder than New York City. It also have longer cold spells.
My city DETROIT is once called city beautiful❤️ when it' was first build 🏢🏫
I doesn't seem like people are leaving NYC our traffic went from being number 5 for worst traffic to number 2 and population doubled
My state is about to be the biggest
State in the United states ic
The Berlin of America!!!!
Gentrification will be a good thing. People with money to spend, jobs in restaurants and hotels, more jobs for builders and decorators.
This is all well and good but what do you do for a job?
Are there people besides SWPL hipsters moving in...?
Julian Assad YES! :)
They are welcome as long as they leave their racism behind !
