How do you take care of something when you have no education, no job, not much of anything. I'm white, but I grew up in a neighborhood not quite as bad as Detroit but close. A lot of blacks can't even get hired at department stores. I remember getting calls at 17. None of my black friends would. And as far as 'fixing up a house', my grandmother made 12$ an hour cleaning houses her whole life. She would usually have to call her friends to help her fix sometning. Sometimes she'd get ripped off. Be grateful for what you have. If you are one of the lucky ones to make it out of this it's usually because you got lucky. My education just being on that side of town was less than zero...disgusting. They don't care about you. I'm a woman so I was able to find someone, marry, and climb a social ladder out of it.

I will agree with you about the level of addiction and lack of education, but those are symptoms of the poverty not the other way around. People turn to escapes like drugs when they are in a hopeless situation where they feel there is no way to get a better education or a job. There is plenty of research into the subject you can read about. However your statement about it being impossible for someone that is an addict to get a better education and a well paying job is also true. It's a cycle that starts with schools, economic opportunity, and public infrastructure leaving an area causing it to become destitute. People turn to alcohol and drugs to make money and to escape their collapsing community. This in turn leads to further depression and people become stuck in a loop that many are unable to escape.

@albundy6008

***** people turn to drugs and alcohol because they give up on themselves and their communities. They promote the degradation of their communities instead of working to make it better. More drugs leads to more crime, violence, and poverty. The family structure is also destroyed by these factors, in turn leading to more drug use, illiteracy, and hopelessness. It is a vicious circle, one that can only be broken by those who have the insight to say "ENOUGH!" and do something about their situation, not by government handouts or by rioting and looting.

Yes there are places in Detroit you don't go unless you got business, but for the most part, you really don't have much to worry about. Act like a fool, you'll get treated accordingly.

I currently live in Philadelphia and that city has many blocks that feature abandoned homes. But what's to do with these homes in Detroit, which must had been quite roomy and comfortable during the past times? Detroit needs to rebuild its economy and its school system if those houses are to be reoccupied and repaired. Otherwise another possible solution is that these abandoned blocks be seized, the houses torn down, and the parcels consolidated into large farmlands. Maybe agriculture could be the saving grace for Detroit (and many parts of Philadelphia).

@dergluckliche4973

They're already doing the big urban farms. Thing is, the city would have to know from whom to seize the homes which involves a lot of legal costs the city can't afford. Demolition costs a lot if the houses contain lead, asbestos or other hazardous materials. Detroit can try to rebuild its economy all it wants but there is a dearth of people who have the type of education needed to rebuild and sustain today's economy who want to _live_ in Detroit. The suburbs are still quite nice but the suburbs aren't Detroit. That's one of the reasons San Francisco and Seattle are so so expensive: lots of well-educated, well-paid people _want_ to live in those places. Detroit's school system there is NOTORIOUS for its mismanagement and without a tax base, it's WOEFULLY underfunded. It may not be as bad as it was ten years ago but it will never be what it was at its peak again.

The jobs left and most of the residents who were black could not move up and out. Detroit could not recover fast enough, the same thing almost happened to Pittsburgh however they were able to recover big time thanks to a switch in industry from steel to health care and technology. Detroit is trying to come back and it is on the rise, sure they have stuff to work out but to go and just blame black people is silly, racist and disgusting...tell me what industry do black people control and where does a city rise or fall from blacks in power?? You need to see videos like this to fuel your lame sense of superiority and that is sickening. When crack hit the black communities they locked them and while whites now suffer from opioids and guess what they give them free drugs, milder versions to keep them functional....same problem different tactics...that bias is real and the results are real. The whites in coal towns are sufferings too, crime is up, building are falling down, drugs are everywhere and you won't see white people trashing them, watching videos and damning them.

When two thirds of the population move out, what is going to happen to the two thirds of houses ? It's hardly likely that the remaining third of people are going to look after them. In the UK each one of these houses would be worth a quarter of a million pounds, not because we have community pride or are white middle class but because we are a small nation and can't simply f off to another state to look for work.

I bet some of these homes have amazing masonry work and woodwork inside.

Used to hang out with these 3 brothers in the early 90s. They lived with thier grandmother in Brightmore. The grandmother died and the older brother caleb (chincy) got a job at rouge steel and he kept the house up, the youngest was craig, he got on that rock habit and quit high school. Warren was the middle brother he was the one we were all friends with. He got in with some bad people selling dope, someone killed him in 92 he was in 11th grade. I drove down that street about 6 years ago,there were not many houses left on the block and thier house was gone, all that remained was the overgrown driveway. From the looks of that area it looks like a few generations of people were wiped out! They were good people craig and warren were amazingly talented baseball players. I remember they never wanted to go home after baseball.

Nope the city can't afford to pay them they can barely afford ems and police.and the fire department is broke

Detroit was richest city in America at one time look at home

I haven seen the Nortorous Blue nine in a couple of years on the Eastside he still around ?

The public needs to make a statement. Since the Detroit Police Department cannot & do not Police the area, the citizens should arm up & get the gangs out of their community. As the killers are killed, the Citizens will have more guns to kill more killers. Citizens should have the right to protect themselves from domestic threats...

Ray Ray when the police enforce the law, the black community burns down businesses and protests in the street. You get what you ask for. Keep demonizing the police and the police stop coming around. Notice how after the Detroit riots in the 60’s, all the white people started the white flight. This is what you have left.

What's the point of being in a gang if they don't help clean up they're own community. Sad

Haven’t been to that part of the city yet, nice video tho

Something I keep noticing in these videos, is that even in clearly impoverished neighborhoods, you still see a lot of modern looking, well-kept and often luxury cars. I'm not American, is there a reason for this ?

Like all dreams, it is built upon fantasy.

Dang, I'd be out of luck if I got lost here. I wouldn't know I'm in unsafe territory (except for the houses where the grass is way overgrown..starting at 3:09). Some of those blocks look just like areas in the city I'm in (Spokane, WA). I go there all the time. I feel bad for the homeowners that do try to keep their yards and houses nice while they're surrounded by neglected houses/yards.

looking at this from the UK... the houses are huge and have such potential and the area looks beautiful.. wide road and tree lined avenues. Why has it gone to ruin.. In the UK we do not have open plan gardens between neighbors. We have clearly defined boundaries which usually means a wall, high fence or hedge and of course unless you are seriously wealthy the properties are so much smaller. I guess you have the space and land available in the US. It all looks so sad to let it go like this..

I drove through the streets of Detroit just like this when I went to visit thrpe Hitsville Museum/Motown. I was horrified to see block after block after block after block of boarded up lovely homes, or burned, or in total disrepair. Very, very sad.

Some nice wide streets and nice two level homes on big blocks. People don't have boundary fences everywhere - cool. :)

This video starts a few blocks from my house. My place being 4 blocks west or so. This area has changed quit a bit in 2yrs.

OK so I live in Detroit and grew up in Detroit and yes there’s a good side and there’s the bad side. the town is very beautiful and there are some neighborhoods that are more worn down than others I live in the warn down neighborhood but I still love it it’s not as bad as people say or make it look like! There’s also the more upkeep neighborhoods that look like probably your town houses such as a normal subdivision there’s just the worn down parts that people focus more on I guess. But either way the worn down parts are more gloomy than others because those are people that don’t have a lot of money because the rent is only ranging from 200 to 500 a month so people don’t have money will live in the one down parts, they don’t have enough upkeep money to put flowers on their porch. Detroit is working on getting rid of those old abandoned houses but there’s just so many of them Detroit is so big it’s hard. Yes there are killers that room the street but don’t mess with them and they won’t go for you!

Places like this and Compton used to be beautiful and peaceful in the '50's, but modern democratic socialism and globalism have ruined our inner cities over the course of time. At least things are getting better with Trump at the helm and the increasingly moderate-conservative Supreme Court. Slowly, but surely.

Watching house Michael Nesbitt did not receive Michigan lottery payment from Lansing Michigan. ...can someone help.

Beautiful looking streets back in the day. How sad it is to see now

I wouldn't feel safe driving through that neighborhood in an M1A2 SEP Army Tank.

My brother once got his phone stolen on the way home while we were on the bus. Mind you we are 2 Latino teens in a predominantly black neighborhood. Anyway he got his phone snatched by a teen and he ran after him. During his chase he bumped into 4 fully grown big men in a car. They got my brothers phone back to him and no one got hurt. There’s also good people left

The sad thing is that if you look at these homes, most are brick and very well built. I would love to afford something like that in a decent neighborhood. People don't appreciate what they have.
