no, many of them have been abandoned for years if not decades. that's what happens when your city's population goes from millions to under 700,000. most of these houses (especially the timber ones) are unsalvagable and unremarkable architecturally. it costs money to demolish these. with fewer people living there, less taxpayer revenue, less money for stuff like this.

This is what happens when a city of a shade over 2 million loses around 1.3 million of its population in the last 52 years. Detroit, at the very least, population-wise, has been steady downhill since the 1967 riots. The people go, but all those houses & apartment buildings stay. What Charlie's showing here is not neglect so much as it's straight-up abandonment. In a city formerly built and laid out for 2 million, now there's "only" around 700,000-800,000 people left to fill all that space - not enough people left to fill all that's emptied and the result is tons of square miles of abandoned houses & apartment buildings. Entire neighborhoods - empty. I'm not going to try to speculate just why Detroit lost all those people, but it's a pretty safe bet that, when they left, all the streets and houses Charlie's showing here that were initially left behind were well maintained with cut & manicured lawns and, in more than a few cases, streets lined with lush trees. It's a damn shame, but what are you going to do when a city has that kind of mass exodus in such a relatively short period of time?

@lucillegoldenvintage1650

5 жыл бұрын

Before the blame is put on the "shade" of people it should probably follow the money. Who owns those homes? Who neglected to pay taxes on those homes? As an insurance agent I promise you, most of those abandoned homes are owned and unmaintained by people who live in other counties, or states.

They would just escape. And even if the police did notice, all of them could have shape and there would be no way to stop all of them because there wouldn't be enough police. Also the drug lords and the locals would just mess the area up again. And I also doubt that the city has the funds to do such a thing. The city can't even afford a blowjob at this point.

What makes Detroit's blight more evident is that people don't realize that it is a city that's 140 sq miles. You could fit Manhattan, San Francisco, and Boston inside of Detroit, with room to spare. Once being the automotive capital of the world, after GM, Ford, and Chrysler systematically began their exodus (late '70's and early 80's) and moved jobs overseas, multitudes of people lost their homes...Detroit lost over 600,000 manufacturing jobs from 2000-2010, ALONE; then came the "great recession" of 2008 whereby there was a literal tidal wave of foreclosures.

illegal tint it takes time & the right investors to invest in the city. What’s happening here spread across the country like wildfire. Do a little research. Did you know Detroit start the middle class in America. There’s parts of Detroit still beautiful and million dollar homes. A lot of Detroit don’t look like this. This what happened when drugs came to town and jobs were leaving. Everybody laughed at us and look what happened to everywhere else.

I just want to say I love your videos and I grew up on a lot of these streets that you show and it's a damn shame that are beautiful Detroit is turned into this I love you to talk on these videos though great job bro

There was a time when these homes were loved. Thugs came to be, now you can see why it is all a waste of space

"Thugs came to be" check the records yes Detroit had lots of black homeowners. But if you check the records there are 4 (1 black) major property owners in the city of Detroit. Ask them what happened, they surely collected rent. Did they pay property taxes is the question.

All these empty houses could solved some homelessness problems. Just in California. People just need a hand up. A demolition crew. People willing to put in some sweat equity. Than I is on...This is some good property. Unemployment, and not able to pay property taxes.😞 Blighted these communities.

You think anyone here is going to put in "sweat equity" when they won't even simply pick up the trash around their neighborhoods? A welfare check doesn't require any sweat.

Besides, homeless people in Detroit don't even want to squat in those houses. It's too dangerous, because criminals hide dead bodies in them.

Damn Charlie, another good video. I just looked at the date though, 2019. Most of these houses are probably gone now. Neighborhoods left urban prairies 😔 What neighborhood was the Phyllis st section?

The 1967 riot and a few years later, Coleman Young caused Detroit to go downhill. I can't imagine what Detroit looked like back in the day. When it looked beautiful and better.

First the '67 riots, then immediately following it foreign competition and political corruption in late '60s and 1970's. Then later came the greed and outsourcing in the '00s and the economic crash of '08.

They say the deer and turkeys out number residents now days. I was down there a while back and seen pheasants walking in abandoned yards. It’s incredible the wild life that’s taking over.

I love the architecture of many of these old homes, it must have been beautiful at one time, I imagine on a summer night people sitting on their front porches, after dinner, lights on, kids playing on their bikes, lawn sprinklers, the smell of freshly mown grass. So sad.

Born in raised in Cleveland and the joke was always "at least were not Detroit".... That joke didn't age well.

I remember some of those properties when they were really beautiful ...then hell breaks loose with some really scary people. Sad thing is that some people will answer the door to an abandoned looking house.

Apparently the support columns must have had steel or other quickly salvageable material in them. Notice how many have been stolen. Abandoned homes don’t start their own fires and abandoned buildings don’t break their own windows.

WHY DON’T THEY CLEAR OFF THOSE ABANDONED HOODS? DETROIT USED TO BE A VERY NICE CITY.

Imagine being the only homeowner left in a vacant neighborhood. It has to be the most eerie feeling to see ALL your neighbors have gone and you're the only one left behind for whatever reason. Even the dam trees have given up living! Amazing to see how the vegetation has taken over the roads and the sidewalks and even some of the streets are beginning to literally disappear. When will the devastated neighborhoods of Detroit bounce back? This is just too sad to look at. Homes that once cradled families and streets where children once played and laughed are now just burned out, bombed out, vacated wrecks of what was. I kind of feel like crying over it's demise right now.

I was waiting for a herd of zombies to round a corner at any moment.

PTSD...it lives here in Detroit and can be seen on faces of children and our older folks.

Thing is, this kind of scenery is not just in spots, it is pandemic across Detroit. Southwest is better than most. There are fields where houses have been torn down. I can only wonder what this does to the psyche of the people living with these neighborhoods.

I grew up in Detroit... We left in 69 after the malcontents burned down our Westside business district. Looks like a war zone.

many miles of copper electric wire have been stolen for scrap As have many of the pumps used to keep the freeways and streets dry during the frequent rain & snow melt. Result- floods and more chaos.

The economic destiny of blacks is poverty

What's real sad is growing up on the east side in the 1960s then going back today and not even be able to tell where your childhood home was located.....Unless you've lived it you'll never be able to explain the culture shock

I noticed that many of the homes have missing front posts on the porches. They must have some scrap value.

I could only imagine what it looks like during the night. 😱
