Detroit's embrace of urbanism is also contributing massively to its revival. They're tearing down one of their downtown highways and turning the land back into the mixed-use residential area that it once was. This is a trend that will more than likely continue as Detroit sees the benefits of what they destroyed back in the 50's.

In fact, towns like Detroit and Cleveland have the "blank canvas" to create a new vision of 21st Century urbanism that could match what the Dutch has done in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Let's tear down many of the decrepit, unusable buildings and replace them with new buildings and offices inspired by classical and Art Deco architecture.

I’m from Southern France, and I’ve stayed in Detroit for a few weeks while I was travelling the US. It became my favorite city in the country, I only met welcoming and kind people who treated me like one of their own. The city does have a strange atmosphere, like it’s been stuck in time, but I was really inspired by some stories that I heard, and I always give credit to the locals when mentioning how good the city is becoming now, because from what I seen they always had each other’s back with no outside help and got their salvation out of sheer solidarity and effort. Much love for Michigan from Corsica.

Love to see America's Comeback City!

At 14:52, for those not familiar with Detroit & its environs, what you're looking at is Windsor,Ontario, Canada - our good neighbor across the [Detroit] river.

I appreciate you bringing attention to the decline and rebirth of our magnificent city. It's good to see it portrayed positively, even though there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome. This helps shift the perception of the city from one of a dangerous, abandoned metropolis to one that is making a comeback. It will, in my opinion, revert to its former glory as a magnificent metropolis.

I am one of those artists who is trying to do my small part. I am rehabbing a house on the East side which is still pretty rough. But it has to start this way. There are families on the block that have been there for decades, and I hope they know we are trying to respect them, not gentrify to push them out. Their property values will increase. And Duggan has done amazing things. The blight clearing alone has done so much. There is land now to garden.

It reminds me of one of my high school friends' mother : she told us back then that in the 1940's - when she was a young girl - Detroit was like New York City ( I also heard that said by another lady concerning Mount Clemens, the capital of Macomb County, north of Detroit, which is in Wayne County ).

I went to the place in 2018; it was quite a modern, clean, popular, and facilitated urban view. People enjoyed daily life by walking around the riverside near the GM building, racing on boats on the water, or casino life at nightfall. Some people may ask: The city's crime rate is still high. This may sound reasonable that as reports in the papers have shown, yes, there is still something that is contributing to the people's concern, such as early closure of business hours at the local stores(usually around 4-5pm on business days); and frequent police patrols from daylight to nightfall, focusing on highly populated areas like black communities; casinos and a few sections of downtown. If you'd like to visit the city with your own eyes, you'd better choose daylight to come out and stay in areas that are heavily crowded and come back to the hotel or motel no later than 10pm(because after this time you can hear horns of police cars all around downtown).

Thank you for highlighting the downfall and revival of our great city. While there are still many challenges, it is nice to see it being shown in a positive light, helping to change its reputation as a dangerous, abandoned city to a city experiencing a comeback. I believe it will become the great city that it was once again.

Detroit is improving from decades of decay, but it's got so much work that needs to be done to be "good" again, at least if you comparing how the city was in its peak.

Shocking to see the state of Detroit

I love my city! Born & Raised.

I remember visiting depressed crime riddled Detroit in 2007 then went home to booming clean and safe Portland. Now its literally the reverse.

Yes it has Detroit always has it good and bad but always find a way to stay strong and I am glad to be born and raised in Detroit

Hey that iron works company was where my house is today 😂😂

Take him to Detroit!

Detroit isn’t good again. Downtown is much better than it was 30 years ago, but crime is still high and schools are still shit

It’s definitely turning itself around, slowly but surely. The surrounding neighborhoods are still pretty bad for a few miles, but the downtown is definitely coming around. Hopefully in another couple decades the growth spreads to the immediate surrounding communities.

Meanwhile, Flint still has undrinkable water.

Unfortunately unions played a very large roll in Detroit's downfall. UAW prevented car companies from being competitive during hard times in the automotive sector. As a result the big three kept lowering the quality of their cars, in an effort to reduce costs, while paying workers very high salaries they could not afford. The result was more and more manufacturing was relocating to regions with lower incomes and eventual bankruptcy pressures. City worker unions also profited greatly on the backs of the city, aligning with politicians who promised them golden handshakes, excessive pay raises and very large pension plans. These golden pension plans ended up crippling the city's ability to afford to maintain services, like police, city maintenance, parks and other services. Even though Detroit had one of the highest crime rates, it also had one of the lowest numbers of on duty police personnel. Once the city was no longer able to maintain itself there was a large push by residents to relocate to better run suburbs. It was politicians who ran the city into the ground. It was the city unions that cried the loudest when the city went bankrupt 8:30 . Not because they cared about Detroit, but they were about to lose their incredibly golden pensions. Now that the city is no longer on the hook for these ridiculous promises the city has been slowly rebuilding itself. Even though the car manufacturing is almost gone, new businesses are sprouting up, as the city invites new investment to rebuild the economy.

Japan and Germany didn't pay less than US labor. German autoworkers were paid more and were FAR more unionized, and the difference between the Japanese workers and the highest paid German workers was about $1/hr. Just the currency exchange vastly favored Japan for a long time.

This new bridge will eliminate a severe bottleneck of trade between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, and given the massive amount of goods trade between Detroit and Windsor, it could transform Detroit into one of the biggest goods trans-shipment centers in the world, bringing in many thousands of new jobs into the city itself.

HBO Real Sports did a segment in 2019 on this and there has been numerous news articles about all the broken promises. How did your team not even do the slightest bit of research to check if any press releases from when the arena proposal was announced actually were built?

Only white people cling to the falsehood that Coleman Young was crooked. I, too, am white. I met him when he was a State Senator in 1964 until his death which was 34 years. Let me remind you that he served his country, he served his state and he served his city, all honorably! His country, less honorably segregated him. His State, also dishonorably, denied him the GI Bill entitlement due to his race, and the City he served for 24 years thought enough of him to keep him on the job longer than any other mayor. And anybody who knew Coleman knew that he was totally committed to the City and its residents. The suburbs, in its queer way, seemed to think he should put them first. He didn’t agree.

Tell us more about your red Cities and how right outside them, people of all ages live in squalor, Boris the Russian.

Have to reelect President Biden, and VP Harris, and give the majority in the House, and keep the majority in the Senate, to the Democrats to not only keep the momentum going, but to accelerate it.
