One of your best videos, those diagonal streets always stood out and that area is nice. Interesting to know that those streets are positioned that way because they were runways for an airfield. I don't know if other people comment on this, but it's really great that you made your Detroit videos on clear days when the light is good.

I think your spot on. I’m one of those people I’m 61 now my dad worked at the River rouge plant. Lost a finger there. Back in those days u didn’t sue. Working conditions sucked! I was born in Detroit (Grace Hospital) lived off Tireman I think. My whole family lived on the west side area. My grandma and grandpa died there. They immigrated here from Wisconsin and Italy. Lived by Rouge Park area. God I have stories. And old pics Things were so beautiful back in the day. Now it’s so sad the decline.?. move to the suburbs just before the riots. Lk Orion. On a lake. Funny my job takes me into Detroit every week. I often think Of those good times there. 😢

This is the Robert Oakman Aviation Subdivision because I live here on the Detroit side... The airstrips of Esper and Littlefield was used by the Army in the early 1900's...This was originally swamp land in the late 1800's and is a documented flood zone...This was originally Greenfield Township and the Dearborn side was Springwells... The oldest houses were built in 1927 and the newest were built in 1971... Joseph Littlefield was a Detroit councilman and Esper was a family who owned a farm in the area... I have the original blueprints, courtesy of the Detroit Main Public Library...Henry Ford's historic housing district is in West Dearborn south of Michigan Avenue and bounded by Military to Outer Drive, Monroe to Michigan > called Historic Ford ... The houses were built for workers in his tractor factory in the 1920's...Oh, and you drove past my house in this video...

"Aviation Subdivision" is just west of Wyoming from my street. Everybody I know in my my neighborhood refers to it as"the good-side of Wyoming"!! A lot of the streets over there run DIAGONAL to the other streets because of their air-strip origins!! 😮the name"Morrow"manifests on striking"Morrow Circle"street!! 😮 "White Flight" started in 1945 when Blacks returning from Normandy and Iwo Jima chose to live other than in the Hastings Street and Black Bottom areas,which caused whites to move out of Detroit rather than live on the same street with a Black family. 1945 had Detroit with over 2 million residents,but by the time the 1950 National Census was taken,the population FELL to 1,849,568 residents!! 😮

It is very easy and simplistic to point out the failings and efforts of the UAW, however, it should also be noted that executives from Ford, GM and Chrysler also agreed to and signed the contracts in order to return the workers to the production line. Additionally, the failings of the big 3 was that engineers no longer ran the companies but rather accountants and MBA’s. Cost cutting became the driver of the business. In the 1970’s and 1980’s GM vehicles were low quality, cookie cutters. For example the Nova, Omega, Apollo and Ventura were difficult to differentiate to the casual observer. Let’s not forget the Pontiac Aztec, often voted the ugliest car. Foreign car manufacturers established factories in the U.S. to beat tariffs and produced higher quality vehicles. It is true that at one time some Chrysler employees were getting paid to sit in the union halls and playing cards, not building vehicles. Again, executives from Chrysler agreed to the union requests in order to produce cars. The big 3 failed to see the impact on foreign cars to their market share.

Two things noticeable in most of these Detroit neighborhoods. Large gaps between houses and businesses where meadows are reforming. The second and most telling thing noticed is the zero new construction going on in these areas.

White Flight is a silly term. 1st 2 families who moved off our block had dad's who worked in medical field amd they left for better paying jobs. 1 to Oklahoma and the other to California. After that where 2 elderly couples. 1 couple went to Florida, the other 1 of them dies and the other went to live with their adult kid in NC. We moved due to a death in the family, but crime was getting worse too. 1 family from still lives one that block that was there from when I was young. The family that stayed the 2nd longest from my tim f7nally left in the 90s. The elderly wife was grocery shopping and there was a shoot out in the store. They loved their house, but j7st weren't safe. Not only White people left during this time, but so did many Black people. The city of Southfield grew as many Black people from Detroit moved there. Alll of my friends who were Black had their families move out of the city to the suburbs during the mid 70s. Except 1 family who left the state. Has jobs left, so did people. Has crime got worse people left. I think has current citizens left those who moved in tended to be Black. However there were also Korean and Middle Eastern people moving in. A Korean family bought our place, the dad was an engineer. We kept in touch with neighbors. I found out from the few old neighbors or mine still there that Korean family that bought our place moved to the suburbs 5 years later. To be closer to the dad's new jobs and due to crime. It went from a neighbors where kids could play outside till the streetlights came on to young people getting shot at. A nice preteen Black guy I knew invited me and a friend to a party. Her parents were stricked and wouldn't let her go, I didn't want to go alone so I didn't go. He got shot and killed at that party. People tend to try try to flee from where they aren't safe. The family I know that still lives there is White. The tern White Flight is cop-out terminology.

Alot of automakers discriminated against blacks in thr early days and wouldnt hire them. Ford hired them all but gave them the hardest jobs cuz white workers were more likely to quit. He also used them to fend off the uaw which had a racist rank and file at the time. He knew they were less likely to trust the union than a white worker so by hiring more blacks he was able to keep the union out. It worked for a while cuz ford was the last to unionize, in 1941.
