@@hellomikie92 What really wrecked Detroit was a combination of corporate greed and the lack of vision for the future. The old-guard auto companies like Ford, GM, and Chrysler failed to react swiftly enough to the energy crisis of the 70s and kept on pumping out big old fashioned gas guzzling land-boats, while the Japanese were showing off smaller MUCH more fuel efficient cars. So what do you think the auto-buying public did at that time? They went for the less expensive, smaller, more fuel efficient cars leaving the Big 3 behind in a whirlwind of dust. Hence the death knell of Detroit.

On November 9, 1962, the Ford Rotunda burned down in less than an hour due to a waterproofing sealant fire. The intense heat caused the building to collapse and burn to the ground, resulting in estimated damages of over $15 million.

Many of the factories that had good paying jobs moved out to Mexico and overseas for cheaper labor and more money. While the drugs and the like moved into a high unemployment sector to fill the void with crime and fill the jails up with cheap privatized prison labor. Prophets or profits?

@@gagaearthian the neighborhood's are worse. Entire city blocks are fields and crime is spreading to the suburbs. Some streets might have only one house on it. There are a few homes with 1 million to two million dollar listings for sale, but once you go to the corner of the street it's all shit. Downtown has slightly improved but it won't last. The city council is basically on a tribal system, is a joke and prevents progress.

0:17 Yet it looks only to the future" In 1961 the narrator of the film probably couldn't imagine that in the future, Detroit would look like Dresden Germany did at the end of World War 2. It looks like a burned, bombed-out shell of a city.

My cousins and I used to ride our bikes in the basement with the old record players that were a piece of furniture by themselves. We never went anywhere but their house but i have good memories of that house. And i agree. I loved the narrators soothing voice. Ive been to The Detroit Institute of Arts but not since high school.
