One of the things that stands out to me is the brickwork on some of the houses. I'm sure there is damage inside, but the shells look stable. I'd imagine one deterrent to gentrification would be that the tax backlog might be more expensive than the house itself. I noticed one well-kept house in between four dilapidated ruins. I am always impressed by the people living there who seem to try so hard to keep things up. Great job, CharlieBo313!

You clearly don't know about the incredible boom in urban agriculture all around Detroit. It's not an exaggeration that only those remain in the city who can't afford to leave. With most of the population gone businesses have gone down and as a result there's scarcity of essentials like food in the sparse and poor neighborhoods of Detroit. The inhabitants have seen this and the relatively cheap land value as an opportunity to turn some of this derelict landscape into small scale farms and gardens which supply the local community with healthy organic food. It's an opportunity born out of unfortunate circumstances but from the rubbles of this ruin of a city has emerged an exemplary specimen of modern agriculture that's sustainable both environmentally and socially. It's not like those houses would be in impeccable condition if it wasn't for the people left there. Those houses are abandoned so no one's taking care of them. Not so there's no crime, not to say there isn't a lot of crime but in Detroit more than perhaps anywhere based on what I've seen the hood very much is about creation. The rise of urban agriculture in Detroit appears as both non profit organisations giving out food for free to help the impoverished and succesful businesses who are managing to make profit. It reminds me of the saying "life finds a way" though the incredible things happening in the wrecks of Detroit are not to be taken for granted. Real efforts have been made by the very people living there to revitalise some of the neighborhoods of Detroit. Though of course this alone isn't enough to fill the hole left by the fall of the auto industry. I'm Finnish and I've not had the pleasure of visiting the city but I've spent a lot of time researching this incredible grassroots action happening in Detroit. It's an inspiring example of community and diligence. I suggest you look into it too, maybe learn a thing or two about your fellow Americans.

EXPLAIN TO ME SOMETHING.. My relatives , grandparents, great aunts and uncles lived in the exact same type of older home neighborhoods in Cleveland many years ago. Many didnt speak english yet, they didnt have money, worked as laborers to begin with but thru hard work managed to live in these older homes and the neighborhoods were kept nice. I have pictures of very nice older neighborhoods that they lived in for years. After years of saving money, they moved further out from the city. When they moved the cities became predominantly black neighborhoods and now today they look like this. WHY ? My relatives didnt have Any more finances and only by their grit and determination to have something nice - or live somewhere nice - they made it that way where they lived. I have the pictures to prove it! And NO welfare. None of them took it! It infuriates me when I hear blacks say whites "have no culture"! Everyone has a culture and I will take mine anyday .

Well...there DID used to be Union Sinecure jobs. Those were Gone by the Eighties. By the time You moved out, the housing was becoming Old, and more expensive to maintain. Detroit Blacks (most of whom fled Persecution in The South) also found it, to some extent...here in the North. They were only permitted to live in the overcrowded "Black Bottom" neighborhood, East of Downtown, and "Paradise Valley" (misnomer-although there were jazz clubs and thriving businesses) immediately to the north of there. Those two Hoods were destroyed to build a Freeway, and to expand a medical center. Housing for the well-off (Lafayette Park) and the Not-so-well-off (Public housing for the former residents) was built there. There was also a small African American Enclave on the Near West Side. The area between Linwood and the Lodge Freeway (which includes the Notorious 12th Street-now "Rosa Parks Blvd") became Black after World War Two, when the Jewish residents fled to the Suburbs. The 1967 Riot began in that area. There were abuses by the then-White Police Department, plus the Young Men were peeved that, at the time, they couldn't get Draft deferments, and ended up being sent to Vietnam. White Boys in College DID get excused from the Draft. In Cleveland, the Black area was originally Central-then Hough. Housing conditions were Poor. The neighborhood Cleveland Clinic is located in also changed early on.

Notice how there’s no mention of how the banks redlined those areas once they turned black and how the federal government funded home loans only to white families in the suburbs. Redlining keeps investment from going into those areas. So, people can’t get a loan to fix up their house. Redlining has long been the cause of the expansion of the ghetto. Even the federal government admitted that. So, it’s crazy that people to this day will ignore the policies that made it this way. They blame race, which is what those people who put it in place want you to think.

They were open in Port-au-Prince, from 1971-early 1972. Some of the donors had picked up the virus, as guest workers in Africa. What REALLY spread HIV, However, was that they had 7000 donors, giving plasma at Fifty Plasmapharesis machines, every two weeks...and, they Rarely changed out the needles or tubing!! They were paid the equivalent of three American dollars/day. The American connection?? A NYC Stockbroker was involved, and most of that plasma went into the veins of Hemophiliacs in this Country. Hemophiliacs are ALL Male, and a small percentage of them would have been Gay. And, SURE..having reciprocal anal intercourse at Orgies spread the Virus, along with Addicts not having access to clean needles/syringes. There needed to be a Sentinel Event, However, to make it So Much WORSE in America than in other First World Nations. Bear in mind that HIV is most contagious the month after you get infected, and is orders of magnitude Less so until Years later, when you begin to get sick with AIDS. The Hepatitis B trial of 1978 showed a prevalence of only three to six percent in those very high risk volunteers. By 1983?? It had ballooned to SIXTY percent. (The researchers had saved the blood slides, and tested them years later-when the Western Blot became available.)

The Archie Bunker's of the US got the shaft. So, Nixon and the US capitalists didn't do American any favors. We just gutted American core industries and a working and productive and tax paying middle class that is now mostly dead or living in a reduced capacity. And those that did get rich, well those 3% or so of the richest families have the "family office" of professional money managers that keep their billions safe and tax deferred for at least two generations. So they have it all locked up in L.P."s and various illiquid tax efficient structures and these folks really don't spend enough to drive the economy forward. What we have left is a growing city wasteland in many parts of America and pockets of wealth with gated communities and private security. Sort of like the New Feudalism.

100 or so years ago this was all farms, then they built the plants and developed the fields for workers homes. The plants and jobs are now gone and so soon will these homes. Back into empty fields. Good news the Packard plant is getting more taken down,not sure if they will get it done by the end of 24 but that is what the mayor said.

It is not quite that simple. Without term limits and restricting campaign donations and major tax law reform and ceasing deficit spending, the U.S. is going down. All of the above could happen if everyone qualified to vote registered to vote and voted to eliminate all U.S. government incumbents this Nov. and voted for RFK Jr.. Then they would have to continue voting out incumbents every election (effectively a one term limit).

This is a true fact. I live in Michigan and I have seen parts of Detroit that look like this. My husband and I worked for a man doing house inspections to make sure there were no vagrants living in abandoned homes. The devastation is overwhelming. It was really scary to go into some neighborhoods that look like this. In one area, we went down a street and there was a house that burned by arson and someone used a spray can of paint to paint on the door, "Any information on who murdered these people, call.....". We stopped at a house and I got out to inspect the backyard, and 2 rotties came out from the garage. I was scared 💩less!!! I threw my arms up and yelled 'What are you looking at?'. They ran off scared!!! That's when we quit that job. It wasn't worth losing our lives doing a job that put us in danger. This is really sad.

Why do the rest of us continue to find this acceptable that this one demographic can single-handedly take one of the greatest cities on earth and turn it into an African 3rd world equivalent in only a matter of a few decades??

I guess when the younger generation got tired of all the crime and troubles, they moved outward. Sure wish Detroit could be what it was 40 or more years ago. A city to be proud to call home. Now it's just a shell of it's former self stripped of her glory.

Yeah, Detroit was a place where unskilled people could come where jobs were numerous & an unskilled worker coulld make a pretty good living. The car companies used to recruit people from the southern states to move to Detroit to work. BUT, after some decades, foreign competition made the car companies make their operations more efficient so they brought in robots. Ford used to have a saying 'NOT INVENTED HERE'. If it was not invented & made by Ford they did not use that part on any pf their cars. But, eventually even Ford had to talk to suppliers who could make parts cheaper than the big factories. Eventually they all saw the benifit of building factories in other contries and sending those jobs away. Canada & Mexico at first but elsewhere too. So, anyway the jobs dried up and the city too dried up. Detroit today is hardly a shadow of its former self. But, REMEMBER- Its nothing personal. Its busine$$. !
