Amazing how quickly these properties went to hell

Well, it's not like the best locations were picked for the before pictures. I'm pretty sure I could go to NBR and do the exact same thing, and say it's a representation of BR as a whole.
Not that I'm saying Detroit isn't a shite city

I thought Detroit went to shite long before 2009.

So the homes get raised for materials when left to rot..... Sad and this may expand to many other places as well.

I always though detroit was shite and then I saw a video form like a blimp flying over the city before some sporting event, I think NFL, and was like woah, that downtown looks gorgeous.
So, I dont really listen to this stuff anymore. Sounds like the trashy areas just went to shite.

I visited Detroit this past summer. These areas really aren't that scary. They are literally empty houses sitting in the middle of fields now. Not a soul in sight. Reminded me alot of what I've seen in rural Carolinas or mill towns. It is amazing to see a city shrink from millions to thousands. You have to see it with your own eyes.
Downtown Detroit is way smaller than I imagined. You can walk from one end to the other in about 30 minutes. Overall, I had a good time. Caught a Tigers game, visited a few breweries. I lived to tell the tale.

Well sounds like the rehab addict lady, nicole curtis, has a lot of work to do in her native city of Detroit.

Who had the balls to drive through those neighborhoods, and did they get hazard pay...?

White flight. Tbh I've never seen an African now the lawn. Ever.

Seeing stuff like this reminds me how implausible The Walking Dead is. All of those abandon houses and towns would be in far greater disrepair than what we see on the show. Everything would be overgrown by vegetation

Entropy at work, pretty cool.

A lot of generalization in these posts. Sad shite, I must say. Some Black folks do some foolish things, but it isn't because of the amount of melanin in their skin. Can't defend the poor behavior of some people, but never did I once think it was because they were darker.
If you think that, you're a damn fool. Another sad example of people denigrating a whole group because a percentage are shitty. Stop it, god damnit. All of you are better than being intellectually lazy.

Detroit has been faced with budget shortfalls like many major cities. Nearly every time they have a choice between raising taxes to appeasing the public sector unions or tightening the belt to protect their base, they've chosen the former.
City leadership pushed the tax base out. Manufacturing has become much less labor intensive and certainly less Detroit-centric, but Detroit's suburbs don't look like that. Some of them are actually quite nice.
The city has managed a decline very poorly.
