Charlie, your videos are great, thank you. I grew up not far from here and went to Wayne Elementary school. Got out in the late 1980's while this area was falling apart. Sad to see it look this way.
Once upon a time, there were Christmas mornings, birthday parties, babies brought home, sad times, happy times, etc...now, look what liberalism has done in its wake.
Hey, Charlie, did you get a new camera? Your video is very clear and detailed. I was watching this full screen on my new 55" TV Santa brought. It was so realistic I had had to grab my nine and put it my lap, just in case. :-)
@CharlieBo313 My husband grew up in the early 70's on Kelly between 9 and Moross (sorry the spelling if wrong lol). I had never seen him so upset as I did the day we drove down and he couldn't recognize his, or his grandma's homes. His uncle also lived only a few blocks over.
Charlie can you do a video visiting Detroit legend esham’s old house and white boy ricks house, how about an all Detroit legends tour video series , that should bring in a lot views, see Jack Frost old house, icp, kid rock, awsome Dre, Swifty Mcvay, twiztid, the roc, j dilla, Eminem, Royce, lavel and abk’s hood, maybe even visit spots like the disc aka demo hut and hot hits records
Squish Stuff kid rock from Romeo mi not Detroit big difference Madonna Jack Frost etc not from Detroit more like metro Detroit (suburbs) !!! Jus claim Detroit sound better than sayn im from Rochester mi like Madonna !! Em spent most his life in warren mi ...
Squish Stuff What would that do? It's not about views of celebrities houses they left behind. It about the people that had to leave or stay for lack of resources. People must stop thinking that after home-grown celebrities make it out and become famous, they are coming back to do good form their old communities. Most of them once they make good they are out and will never look back.
I saw a documentary once about how dangerous it can be as a homeless person entering one of these homes for shelter. You never know what you'll encounter inside. From the outside they look empty.
Charlie, great video man. Next time you're in Cali, head to the Bay Area, and check out East Palo Alto south of SF, The Tenderlion in SF, and West Oakland/Richmond in the East Bay. If you're in West Oakland around 32nd and San Pablo, you'd get some good interviews about Oakland. Hope all is well. Take care.
It's so sad to see this, it doesn't need to be like this in a country like America, we have places like this in Manchester and Birmingham, in fact most major cities where I live in England have there rough parts. I just wish we could fix these areas and make them beautiful again. I feel for the people who live among the wrecked areas, it just doesn't need to be so. These are some of the strongest people in the world. You have to be to live among this. God bless em all.

But to be fair, A lot of little cities was man-made city back to USSR, those places alone do not have enough conditions to be cities. some cities only for dig coals or mine irons. Now no one buy their coals or irons, their economy fall like a stone in water. But Russia now respect Private property, so no matter how hard the live is, local people include young people still choose to stay. They are still waiting for USSR style government to take care of them.. what a dream

Why does it look like so many of them have been on fire before? Do squatters try to build fires in the fireplaces and the chimney stopped up or what’s the reasoning?
I believe about 20/30 years ago when Detroit went on the decline people burned down houses and businesses to obtain insurance money. However, now most houses are vacant, owned by the bank etc. So more recent fires are most likely accidental caused by squatters or due to shoddy illegal electric wiring.
The east side looks even worse than the southwest side. The thing is neighborhoods do cycle through ups and downs but you have to have something left to restore. These neighborhoods have been systematically plundered, burned and decimated . They can never truly be restored.

Landlocked, it borders Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Sudan-its tiny neighbor, Djibouti, is also its main port. Ethiopia’s huge population of about 102 million (2016) makes it the second most populous nation in Africa, after Nigeria. Although it is the fastest growing economy in the region, it is also one of the poorest, with a per capita income of $783. Ethiopia’s government aims to reach lower-middle-income status by 2025. Ethiopia’s economy experienced strong, broad-based growth averaging 10.3% a year from 2005/06 to 2015/16, compared to a regional average of 5.4%. According to official statistics, Ethiopia’s gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to have rebounded to 10.9% in FY2017. The expansion of agriculture, construction and services accounted for most of this, with modest manufacturing growth. Private consumption and public investment explain demand-side growth, the latter assuming an increasingly important role. Higher economic growth brought with it positive trends in poverty reduction in both urban and rural areas. In 2000, 55.3% of Ethiopians lived in extreme poverty; by 2011 this figure was 33.5%. The economic growth rate recently declined to about 8%. The government is implementing the 2nd phase of its Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). GTP II, which will run to 2019/20, aims to continue work on physical infrastructure through public investment projects, and to transform Ethiopia into a manufacturing hub. Growth targets are an annual average GDP growth of 11%; in line with manufacturing strategy, it also hopes the industrial sector will grow by an average of 20%, creating jobs. ua-cam.com/video/m-pZTI9UWPg/v-deo.html < cities built by Africans part 1 ua-cam.com/video/AmcWj_uCPfY/v-deo.html cities built by Africans part 2 Kenya has made significant political, structural and economic reforms that have largely driven sustained economic growth, social development and political gains over the past decade. However, its key development challenges still include poverty, inequality, climate change and the vulnerability of the economy to internal and external shocks. Kenya’s recent political reform stemmed from the passage of a new constitution in 2010 that introduced a bicameral legislative house, devolved county government, a constitutionally tenured Judiciary and electoral body. The first election was in 2013. The August 8, 2017 presidential elections were nullified on September 1, 2017 by the Supreme Court, and a new presidential election is scheduled for October 17, 2017. Devolution remains the biggest gain from the August 2010 constitution, which ushered in a new political and economic governance system. It is transformative and has strengthened accountability and public service delivery at local levels. While economic activity faltered following the 2008 global economic recession, growth resumed in the last three years reaching 5.8% in 2016 placing Kenya as one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The economic expansion has been boosted by a stable macroeconomic environment, low oil prices, rebound in tourism, strong remittance inflows and a government led infrastructure development initiative. Looking ahead, near-term GDP growth is expected to decelerate to 5.5% in 2017 because of ongoing drought, weak credit growth, security concerns and the pick-up in oil prices. Medium-term GDP growth should rebound to 5.8% in 2018 and 6.1% in 2019 respectively dependent on completion of ongoing infrastructure projects, resolution of slow credit growth, strengthening of the global economy and tourism. In the long-term, adoption of prudent macroeconomic policies will help safeguard Kenya’s robust economic performance. This includes implementation of fiscal and monetary prudence and lowering deficit down to 4.3% by FY19/20 as per the Medium Term Fiscal Framework. The fiscal consolidation needs to avoid compromising public investments in critical infrastructure key to unlocking the economy’s productive capacity. In addition to aligning fostering economic development through the country’s development agenda to the long-term development plan; Vision 2030, the President in December outlined the “Big Four” development priority areas for his final term as President. The Big Four will prioritize manufacturing, universal healthcare, affordable housing and food security. Social Development www.worldbank.org/en/country/kenya/overview Ghana sits on the Atlantic Ocean and borders Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso. It has a population of about 29.6 million (2018). In the past two decades, it has taken major strides toward democracy under a multi-party system, with its independent judiciary winning public trust. Ghana consistently ranks in the top three countries in Africa for freedom of speech and press freedom, with strong broadcast media in particular, and radio the medium with the greatest reach. Factors such as these provide Ghana with solid social capital. A year after being elected President in a peaceful election, President Akufo-Addo has had some challenges. fulfilling his election pledges-including setting up a factory in each of the nation’s 216 districts, one dam for every village and providing free high school education. Though the government has started implementing some of its promises, such as planting for food and for jobs, and the free secondary education. The authorities need to pay attention to proper fine tuning and funding in the years ahead. Recent Economic Developments Ghana’s economic performance improved significantly in 2017 after a difficult 2016. The fiscal deficit dropped to 6% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017 from 9.3% in 2016, underpinned by serious fiscal consolidation efforts. Despite that total revenue (including grants) underperformed by 1.1% of GDP, the fiscal turnaround was achieved primarily through expenditure cuts (1.3% of GDP), which were imposed on recurrent and capital expenditures. The government also capped transfers to Earmarked Funds at 25% of tax revenues. The primary balance improved from a deficit in 2016 to a surplus of 0.8% of GDP in 2017. The debt to GDP ratio is estimated at 69.2% in December 2017 down from 73.4% in 2016 reflecting a slowdown in the rate of external debt accumulation, as well as higher GDP growth. Domestic revenue mobilization is a key priority for the government, and the World Bank supports these efforts through technical assistance to the Ghana Revenue Authority. According to the Ghana Statistical Service latest numbers released in April 2018, Ghana’s economy is estimated to have expanded by 8.5% in 2017 from 3.6% a year ago driven by the mining and oil sectors. Oil production rose strongly because the Offshore Turret Remediation Project was deferred from 2017 to 2018. In addition to this one-off effect, gold output remained high, and while cocoa production levels remained stable. Still, non-oil growth declined to 4.8% from 5.1% in 2016 as growth in the services sector decelerated in 2017. www.worldbank.org/en/country/ghana/overview www.worldbank.org/en/country/botswana/overview Overview CONTEXT STRATEGY RESULTS PARTNERS Botswana is located at the center of southern Africa, positioned between South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. One of the world’s poorest countries at independence in 1966, it rapidly became one of the world’s development success stories. Significant mineral (diamond) wealth, good governance, prudent economic management and a relatively small population of more than two million, have made it an upper middle-income country. The World Bank’s engagement is focused on helping it consolidate its progress while addressing a range of persistent and emerging challenges. Political Context Botswana has a stable political environment with a multi-party democratic tradition. General elections are held every five years. The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has been in power since 1966. With the end of his second five-year term, President Ian Khama stepped down and, as per convention, the Vice-President (Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi) assumed the Presidency on April 1 and will stand for the Presidency in the next general elections. Economic Overview Since gaining independence from Britain, Botswana has been one of the world’s fastest growing economies, averaging 5% per annum over the past decade. Its reliance on commodities renders it vulnerable to international market fluctuations. Economic activity is expected to intensify to 4.5% in 2017, up to 4.8% by 2019. Economic growth will be driven by the mining activity, construction, services sector and intensified public investments. The National Budget for 2018/19 was passed. Presented to Parliament on February 5, 2018, the new budget puts total expenditure and net lending at P67.87 billion (33.4% of gross domestic product (GDP)), an increase of P8.3 billion (1.3%) compared to the previous fiscal year. The (capital) budget is P19.31 billion, up by P2.4 billion (16.6%) over the previous fiscal year. A budget deficit of P3.59 billion (1.8% of GDP) is expected despite the positive domestic economic outlook. Fiscal spending will continue to advance at today’s more-rapid pace, with priority for areas identified
Damn this looks like a third world country I don't even know how people could even live there in that City hell no!!!! Love all your videos i don't comment but I always like all your videos much love always from Santa Cruz Beach California 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💞💞💞💞👍
Letricia..this is the work of the democrats..they love keeping people down like this to be able to offer them "a better life if elected" and then don't follow thru with nothing more than crumbs to keep them down and out..It's a vicious cycle, but it works for the dems.
@@rantingrandy6924 You got that right. Dems like keeping people in poverty bc they want to be able to politicize entitlements and if they have people out of poverty no one wants their crumbs they are feeding to the poor any longer. The democrats thrive on this.
Damn. You can really tell how cute and lively these houses used to be. So much of the Midwest is like this now. Detroit, STL, Milwaukee, Chicago just to name the big ones
It's so sad to see well architectured Brick homes burnt or ravaged. Someone with a few coins could speculate by buying one of the more decent ones, picking them up with house mover services then placing them on a vacant parcel of land away from Detroit and flipping them for a decent profit. Especially those built in the 30's & 40's.
The thing with Detroit unlike other places across the country . Is the real estate . The architecture us beautiful . These properties must have been do beautiful. U grew yp in 3 decker cold water flats . I hope they revive these beautiful areas.....
Paris of the West to this. Great place to visit if you want to see abandonment, get carjacked, shot or killed. Glad I didn't live their for 17 years!! Good work boooiii.
Ive been through some hoods and I've never seen anything like Detroit. Hope to make it there soon to get some content.. Sorry for anyone who has to deal with this daily.
I always wondered why the city didn't tear them all down and I found out it's bc it cost 10k just to tear down one house. With that said WHAT IS THE CITY DOING WITH THE FUNDING FROM THE GOVERNMENT?
I'm from an old N.Y. hood and you know it's bad when the drug dealers won't even loop sneakers ( I been lookin' lol) across the lines in these hoods, I bet even the rats and roaches left! What I wanna know is where are all these folks now? Where did they go? Where could they go?
Beautiful Craftsman homes destroyed... I can't understand how folks just sit and watch it get worse every year. And do nothing. Form a council. Train good local people and pay them in agriculture., and folks to become involved with council men to speak. Pay and train upstanding locals with certified background checks to work with detonation. To clean this defunct situation up. I blame the society mentality to put up with this way of life just don't get it why a community can't come together with hopes for better.
This town could be a nice place to live houses could be luxury homes, instead off building a wall invest money into these areas create Jobs am careers give these people trades they could use all over the world, America messed up
Yet black folks still vote for the same black/democratic politicians that steal and line their own pockets, and give crumbs to blacks knowing they'll vote for them again.
The architecture of these houses are amazing. Neighborhoods must of been amazing looking back in the day when the auto companies were still around
The houses are amazing they were built by Craftsmen I've been in the same kind of style of house in Dayton OH and I can say they don't make houses like that anymore for blue collar workers.

Scary at best....what a shame
They own guns
If they pay me.i wont live in that hood.
Hard to image that, every single one of those homes had families with dreams living in them.
Like frank culotta said yesterdays dreams are today vacant lots
You have to hand it to the holdouts still trying to earn an honest living in those hoods .

Higher economic growth brought with it positive trends in poverty reduction in both urban and rural areas. In 2000, 55.3% of Ethiopians lived in extreme poverty; by 2011 this figure was 33.5%. The economic growth rate recently declined to about 8%. The government is implementing the 2nd phase of its Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). GTP II, which will run to 2019/20, aims to continue work on physical infrastructure through public investment projects, and to transform Ethiopia into a manufacturing hub. Growth targets are an annual average GDP growth of 11%; in line with manufacturing strategy, it also hopes the industrial sector will grow by an average of 20%, creating jobs.

Kenya has made significant political, structural and economic reforms that have largely driven sustained economic growth, social development and political gains over the past decade. However, its key development challenges still include poverty, inequality, climate change and the vulnerability of the economy to internal and external shocks.
Kenya’s recent political reform stemmed from the passage of a new constitution in 2010 that introduced a bicameral legislative house, devolved county government, a constitutionally tenured Judiciary and electoral body. The first election was in 2013. The August 8, 2017 presidential elections were nullified on September 1, 2017 by the Supreme Court, and a new presidential election is scheduled for October 17, 2017.
Devolution remains the biggest gain from the August 2010 constitution, which ushered in a new political and economic governance system. It is transformative and has strengthened accountability and public service delivery at local levels.
While economic activity faltered following the 2008 global economic recession, growth resumed in the last three years reaching 5.8% in 2016 placing Kenya as one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The economic expansion has been boosted by a stable macroeconomic environment, low oil prices, rebound in tourism, strong remittance inflows and a government led infrastructure development initiative.
Looking ahead, near-term GDP growth is expected to decelerate to 5.5% in 2017 because of ongoing drought, weak credit growth, security concerns and the pick-up in oil prices. Medium-term GDP growth should rebound to 5.8% in 2018 and 6.1% in 2019 respectively dependent on completion of ongoing infrastructure projects, resolution of slow credit growth, strengthening of the global economy and tourism.
In the long-term, adoption of prudent macroeconomic policies will help safeguard Kenya’s robust economic performance. This includes implementation of fiscal and monetary prudence and lowering deficit down to 4.3% by FY19/20 as per the Medium Term Fiscal Framework. The fiscal consolidation needs to avoid compromising public investments in critical infrastructure key to unlocking the economy’s productive capacity.
In addition to aligning fostering economic development through the country’s development agenda to the long-term development plan; Vision 2030, the President in December outlined the “Big Four” development priority areas for his final term as President. The Big Four will prioritize manufacturing, universal healthcare, affordable housing and food security. Social Development

Ghana sits on the Atlantic Ocean and borders Togo, Cote d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso. It has a population of about 29.6 million (2018). In the past two decades, it has taken major strides toward democracy under a multi-party system, with its independent judiciary winning public trust. Ghana consistently ranks in the top three countries in Africa for freedom of speech and press freedom, with strong broadcast media in particular, and radio the medium with the greatest reach. Factors such as these provide Ghana with solid social capital.
A year after being elected President in a peaceful election, President Akufo-Addo has had some challenges. fulfilling his election pledges-including setting up a factory in each of the nation’s 216 districts, one dam for every village and providing free high school education. Though the government has started implementing some of its promises, such as planting for food and for jobs, and the free secondary education. The authorities need to pay attention to proper fine tuning and funding in the years ahead.
Recent Economic Developments
Ghana’s economic performance improved significantly in 2017 after a difficult 2016. The fiscal deficit dropped to 6% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2017 from 9.3% in 2016, underpinned by serious fiscal consolidation efforts. Despite that total revenue (including grants) underperformed by 1.1% of GDP, the fiscal turnaround was achieved primarily through expenditure cuts (1.3% of GDP), which were imposed on recurrent and capital expenditures. The government also capped transfers to Earmarked Funds at 25% of tax revenues. The primary balance improved from a deficit in 2016 to a surplus of 0.8% of GDP in 2017. The debt to GDP ratio is estimated at 69.2% in December 2017 down from 73.4% in 2016 reflecting a slowdown in the rate of external debt accumulation, as well as higher GDP growth. Domestic revenue mobilization is a key priority for the government, and the World Bank supports these efforts through technical assistance to the Ghana Revenue Authority.
According to the Ghana Statistical Service latest numbers released in April 2018, Ghana’s economy is estimated to have expanded by 8.5% in 2017 from 3.6% a year ago driven by the mining and oil sectors. Oil production rose strongly because the Offshore Turret Remediation Project was deferred from 2017 to 2018. In addition to this one-off effect, gold output remained high, and while cocoa production levels remained stable. Still, non-oil growth declined to 4.8% from 5.1% in 2016 as growth in the services sector decelerated in 2017.

Overview
CONTEXT
STRATEGY
RESULTS
PARTNERS
Botswana is located at the center of southern Africa, positioned between South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. One of the world’s poorest countries at independence in 1966, it rapidly became one of the world’s development success stories. Significant mineral (diamond) wealth, good governance, prudent economic management and a relatively small population of more than two million, have made it an upper middle-income country. The World Bank’s engagement is focused on helping it consolidate its progress while addressing a range of persistent and emerging challenges.
Political Context
Botswana has a stable political environment with a multi-party democratic tradition. General elections are held every five years. The ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) has been in power since 1966. With the end of his second five-year term, President Ian Khama stepped down and, as per convention, the Vice-President (Mokgweetsi Eric Masisi) assumed the Presidency on April 1 and will stand for the Presidency in the next general elections.
Economic Overview
Since gaining independence from Britain, Botswana has been one of the world’s fastest growing economies, averaging 5% per annum over the past decade. Its reliance on commodities renders it vulnerable to international market fluctuations. Economic activity is expected to intensify to 4.5% in 2017, up to 4.8% by 2019. Economic growth will be driven by the mining activity, construction, services sector and intensified public investments.
The National Budget for 2018/19 was passed. Presented to Parliament on February 5, 2018, the new budget puts total expenditure and net lending at P67.87 billion (33.4% of gross domestic product (GDP)), an increase of P8.3 billion (1.3%) compared to the previous fiscal year. The (capital) budget is P19.31 billion, up by P2.4 billion (16.6%) over the previous fiscal year. A budget deficit of P3.59 billion (1.8% of GDP) is expected despite the positive domestic economic outlook.
Fiscal spending will continue to advance at today’s more-rapid pace, with priority for areas identified
@@Rodsandconesco oh, Ahmed is insulted? lol
Great video! DETROIT! when you say worst do you mean dangerous?
Actuallyworst looking and some of the worst crime wise.
Damn this looks like a third world country I don't even know how people could even live there in that City hell no!!!! Love all your videos i don't comment but I always like all your videos much love always from Santa Cruz Beach California 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊💞💞💞💞👍
Not even third world countries look that bad.
Democrat policies will turn California into this in 30 years. Watch. lol
@@rantingrandy6924 Cali is one of the few states with a surplus. This is what republican policies is turning Kansas
Letricia..this is the work of the democrats..they love keeping people down like this to be able to offer them "a better life if elected" and then don't follow thru with nothing more than crumbs to keep them down and out..It's a vicious cycle, but it works for the dems.
@@rantingrandy6924 You got that right. Dems like keeping people in poverty bc they want to be able to politicize entitlements and if they have people out of poverty no one wants their crumbs they are feeding to the poor any longer. The democrats thrive on this.
when american dream becomes nightmare.
Damn. You can really tell how cute and lively these houses used to be. So much of the Midwest is like this now. Detroit, STL, Milwaukee, Chicago just to name the big ones
They should have a contest. The longest abandoned house gets to be torn down ahead of all the others
these pictures are very beautiful. Congratulations, every time you are more professional
Damn that whole Eastside of Detroit look deserted Damn I thought my city was fckk up!! Thanks for the videos 🤝💯
Bro I'm still tryna get with you to do that interview Detroit East side shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legit question...are all the houses with boarded up windows still inhabited?
Only occasionally by homeless or squatters.
2:10 buddy: what do you want? Must be the neighborhood watch leader
@charliebo313 where is the most frightened place youve ever drove thru
The clinic
What I don't understand is - If all those houses were full of people where did they all go?
What happened to the owners of these houses? I'm a Brazilian, congratulations on the video.
@DrSouthpoleThank you for responding, I hope to visit your country someday, thanks for your kindness.
Ya but the suburbs surrounding Detroit are getting really bad as well :(
the white people are dying off.
Just before u get to that 1 decent house with a car, that area looked like some apocalyptic shit went down
Walking dead type shit.
It's so sad to see well architectured Brick homes burnt or ravaged. Someone with a few coins could speculate by buying one of the more decent ones, picking them up with house mover services then placing them on a vacant parcel of land away from Detroit and flipping them for a decent profit. Especially those built in the 30's & 40's.
The thing with Detroit unlike other places across the country . Is the real estate . The architecture us beautiful . These properties must have been do beautiful. U grew yp in 3 decker cold water flats . I hope they revive these beautiful areas.....
0:25 this house is like that one guy that spends like a thousand bucks on skins and chills with his free to play friends
what are you talking about lol
I try and keep telling folk to cop that new Fallout 76, graphics looking tight asl!
This just proves your people are so evil you can destroy cities at any given time...that shows the power of the hands the world has been given into.
The people that still live in the few remaining houses are they safe?Or are constant victims of crime or just left alone.
They are NOT safe
Neighborhood after neighborhood; the streets look like something out of The Walking Dead....
Pretty bad when you got three or four good houses in a line of 40
Only a matter of time before its just a straight line of 40...
Paris of the West to this. Great place to visit if you want to see abandonment, get carjacked, shot or killed. Glad I didn't live their for 17 years!! Good work boooiii.
where are those landlords they just let their property sits there and just rot?
Lol the other cars passing by are prolly filming the bullshit too
Seems like it gets worse every time Charlie drives through these areas.
Natural progression lol
Wondering why developers don’t won’t to fix that area up? You know they be knowing the insides so it had to be something.
Damn.. so many once beautiful homes gone to shit. So sad.
All you see is empty house but don't think about the people who lived there...
With all the money people have been sending him to do more videos, it looks like he had enough money to go buy a Gopro Hero 7 black camera.
There you can buy whole house for 1$
WORLDWIDE HIP-HOP VIDEOS but the taxes are ridiculous
I believe what we are witnessing is the physical manifestation of sin and the rapid decline of another great empire.

Can someone explain to me why are too many houses destroyed in Detroid (I'm from Europe)!!
Still better than 80% of the neighbourhoods in Nigeria.
The houses are huge this would be a very wealth neighbourhood in England
Not a ounce of copper left for miles and miles....
Or AC units..
How much are the houses there?
I'm about to buy some rural land here in Australia, (cheapest is $120,000usd) in a shit hole area.
$1+
Houses price very low but the back taxes are higher than the worth.
Plus say you get a good deal, all of your neighboring houses would be empty/abandoned/trap houses...
Ya ebay sometimes has multiple lots in a row for sale at a few hundred dollar.
@@hamonrye7415 ... . . wow that's nuts..
If I lived in the US I would buy an old factory:)
Good video quality footage🤔
Which sub Saharan nation is this?
Its hard to believe thats Michigan..
Ive been through some hoods and I've never seen anything like Detroit. Hope to make it there soon to get some content.. Sorry for anyone who has to deal with this daily.
@Allan 112358 True enough. I guess if people are settling for this, then yeah.. you are correct!
@kush King Your underdeveloped brain cant process what I'm articulating, is all. Dumb ass
Come Fayetteville AKA dream ville 🔥 we got lots of hoods
they dont even take care of their front lawns. smh
One day the Auto industry will end completely. Cant imagine what can Detroit do about it??
Pretty much the only thing it has left?
I always wondered why the city didn't tear them all down and I found out it's bc it cost 10k just to tear down one house. With that said WHAT IS THE CITY DOING WITH THE FUNDING FROM THE GOVERNMENT?
The guy at 1:12 has a system - just throw your crap into a pile out by the curb.
That’s what made Wakanda a great nation.
I'm from an old N.Y. hood and you know it's bad when the drug dealers won't even loop sneakers ( I been lookin' lol) across the lines in these hoods, I bet even the rats and roaches left! What I wanna know is where are all these folks now? Where did they go? Where could they go?

Birmingham,AL is one of the most dangerous city's in America
Thanks for. The fact. Lmao.
I thought the city was taking down the burned out homes? What's taking so long? 😕
This place is actually a gold mine. It has potential
Detroit hoods. Nothing like it. What a great place to live. It seems the demolition crews and sanitation department still have a lot of work to do.
Beautiful Craftsman homes destroyed... I can't understand how folks just sit and watch it get worse every year. And do nothing. Form a council. Train good local people and pay them in agriculture., and folks to become involved with council men to speak. Pay and train upstanding locals with certified background checks to work with detonation. To clean this defunct situation up. I blame the society mentality to put up with this way of life just don't get it why a community can't come together with hopes for better.
Crazy to think this is in America. Holy shit Detroit is fucked. Love your vids by the way man 👍
paradise lost . such a shame to such a powerful country.
2:00 how much?
Bruh go to east english village better looking houses over there
Man you don't get paid enough for this shit😂

Yet black folks still vote for the same black/democratic politicians that steal and line their own pockets, and give crumbs to blacks knowing they'll vote for them again.
