- Let's go for a ride starting in Highland Park (first few buildings), and then into Detroit . Witness the destruction of once Great industrial American cities turning them into ghost towns. Even in downtown Detroit, there are empty skyscrapers.... This video is just a TINY fraction of insane amount of buildings destroyed in Detroit . Historical buildings are falling apart leaving nothing for the next generations to admire. I urge viewers to research the true reasons of why this happened to this city, because if it happened to once great Detroit..... it might happen to Yours...
I was back in town last year and a friend from 25 years ago and I reconnected. We went for a ride to see what happened to all the places we lived at, hung out at, worked at, and where we were born. We started at 8 and gratiot and headed south on Gratiot. We drove all way downtown and then headed north on Woodward and hung at right at 8 Mile back to our starting point. We detoured a long the way to a ton of places and pretty much every spot from our past is either torn down or vacant and decayed. It felt like a big part of our past was just wiped out. Sad.
I'm glad you & Eminem got out.
Felt like your past was wiped out? It has, and there is no going back. As a native Detroiter,I know. Better to move on. Detroit is the landscape of the walking dead. Be careful you don’t join them.
@@rascal0175 sad but true. I work midnight shift in midtown and have a nightly count of walking dead...gotta make it a game or it's so depressing.
@@jessicanuoffer Midnights in Midtown? Are you telling us you work in Detroit?
Why did you leave ?
Some insanely beautiful buildings left to rot... incredible destruction...
Thanks democrats
I was born in Detroit...as were my parents, grand parents & great grand parents. I grew up there in the 50's - 60's when it was still a great place. The last decent mayor was Jerry Cavanaugh. It went downhill fast after him.
I went back there with a friend a couple years ago...downtown, Belle Isle, Packard plant, passed relatives old places - what were still standing...
It breaks my heart to see what it's become.
There are more dangerous places around the world, but they are in impoverished, Third World nations. What makes Detroit so extreme is that there is no excuse to allow such neglect and decay in such an affluent, First World nation.
around 1930 Detroit was on the way to beat out NYNY for first place. Such divissesivness by race, housing ownership, learning how to live together. They haven't done that yet either as the city is 85% black who got left holding the bag to support the city infrastructure with no money, jobs or hope.

@@TheHarvick29 Shut up .
@@harrybriscoe7948 They are right. White flight after race riots and liberalism caused many cities to suffer and neighboring towns to change.
Chernobyl looks better than detroit
+azdez ezaey why dont they just bulldoze it down? looks like a ghost town
+psycho5553 The city is broke, they don't even have enough money to do that. I don't think anyone is interested in buying the property either since it probably wouldn't be worth the investment.
+azdez ezaey it's true.
I agree but both can be lived in again.
Thomas McClenan Not both, Just detroit
Insane how the "7th great wonder" that used to be Detroit has deteriorated into a post apocalyptic mess.
Democrats
If Henry Ford could see this, he would weep.
jack johnson No he wouldn't weep, because his company outsourced the jobs overseas creating this urban decay. He would be smiling all the way to the bank, because his company is now in a position to receive larger margins of profit on the backs of kids in China who work for very very little. The car companies both built and destroyed the Motor City.
The city officials who ran this city should be brought up on criminal charges.
Because, of the Auto Union protests...
Major Elite Corporate Barrons vowed Move & to never invest there, again... and were also, Large real-estate Holders.
Where, the Big money goings-- Banks follow.. Thus, Banned nearly All RE Loan requests to entire zip codes..
Courtney Dixon they should, Same for the ppl responsible for grenfell, disgusting how the rich ppl get to do this
Courtney Dixon One of them was, former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Coleman Young died before he could be indicted!
Detroit is still a screwed up city, when I worked in Chicago a guy said " you could buy a house there for less than 20 grand" and I said "yeah, but you would have to buy $200 grand of ammo to defend it " !
The result of jobs and industry being shipped to 3rd World countries where they can pay $5 a day. Some of those buildings are truly beautiful.
One of the few intelligent comments on this video.
Very sad to see this. Considering Detroit was one of the wealthiest cities in the USA once upon a time.
I was born and raised in Detroit. Detroit died when profits were maximized by not investing in the factories. Robots are very good at building cars and other items. Workers in large numbers are no longer needed. America is now a service economy. People i.e. workers are no longer needed in great numbers. Detroit died when Detroit stopped building a product anyone wanted. With no jobs people without money cannot maintain any kind of economy. The rich do not educate the young because they have no need for educated workers, they just cause trouble and expect things like health care, decent housing, and products they can't afford to buy. The rich had no need for Detroit, they can afford cars built by Europe and Asia. The American are allowed to work for Walmart and buy products made by children and adults in countries with no child labor laws, or any labor law at all, no health insurance, and little or no health care at all. It's not the Democrats who are pushing the US in that direction, watch what Donnie and the Republicans destroy your access to health care and your children's access to quality education. Revolution is latin for a new turn, when will it be the American people's turn for a better life than what was provided to the people of Detroit? Detroit is not the only city facing this collection of problems, in the current political climate most cities face a similar future. Wake Up America: Donald Lied to You!
I remember visiting Detroit in 1961 when 8 years old and going to the Hudson’s Department store. The city seemed like paradise to me then.
What a waste of nice buildings. Pity that times have changed so much.
@@dessean1 dude chill out, touch some grass. All of us caused damage but we should move on.
@@champanzee6486 I can't touch some grass because we've poisoned that, too.
@@dessean1 It’s been 7 years and you still didn’t change. Lol
I grew up in Detroit. WE had metal detectors in our skrools back in 1980. ppl getting shot over their jewelry and sneakers and jackets. When I was in middle skrool we had to watch out for gangs who wore jingle boots. Detroit isn't nothing now, the scary elements are all gone. my hood gone, both downtown and eastside and even my high skrool is gone. all gone, just a shell of what was hell.
it's just as well, they never even taught you how to spell school. do you spell it wrong because it's cool, or because that's how you think it is spelled? why would you want to look so ignorant?
Hey man, that helps put perspective on where this nation is heading. Have you documented this anywhere else one can gain insight into? Tks
Kiger, you are the one who looks ignorant
most of the bad elements are either dead or in prison.
I moved to nyc bc I refused to live in some suburb, shoot me now was my attitude about mi suburbs.
Looks like The History Channel's "Life After People."
its insane that a library is closed.
I'm from Detroit, and I see these eye sores all over. The old Packard plant is the biggest one. It's abandoned and rotting for decades. The city needs to step up. At 5:20, I think Ford is something to the Michigan Central Depot. At 6:02, they're working on the Book-Cadillac Hotel. I hope they do more restorations on these old buildings.
Shame on you America for letting this happen. Shameful
Detroit is a perfect place to make The Last Of Us movie.
Thanks for posting this awesome....yet ever so sad...video. I moved to Ann Arbor in 1968 and spent a lot of time in and around Detroit until I moved to Las Vegas, in 1985. It is so sad to see what has become of this once-great city.
These photos remind me of the game, The Last of Us....lol
This is the result of what the English did by bringing the Black man here.Look at africa.If no white man stepped on the continent of Africa they would be living as they have for many thousands of years.Just hunter gatherers.Who is to say the white mans way is better ?Better for a white man.The white man invents things and in his world he became industrious and that was his way.The Black man created his world that fits his way.I'm not being sarcastic.I believe the Black mans way is to be tribal and thats his happiness.
GabrealCollins The Spaniards first brought the black man here
Alexis Jaussen They were ruthless fucker raping women in so many countries and now the people in those countries look different because they now have Spanish blood
GabrealCollins That's an insanely stupid comment, this has nothing to do with the,"nature of a black man." Detroit's demise has to do mainly with economics. Detroit's economy has long been based in the automobile industry, so Detroit was essentially on a single crop economy. When you ship the production of automobiles over sea, because it's much cheaper, Detroit loses it's main source of revenue. When people realize there are no jobs and that the city is broke, they leave. When people leave, buildings go abandoned and the city goes into debt, and so on. Spare us your racist bullshit dude.
Nick George Many cities lost their industries and they bounced back. Detroit could have but the people refused to vote in people who would improve things. I do not mean to sound racist with this but the people in Detroit love policies that keep them from getting out poverty like social promotion and this practice stops people from learning skills. Black voters do not care if their politicians steal or get caught doing something unethical, it is not racist if it is true because these people keep getting elected. There is a crazy thought that black students cannot learn in white structured schools so they either fudge the grades to keep bad schools from ever getting closed or they use social promotion so everyone can get a highschool diploma without effort. No businesses want to move in because they are afraid of getting robbed and there is no middle class, everyone is on welfare. They are not doing enough to make the streets safer, there is no infrastructure at all. Cities can adapt if they want to.
+GabrealCollins Please do not feed the trolls. Thank you
First it's sad......Then it's eerie........Finally it's just amazing. Well done. I was a recruiter in Detroit 21 years ago. Unnerving how quick it fell.
I live in detroit and I am 15 years old with a learner's permit. I love driving but not in my own city cuz of this...I feel verry scared, even while driving with my dad
Praneel Deb Stay safe man!

Praneel Deb You should move away when you become 16 - your mam and dad should respect your decision.
Detroit could have still been a powerhouse but in order to do that and stay competitive when other markets were building themselves up was to get rid of the unions. The unions were pushing the companies to pay wages to employees that were ridiculously high. When they should have been making $20 an hour they were getting paid $40 an hour. Employee and union greed made the companies say "fuck it" and they went off to Mexico and Asia. That and the fact that Detroit not diversifying it's economy were 2 of the major contributors to the downfall of that city. Another thing is the fact that America is trying to be world police and I can't begin to fathom the amount of money leaving America when in reality it should stay in the country to help cities and communities get back on their feet.
Dashcam Dumbasses Detroit would still be a manufacturing powerhouse if the horrendous Taft-Hartley Act was repealed and these big corporations would have been pressured into investing and modernizing these mills and factories rather than running off to China, India, and Indonesia for dirt cheap labor so these wealthy bastards can fill their over bloated pockets with more money.
keep bootlicking
It so did happen to my city, the City of Trenton and the City of Burlington! Once beautiful, proud cities are now urban wastelands.
Wynston Wolf most NJ cities are decrepit wastelands. Especially Newark, Paterson, Atlantic City, and Camden.
It was the wealthiest city in the US in the 1950s.
coming to a city near you. back in the day, nobody could've ever imagined detroit would be like this. there are other cities where this has happened. i dont know about you, but that shit scares and angers me!!
Happening in LA as we speak. It's called white flight. When whites go away this is what you end up with.
It is happening in many suburbs as well as more prosperous folks move further out into the outer ring exurbs.
So sad to see what remains of such a once lovely, thriving city due to economic decline and neglect. If government keeps letting corporations send their plants to Mexico, china, India and Bangladesh, Detroit will not be the only city that ends up this way. Soon a lot of major industrial cities will turn into abandoned ghost towns. Sad really, in America 😩
Lysa Green Detroit isnt alone in this horrible mess. Other cities like Flint, Saginaw, Pontiac, Gary IN, East St Louis IL, St Louis MO, Youngstown OH, Niagara Falls NY, Bridgeport CT, Camden NJ, Chester PA, and Baltimore MD are all steadily declining and dying as business, industry, and residents flee these cities.
Damn! And I thought Camden, NJ was bad. WTF???
Heart breaking to see a once vibrant and beautiful city in decay. Makes me wonder if Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles will look like this as a result of truly inept politicians in the 2020’s.
Thanks democrats
@@ousspoliticians in general
The next big budget post-apocalypse movie Hollywood makes they could film it in Detroit. The studio wouldn't have to spend a dime on making sets. Hell---the entire city could serve as the movie set.
The intricate brick is phenomenal. Old school craftsmen work that will never be repeated. Probably many of European descent carrying on hundreds of year old tradition. Now just a sewer of worthless souls. Such a shame.
Awesome music...the place does look like The Last of Us...very sad...such great architecture will never be built the same way again, even if it is eventually rebuilt.
One of the best soundtracks!❤❤❤
Don't Worried most of the Cities will look like this very soon....!
Trade deals did this and Especially the Clintons. They passed NAFTA and most favored trading with China. Who benefitted Wall Street. And no I am not a liberal or a Progressive. I am a nationalist.
Keep Ranting, that will solved your Problem....Your a Fool. If you not part of the Solution, than your part of the problem....!
Welcome to the "New World Order".....!
Juda Behur You are right because the new wave of democrats are retarded. Honestly with all the abortion and birth control they should have produced a superior seed but the opposite has happened.
Juda Behur true dat. USA = mentally ill/homosexual nation. south better secede fast.
bulldoze every thing down and start over slowly and recycle 80% of the materials
They do, they are building farms on many plots.
nice good news tks
+Marc st-maurice Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Tear it all down and turn it into farm land.
ShreddNugent And eventually that farmland will be purchased and turned into homes, thus, a new city.
that's right , good thinking , that's the future
It's crazy that such massive, industrial city with beautiful architecture and so much history could become such a shithole. And this didn't happen somewhere in former USSR - it happened in America, the richest country on the planet...
Wow! Such a shame! Some of those buildings architecture is gorgeous. All of that housing gone to waste.
Shame on USA how can be possible that the US government abandon a city like this?!
And this is just one out of dozens...
Federal intervention to round up these derelicts , gangsters crazies mad maxes that are burning and vandalizing, curfews state of emergency as long and as much as it takes as it takes. There are quality people still living in their homes hoping to sell in some cases rather than just leave it to the crazies. Are there lives not worth anything? Why should they live in terror.
How old are these buildings? Detroit was destroyed by corruption, "elites" who have moved out, but poor people (black people in majority) remained
VendPrekmurec
but the blame is on those who couldn't afford to leave and relocate.
I feel you
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify your economy.
Don't let racial or religious tension linger. Have lots of discussion in various forums to resolve disputes.
If that is how you feel, then why the handle Charles Martel. A man who saved his country from the yoke of Muslim rule. Plus your two statements nothing in common. Diversify your economy means invest in more then one means to make an economy strong. Diversifying your culture does not strengthen your economy. You can not have various forms to solve disputes, that is called anarchy. Rome, Britain, The Ottomans, The Mongols ruled vast Empires with many different people, but there was only one law, one forum for resolving disputes, there was not discussion, there was only the one law of who's empire it was. To say that we can wish away racial or religious tensions, is wishful thinking at its worst.
I am glad you know who Charles Martel is, I wish more people did.
My two statements are separate which is why I put them in separate paragraphs. However, they do have something in common, which is, policies to maintain a prosperous and harmonious society. Obviously diversifying your culture does not necessarily improve your economy, which is why I neither wrote nor meant to imply that. You misunderstood my comment. Next, you incorrectly quoted me as saying "various forms", but what I actually wrote was "various FORUMS." By this I mean different places, NOT LAWS. Of course a jurisdiction should only have one set of laws. Finally, I neither wrote nor meant to imply that "we can wish away racial or religious tensions." Again you have misinterpreted me. Yet, we can still try to reduce or resolve said tensions, although there is very little hope for making peace with islam, the theology of endless violence and intolerance.
***** I misspelled forms I meant "Forums". Forums to resolve disputes without the rule of law, just means a lot of talk with no teeth. The only way there will be peace with Islam is if they convert every living soul on the planet or they are wiped from the Earth. That is not meant to be inflammatory. When they speak of peace that is what they mean, that they have converted everyone, its in their book. Western culture did not surpass the Muslim world because we were better at talking in forums or kept better channels of communication open. It was because we were better at making war then they were. That is what beat them back. To offer them peace is to leave yourself open to their response "Piss on your peace." As a veteran of the Balkans I can assure you that there will never be a time without racial or religious tensions. When the minority states we should all drink from the cup of diversity it is either to get votes or as the saying goes, "So the bottom rail can be on top."
After the 1943 and 1967 riots, and the crime wave that began in 1968, the ability of the Detroit middle class to trust the AA underclass broke down permanently.
***** The problem is the consumption to income to profit motive to personal budget to product life cycle problem?
I am fascinated by Detroit. It is so sad to see those buildings discarded - to me they represent forgotten dreams and lives. It was once such a great city, especially the architecture: Deco and Modernist masterpieces made with the decadence of wealth and optimism. I would love to move there one day and start a business and be part of the renaissance. Respect to the people of Detroit, from London, UK.
nice buildings being destroyed. what a shame the whole city is screwed up.
Nothing wrong with detroit! It's the typical democrat way of life.
grant martin Well the republicans are no damned better. Look at Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. All red republican states and all of them are poverty strickened and backward.
Had to watch this once again... I remember a bustling auto town 40 years ago... Far, far too much taking at the top... I'd be embarrassed to be an American automaker now, when taking into consideration this was where my company's roots came from... :P
"the destruction of America was set into motion the moment the first slaves came ashore" Yahweh Ben Yahweh

how do you feel about gays?
Charlie Reid
Oh no sir! I am just honest to confess that either consciously or otherwise that I have a tendency to judge a book by it's cover. There are many people of all colors who are way better than me. Thank you for giving a damn. If I have offended you at all, I hope I am forgiven.
You do understand that the first slave holder in this country was a black guy who owned another black guy. This country started to suck when guys like you Daniel started feeling bad about shit they never did.
Everyone also forgets that it was their own black people in Africa that rounded up the slaves and then sold them to English/Dutch and American people.
Ok, I get your point somewhat but lets be real here, the demise of Detroit as a wealthy city is not a "Black" but is a very complicated issue that encompasses, unions, work habits, manufacturer modernization or lack of it, Global sourcing, urbanization, poor and corrupt school boards etc etc.
It looks like at one time it was a happening place .The building are all decaying but damn there are so many .Where did everybody go?
Must have taken a great deal of effort to put this together thanks so much. I think your recordings are important
Detroit was a city, but it's now a ghost town.
seems like people have enough money for spray paint.
Yeah, blame the destruction the poor who could only afford to create street art
I've never been to Detroit, but to see all of this beautiful architecture go to waste like this makes me cry in rage.
So sad, it's deteriorating every where, the Good Lord said these things of material will surely pass away, I believe their is something to it.
I BELIEVE THAT %90 OF OUR POVERTY IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO OUR LAZYNESS WE ARE ALL GUILTY OF SOMETHING SO DON'T ANYBODY TRY TO BLAME THE OTHER GUY
The people and the jobs left, leaving behind the skeletal remains of a dead city. Eventually, this city will be a diminished memory, consumed by the elements of nature.
So sad. Some of those buildings are beautiful. Such a tragedy. I feel for the people still living there. Must be scary.
its not scary and dont feel bad
I agree 100,000% with you lacrymal1!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is your trailer park or chintzy small town hovel scary ?
DOES THIS MAKE YOU ANGRY?
It makes my 5.56 NATO angry as hell.
Well, I hope the mayor then, is now in jail with the rest of the city workers involved, who are responsible for allowing this to happen to this once great city.
just a idea here .With all the empty lots around clean up the lands and farm it with different produce.The market is there for food ,it will create employment and pretty sure people would be more happier ,no??
A great idea. I was thinking about it too... If only, there are not Monsanto and all these companies...
I want to work here, if I had some people with me. All is possible !! We can make a new Detroit.
Oh my... Why always to be too pessimist ? We can't have what we want if we are so afraid of danger.
I won't go there alone ;) :D But if you go with me guys, I'll go.
Very sad,
Many U S cities that once had manufacturing bases are becoming like this. Europe or Canada would never allow this to happen, because they have safety nets and truly care about their citizens. This country is adopting the Ayn Rand philosophy where selfisness is a virtue, and any kind of altruism is to be rejected. The right wing republican conservative base are the worst...all for the corporations, rich and billionaires and to Hell with everyone else...so sad.
Detroit is a lesson. Blacks and democrats are a lethal mix
Thanks for the video...I saw signs of once a very vibrant city, and over time, things just started to fall apart. Lots of buildings needs to be torn down and rebuilt, one section at a time. Will need lots of funds to do so. The Detriot Lions is one of my favorite football teams, they play hard...
What angers me , is the manner in the way it was allowed to happen . Clearly there was going to be a terrible backlash when the jobs were lost from the collapse of the Auto industry . Where was the Federal Government plan of action to address the consequence ; it's not just Storms that create national disasters !
This is an example of a city that relied too much on the auto industry. When it crumbled, they didn't have another industry to keep the city afloat.
This makes me so sad! Detroit is like a flower without water it won't grow.. meaning without jobs the city will die. We can't always cast the blame on others we have to realize that we the citizens have also contribute to this down fall. After pointing fingers back and forth, what can we do to change it!
Put your hands up for Detroit! I love the city! :D (Y)
Is it this famous American Dream?
Incredible
Jesus, thank you for sending the miracle of love to Detroit, Michigan.
This is your democratic party,wake up erica...
This is what happens when a city relies on one industry and it collapses!
Very sad video of a once Great City !
A Dislike . Read for more info
Sorry but to make it a ghetto you have to have loud music, shootings & arguments. All I saw was buildings :/
Good video and great music. Sorry to see great building and once a great city in decline.
Once beautiful brick buildings
I'm in tear's right now to see my home Detroit is like that I now live in New Jersey since year 1999 and I miss home and wish I had the Money to help my city I always love you Detroit.
thanks for sharing - just come back from Detroit myself and it is just one big ghost town. Especially enjoyed the old Michigan Theater - now a car park, where part of the Theater is still there (ceiling, balcony etc)
Yep. It was gutted for parking in 1977.
why the poor people of detroit aren't occupying these empty buildings ?and culture in these free areas their food?get some sheeps and cows and feed milk to their children?create their own schools and teach their children that capitalism and oligarchy brings death and hunger to people?teach them to self-management of their own life and community?because they've never been told about life against capitalism..that's why
I'm sorry but thats a large feat. That would require, love, organization, a plan and longterm effort. Black people are not equipped to come together long enough to do something positive such as what you suggested. Nice ideavthough, and that's all it will ever be in our lifetime. .....an IDEA
first comes the idea, then comes the action..maybe some activist groups could make a start .
sounds like a communist statement to me.
i dont live there and ive never been but it makes my heart heavy
IM FROM DETROIT AND I AM PROUD OF IT. congratulations, now you know someone
I will guarantee you.. Detroit is not the worlds biggest ghetto. Go to Honduras ... or Mexico.
right or Somalia.
+Tru7blue yep
+Jay J. Bennett It is sad that now you are in same category as Honduras or Mexico.
+Mario Hermoso no you may of misunderstood me..Detroit is no where as bad as Honduras or Mexico.

what songs are used in this video?
+Terri Towel I, too, would like to know more about the music.
and theirs millions of homeless people ,scandalous
My mother who is 85 years old grew up in Highland Park, thank God she is unable to view this video. She has fond memories of Detroit, and I want her to keep her happy memories. God save Detroit!
Don't let her watch Gran Torino.
Looks like the good part of town.
who wants ross perot now ?
we wouldn't be in the mess now, that for damn sure.
Looks like The Last of Us became real.
Good vid, sad--liked the music
breckandy legalize weed and boom problem handled it's that easy
I see so many beautifull buildings! so sad to see them all in decay. Detroit has a huge potential.
I have an idea anybody any company who can take one of those buildings and actually redo it to its former glory should get the building for free
It looks like Detroit has a chemtrail problem, too.
This is what happens when they outsource to save a buck!!
You are exactly right!
It happens when people buy cars made overseas and not at home. There is some outsourcing, but a lot of us spending our dollars overseas.
Almost 2 years, at least every week i open this video and listen this great music. Any name?
Amazing, here in Europe those building would allready been broken down and social houses and projects would be build. I am not a left wing voter, but some social projects are really good. (health care/ minimum income/ social security). Problem in the USA is the fighting against that, they always say it's a communist thing, problem is most of the USA people never been to Europe. Here lower class/ middle class and upper class lived mixed.
umm...............blacks............
That's how Eminem came in the world
A most beautifully haunting video and a great soundtrack....would love to know the music! Something about this city has fascinated me for a long time, you can see this would have been a beauty in its time, such a shame.
I've took my kids here for black history month. I want to..."keep it real"
