      He showed 2 blocks in Whitman Park and he need to get he's facts straight. Nobody's getting shot every day, graduation rate is way higher than he stated , not where it should be but waaaaaay better than he said , and rent is not cheap. That's why I know someone told him that bullshit instead of doing the research himself. I live in Camden , I don't live in Whitman Park, I have family that live there so I have first hand knowledge of the goings on there. He also failed to mention that they're white folks who live in the Whitman Park area that's been there 40-50 years I guess his people didn't tell that part.. If it was that bad them white folks would have left along time ago. FACTS!!!!!!!!!😠😠😷😷

    Totally agree about the single parent statement. I'm so proud of my mom. After my father left, the only place we could afford was in a terrible neighborhood. She worked three jobs to get us out of there and into a better area. She used to tell me that no one should look at us or hear us and know we were poor.

She wanted an intersection to know exactly where I was. I looked up and told her 5 mile and Woodward and she shouted over the phone *GO NORTH NOW!* and I was freaked out. She said not to stop at red lights if you see "windshield washers" head out to you when you slow down and if you see a crime, just turn your head and keep going. It was like a movie escape.

    Rochester, NY suffers from a steady and dramatic decline in opportunities for those who live in the city itself. I live in the suburbs and never go into the city. Starting in the early 1990's businesses started moving out of the city at such a high rate that there now is effectively no industry left in the city itself. The surrounding suburbs that house the universities now also have all of the businesses for the area. It's like each suburb is its own small city. Those who are left in the city now must travel to the burbs for work.

    Being born and raised in Detroit i can tell you that people brag about being from these places because that's all you have. Thinking positive isn't an option because there is nothing positive about living in these areas. The only way to fix these places is to change the way these people think. School, opening a business, etc isn't something that these people can fathom. The Marine Corps is how I got out and changed my way of thinking. We need to somehow make these people believe in the American dream. That anyone from anywhere can make it if you put in the work. No amount of government hand outs will fix anything going on in these communities. What they need is information about different avenues to become successful.

      It all starts with education. Downtrodden people can't start new and competitive businesses (to create local jobs and thus increase overall prosperity of the region) without knowledge of 1) how to operate a business and 2) innovation to become competitive. In order to get that knowledge, education is required. The biggest problem is that people in these regions are ignorant (and I don't say "ignorant" to denigrate them, just ignorance in the general sense of lacking knowledge and awareness) that they don't even realize that they should be demanding (with pitchforks and torches in hand) local and state government investment in public education. The neglect of public education in the US should be viewed as criminal.

      Those that benefit from welfare the most are White citizens. However, investment or tax dollars are not removed from White neighborhoods, giving more of an appearance of being better as those in White neighborhoods receive the assistance. Another example is Wall Street, which receives welfare but is classified as supplement income. In other words, if welfare dollars are give, while removing investment and tax dollars for infrastructure, you will end up with "bad neighborhoods." This is done purposely so the powers that be can move into that neighborhood for cheap, bringing investment and tax dollars. Running people of that community out. This is the pattern of U.S.A. neighborhoods.

    5:56 - In 1965, Motown Records bought the Supremes houses in Russell Woods on Buena Vista Avenue. That was the year after they’d begun having hit records and were so busy touring that they hadn’t yet moved out of Detroit’s Brewster projects where they’d grown up. The record label made the down payments, but the group members were responsible for paying their mortgages.

It took down all the business in the shopping center on Highway 25 and 72 including the Dominick's where I used to work at.

      TheRoShow there are many many beautiful rural and suburban towns with low crime rates across the USA. No urban sprawl, families living where their grandfather's BUILT and farmed, so plenty of respect for hard earned housing means low crime, intolerance for any b.s., and expectations of neighbors not acting like animals. When you come from those that created and built the community where you live, you appreciate it, and take care of it. Many towns which have been here for 200 years are still thriving and nice places to live.

    This is what happens when big businesses move jobs overseas. We used to have tariffs that took away the financial incentive for moving jobs. Build a car overseas for one quarter the price? No problem, we would just tack on an import tariff that would level the price with cars built in the US. Not anymore, though. The laws have changed. Outside the US, you can buy cheap labor. Inside the US, you can buy cheap politicians.

The town I lived in often had killings but I never worried as I was not a criminal, drug addict or drug dealer so I had no worries. I now live in a town with little to no crime, one of my better decisions. Need my property values to go up and have good schools for my kids.
