It really does and it’s depressing. I went to grant and lived in the area more than 20 years ago. Now it looks like a war zone. Michigan spends all their money on downtown Detroit to attract tourists while a lot of the city looks like this. They closed almost all of the schools, there are no movie theaters, malls, fine dining restaurants etc. As a kid, Detroit once had all of those things

@@TheMasterTelevision I remember hearing in an interview with Steve Perry that they just needed an extra syllable before "Detroit" and they weren't too familiar with the area, so they just threw "South" in front of it, haha

@Rowdy Jr. Demonrats are the worst of the worst. Globalists tend to be this way. However, I've never voted, for either side, so I agree with you. I feel so lucky, to be so pure and free of the corruption! :')
Yup gives them a sense of protection and comfort even in a run down house. Having a roof over your head is what most ever wanted not all homeless people are crazy so let this be a lesson to open up a bit and bring struggling people in to your house even for just the night. Have them share their stories educate your kids if you have any. Be thankful and grateful to whoever take/took care of you cause life aint free. You either die with a family or without one. Most people just give up and are ready to die if the time comes. Just want to let people know that no homeless are a nobody all were just like everybody else the innocent child who because of various reasons end up on the streets. Society is harsh to these people they may have been born unhealthy and were damned from the start. Instead of feeling sorry for them, do something to help its because of poor choices made, we have this problem. Things will get better for everyone dont lose faith. Thanks for reading this and just letting people know im not trying to be offensive in any type of way by how my comment was said just want to bring a little humor cause all this depressing sorry if anyone took it the wrong way. Anyways happy new years to everyone be safe!
They tryna be brazy Detroit became popular in the 1950s/60s when the Car companies came in. Then gas prices rose, foreign car companies started getting more market share, and inflation rose. American car companies also started getting lazy and put out increasingly gas inefficient and unreliable cars. This resulted in the Detroit car companies outsourcing for cheaper labor and as a result Detroit people got laid off en masse. Then mostly Caucasian people left the city to go to the suburbs. People call it the Great White Flight. Now the downtown and surrounding 5-9 mile radius are filled with crime and poverty. When I lived there I lived 25 miles out from downtown but my family grew up at 13 mile. (The roads are named after how far they are from the city) They said that 13 mile used to be the middle class area. So it seems to be spreading.
Morris Aaa once the city started failing with the decline of the auto industries the US government just basically told them to go to hell and let them die lol
Jesus loves you all ❤️ John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he sent his one and only son that whoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life” Jesus loves you and he stands at the door of your life and knocks. Will you invite him in ? He loves you so much! the first step is simply talking to him and believing in him
Jon W nope this is not some random guy. I’m talking Jesus the king of the world, he is God and healed me of a 13 year addiction. No counselor and not even myself but it was through Jesus and calling on his name that I am free. I’m telling you Jesus is real !
Given the vandalism, weather, and lack of attention, it's amazing that any of these beautiful old houses are even still standing. Their architecture, craftsmanship, and quality of materials has not been replicated in the past 70 years. Such a shame that the marvelous school is closed and abandoned. Sorry to see what's happened to wonderful Detroit. Hope the city can get its act together. It's too much of a treasure for this to continue.
Grant elementary school. That was my school, the best in the city. Mrs Thomas, Mrs. Simms, Mr Richardson. Mrs. Gherdinni. It was a great place to grow up. I had my first fight on that front lawn in first grade. But a lot of good things also happened here also. Most of the teachers cared about the students.
@CharlieBo..doesn't this burn you up inside seeing your old neighbourhood end up like this ? if my place ended up like this I would be devastated,i really feel for you man,and I hope someone saves it some day before its too late,you can tell it was once a beautiful place with nice areas and nice homes,what a crying shame,i have never even been there and its hurting me just seeing it go to waste..
Detroit is actually getting better rn but the sad part is all they care about is the parts close to downtown so if this area does get built up it won't be for a long time I grew up around this area on peidmont

Don't know why this popped in my recommended, but it makes me feel for my neighborhoods future. I'm going off to college in a good seven or so months and my neighborhood looking like this just a little more tidier. Not to dox myself, but I'm out in the suburbs of Chicago and it's day and night with some neighborhoods. Some streets look like crackhead central, then you scoot a town over and it's some goody two shoes grand houses. They opened a new homeless shelter down the block last year, and I don't even bother walking over to the Seven Eleven anymore because it's so dangerous sometimes. I know this rich/poor divide only going to get worse, but I just don't want to revisit my old house and find out it's all torn apart and shit. I dead ass watched this video and only saw my house.

Take away all the crime, this wouldn't be nearly as bad a place to live. But people get shot and emergency services are not really functional. Good luck finding a good hospital too.

Yeah, they’ve also torn down whole neighborhoods in Detroit because they decayed worse than the ones in this video and because gangs started using them for selling drugs. Makes me sad because those houses used to be pretty and every home had a history.
Dude there is practically no cops in Detroit. They dont go to most calls for at least an hour because of the hundreds of crimes happening daily. And it only takes a second to be murdered. Your looking at the worst of the worst America has to offer
its returning boomerang for all the things americans did to other countries. now its happening in your country, and other cities are also beggining to fall appart. because of your greed

I love your story about walking to school . I now live in my orig hometown of elementary school . It's a great story . I'm sure you had lots of friends to walk with . Great memory ..as you get older ,they often mean alot .
I live in Mexico , streets are even worst , the difference between you and me is that... any moment you want you can move to some decent place in the U.S. , and I cant.
you shouldve seen war-torn europe throughout history, and the blessings of its "peaceful" people. all the war and genocide you can handle and this is BEFORE they left europe to spread their "love" elsewhere! lol
I love the architecture on that school. A shame to see it abandoned. It looks like they removed all the glass or they did a thorough job of smashing it out. Very eerie looking.
I give you credit for making an effort to get yourself out of these areas. I see on a lot of your interviews with gang members that it is definitely a system problem but you also can hear the resignation in them, the is what it is attitude and why bother with it. It takes an effort on everybody’s part to change for sure and good jobs to you for getting out and helping to educate those of us who have not experienced these things.
It so sad since so many school closed, the government failed the city. No care to fund the schools, rebuild them or anything like that. But i will say your video reminds me of when me and my family would walk to school. I went to Brady Elementary School. We'd walk from Hazelwood to Brady. In Middle school I went to Allen Academy for 8th grade. Would walk from Hazelwood to there. 7th grade went to Noble Middle School, walked from Birwood to there. Back in the day walking to school was such a normal thing in United States society. Now, because of crime, gang violence, trafficking, etc kids aren't walking to school in the US anymore. Those who still do, are in big groups.
Great video. The rest of America needs to see more of this. Actually, the world oughta see what can happen to places that were once so rich and booming, like Detroit. Most American cities are safe from ever turning the way Detroit did because of the diversification of industries that they run off, whereas Detroit was so reliant on the manufacturing during the mid 20th century. As for domestic Americans, so many are unaware or otherwise ignorant to the amount of segregation and 2nd tale of these cities. I spent 3 years living in Brookfield WI, an affluent white suburb city of Milwaukee. They called it the "Brookfield Bubble", because kids were so seperated and not concerned about the ghettos that were RIGHT there, starting down a few blocks from where our nice school was. Now here in Seattle, most people don't even know the concept of a ghetto the way ghettos are in the Midwest, East Coast, and the South. They call their city "gritty" lmao, cuz they compare it to Vancouver. It's all relative. A Russian or Brazilian would probably just shrug at this lol
What makes it even sadder is how nice all of Detroit could be. A lot of the abandoned houses that were built between the 1910-30s could be such beautiful homes.
Imagine this... You use you play with your friends in those streets with blue skies and beautiful trees... old people having tea in their lawn...people walking their dogs... teenagers in the bike.... But now it's all gone....
I know a guy who grew up in Detroit and when he was in middle school walking home with his cousin, some other group of kids ran up and just popped his cousin in the head. He said he could see the smoke from the wound when his cousin was on the ground. He also found a dead body in a dumpster. Crazy shit
This looks like every northern town in January except it's less abandoned Just take the time to cruise around and you will eventually find a area somewhat like this
A lot of people assume this is just Detroit... it’s not. It’s a lot of suburban MI cities. Grew up around Flint myself and my parents have the same stories of “here’s where I grew up, but we can’t get out of the car to see it because it’s too dangerous now” :(
Do not miss living in Detroit for the first 10 years of my life. Saw things no kid should see that I still remember till this day and heard gun shots every night it felt like. When I visited my dad I always heard shootings and my dad would make us lay down on the ground till it stopped it was so frequent I was scared to go over his house. Still am.
Man such a waste of a city... it's hard to believe it used to be booming there and now its nothing but a run down ghost town ( from what I've seen in videos) it looks really sketchy. Growing up on a farm in Ontario my entire life I've never seen anything quite like this!
Northern canadian towns/cities look like this too just go north in ontario away from toronto and it's similar to this vid. People here are miserable depressed abusing alcohol and drugs because theres nothing to do.
And this video is from two years ago, what is like now...maybe a visit at night on foot with expensive jewlery on a camping night in the elementary school. Now thats a video i would like to watch!
@@androsp9105 America is car dependent as fuck, you'll only see one or two pedestrians in SAFE suburban neighborhoods. Kinda the fault of bad urban planning/sprawl
my friend got robbed at a red light in detroit. when he stopped at the intersection he got boxed in and robbed. apparently its smart to roll through all red lights and stop signs in bad neighborhoods like there
You'd be amazed at what happens to an unoccupied house. Knew folks that lived on the west side. Neighboring house was vacant for 3 years but you'd have guessed at least a decade based on how it looked. Imagine the housing stock in a city that lost half of it's population over a few decades.
Yes Hattori. People can strip them to the bare wood in a matter of weeks. I saw one beautiful McMansion (yes a newer home like the ones on Sandbar Ln that go for around $600k but it was northwest... Rosedale or smthg) last year with 6 or 8 bedrooms, 3 storeys, 4 bathrooms and a pool out back. There were pics of it 3 months earlier with the pool filled and the shrubs trimmed all nice. It looked like the owners were only on vacation. A short 3 months later, the house was listed for $69 000 bc it was a carved out wreck inside. Thieves had ripped the kitchen and bathrooms apart, yanked all the light fixtures and huge chunks of the walls out in that time. The place was still fully furnished. The thieves didn't even want the gorgeous white leather sectional in the living room. They just dumped everything and took what they could sell. Metal, sinks, furnaces, wiring, etc. Once chunks of the walls and ceilings are gone and the windowframes are pulled off, the awful Michigan weather does the rest. The place can rot down to unsalvageable in less than a year. That's when the owners usually end up setting fires so they can at least collect their insurance money.
There is a theory that if all the people leave a city for a whole decade and come back, the city itself will be indistinguishable and animals will come back as well as grass on roads. I not sure it's true but its kinda surreal to think about.
Detroit looks like it went through a nuclear war.

0:14 looks like that one house from IT

This alien movie set looks really good. Building destruction is perfect for an alien invasion film.
That was my old church I was raised in . It was called Bethesda . Thanks for the memory's
Few of these houses have cars on the driveways indicating there are people living in them.But how safe is it to live in these neighbourhoods?
Totally safe. Its like Beverly Hills.
Dude there is practically no cops in Detroit. They dont go to most calls for at least an hour because of the hundreds of crimes happening daily. And it only takes a second to be murdered. Your looking at the worst of the worst America has to offer
its returning boomerang for all the things americans did to other countries. now its happening in your country, and other cities are also beggining to fall appart. because of your greed
This is a regular neighborhood here in Durango, Mexico

I work in Detroit all night every night, all areas of Detroit to Dearborn. I deliver shit to houses not all of it looks bad
Love the commentary, gives some more incite. Keep up the good work.
Red Blooded yes, with german subtitles hahaha
I love your story about walking to school . I now live in my orig hometown of elementary school . It's a great story . I'm sure you had lots of friends to walk with . Great memory ..as you get older ,they often mean alot .

I love the architecture on that school. A shame to see it abandoned. It looks like they removed all the glass or they did a thorough job of smashing it out. Very eerie looking.
Man you driving wrong way on a one way street!
That's my old block...It doesn't matter. You won't see a cop with in miles of there LMAO!!
Joe Jones lol
black folk don't give NO fucks
That city could use some road and sidewalk reconstruction but I’m guessing the snow keeps damaging it.
I give you credit for making an effort to get yourself out of these areas. I see on a lot of your interviews with gang members that it is definitely a system problem but you also can hear the resignation in them, the is what it is attitude and why bother with it. It takes an effort on everybody’s part to change for sure and good jobs to you for getting out and helping to educate those of us who have not experienced these things.
"It's open, but I am not going in there." That right there, is a smart move. He'd have been eaten alive by zombies.
The homes at the start look like they were decent houses at one point.
What a shame.
It's like that where I grew up in Brightmoor as well, no more homes. There used to be a house on every lot and a family in every house.
Rip the school , the land ,the neighborhood !
Damn that's a long walk.
do more commentary in your videos charliebo313, I'm digging the history
You had to walk that far to school every day ? That's quite a hike in winter. Love your videos.

This makes my hood look like the white suburbs.
Reminds me of LA back in the 80s
It so sad since so many school closed, the government failed the city. No care to fund the schools, rebuild them or anything like that. But i will say your video reminds me of when me and my family would walk to school. I went to Brady Elementary School. We'd walk from Hazelwood to Brady. In Middle school I went to Allen Academy for 8th grade. Would walk from Hazelwood to there. 7th grade went to Noble Middle School, walked from Birwood to there. Back in the day walking to school was such a normal thing in United States society.
Now, because of crime, gang violence, trafficking, etc kids aren't walking to school in the US anymore. Those who still do, are in big groups.
This is every other working class town in the US honestly.
Props to Quantic Dream bc this place looks more like a horror videogame scenario, not a sci-fi one lol
Great video. The rest of America needs to see more of this. Actually, the world oughta see what can happen to places that were once so rich and booming, like Detroit. Most American cities are safe from ever turning the way Detroit did because of the diversification of industries that they run off, whereas Detroit was so reliant on the manufacturing during the mid 20th century.
As for domestic Americans, so many are unaware or otherwise ignorant to the amount of segregation and 2nd tale of these cities. I spent 3 years living in Brookfield WI, an affluent white suburb city of Milwaukee. They called it the "Brookfield Bubble", because kids were so seperated and not concerned about the ghettos that were RIGHT there, starting down a few blocks from where our nice school was. Now here in Seattle, most people don't even know the concept of a ghetto the way ghettos are in the Midwest, East Coast, and the South. They call their city "gritty" lmao, cuz they compare it to Vancouver.
It's all relative. A Russian or Brazilian would probably just shrug at this lol
What makes it even sadder is how nice all of Detroit could be. A lot of the abandoned houses that were built between the 1910-30s could be such beautiful homes.
Imagine this...
You use you play with your friends in those streets with blue skies and beautiful trees... old people having tea in their lawn...people walking their dogs... teenagers in the bike....
But now it's all gone....
um how would the blue skies and the trees be gone?
I know a guy who grew up in Detroit and when he was in middle school walking home with his cousin, some other group of kids ran up and just popped his cousin in the head. He said he could see the smoke from the wound when his cousin was on the ground. He also found a dead body in a dumpster. Crazy shit
Detroit is in such a bad shape. It's the perfect setting for a video game! 😁

Love your vids man. God Bless.
Some politician somewhere says "we just need more money to fix the problems"
This looks like every northern town in January except it's less abandoned
Just take the time to cruise around and you will eventually find a area somewhat like this
Makes you wonder what Detroit will look like in another 20 to 30 years. Very sad.
The cass corridor back in the 80s was a damn nightmare to live in too
A lot of people assume this is just Detroit... it’s not. It’s a lot of suburban MI cities. Grew up around Flint myself and my parents have the same stories of “here’s where I grew up, but we can’t get out of the car to see it because it’s too dangerous now” :(
Do not miss living in Detroit for the first 10 years of my life. Saw things no kid should see that I still remember till this day and heard gun shots every night it felt like. When I visited my dad I always heard shootings and my dad would make us lay down on the ground till it stopped it was so frequent I was scared to go over his house. Still am.
Man such a waste of a city... it's hard to believe it used to be booming there and now its nothing but a run down ghost town ( from what I've seen in videos) it looks really sketchy. Growing up on a farm in Ontario my entire life I've never seen anything quite like this!
I live in Ontario too and I recently visited Detroit. It's shocking :(
It's amazing how poor neighbourhoods in america look like upper class neighbourhoods where I come from

Northern canadian towns/cities look like this too just go north in ontario away from toronto and it's similar to this vid. People here are miserable depressed abusing alcohol and drugs because theres nothing to do.
And this video is from two years ago, what is like now...maybe a visit at night on foot with expensive jewlery on a camping night in the elementary school. Now thats a video i would like to watch!
*Imagine walking through streets on rainy dark days* ..😳😳 Nightmare looks so spooky
50% of the houses look like they are haunted...
if they restored detroit and brought employment and public services this would of been a beautiful city
This is what people don’t want to see when you talk about Detroit. They see the big rich urban area and think it’s all cleaned up. Sad.
Silent Hill needs to catch up 💀
They could literally shoot the walking dead here without changing the scenery at all.
Georgia is already a wasteland
I can attest to that, since I have been living here for nearly 20 years.
Ok true

@@vlonelone311 The quote isn't meant to be literal, but rather figurative.
Detroit looks like a post apocalyptic city like they show in Hollywood.

@Kahn Girde' you make it out soon keep your head up
Or in those zombie games people play.
And Hollywood gets behind the kind of politics that ruined the city
The lack of pedestrians is unsettling.
even rich parts of america are like that

@@zivex5860 Do people not walk places in the us?
@@androsp9105 America is car dependent as fuck, you'll only see one or two pedestrians in SAFE suburban neighborhoods. Kinda the fault of bad urban planning/sprawl
my friend got robbed at a red light in detroit. when he stopped at the intersection he got boxed in and robbed. apparently its smart to roll through all red lights and stop signs in bad neighborhoods like there
Damn
Your friend shoulda had a gun on him.
Someone I worked with told me that also happened to her father in Detroit too. They put a shotgun to his head.
Or just lock your doors

It must be surreal to see the place you grew up wither away in such a short amount of time.
You'd be amazed at what happens to an unoccupied house. Knew folks that lived on the west side. Neighboring house was vacant for 3 years but you'd have guessed at least a decade based on how it looked. Imagine the housing stock in a city that lost half of it's population over a few decades.
Yes Hattori. People can strip them to the bare wood in a matter of weeks. I saw one beautiful McMansion (yes a newer home like the ones on Sandbar Ln that go for around $600k but it was northwest... Rosedale or smthg) last year with 6 or 8 bedrooms, 3 storeys, 4 bathrooms and a pool out back. There were pics of it 3 months earlier with the pool filled and the shrubs trimmed all nice. It looked like the owners were only on vacation. A short 3 months later, the house was listed for $69 000 bc it was a carved out wreck inside. Thieves had ripped the kitchen and bathrooms apart, yanked all the light fixtures and huge chunks of the walls out in that time. The place was still fully furnished. The thieves didn't even want the gorgeous white leather sectional in the living room. They just dumped everything and took what they could sell. Metal, sinks, furnaces, wiring, etc. Once chunks of the walls and ceilings are gone and the windowframes are pulled off, the awful Michigan weather does the rest. The place can rot down to unsalvageable in less than a year. That's when the owners usually end up setting fires so they can at least collect their insurance money.
Just like fucking giant big footed termites!
When you look at it like that,thats one huge step backwards.Can understand how most places just don't ever recover.
There is a theory that if all the people leave a city for a whole decade and come back, the city itself will be indistinguishable and animals will come back as well as grass on roads. I not sure it's true but its kinda surreal to think about.
