  1. I think Detroit has competition.
    298
  2. These houses have been abandoned a long time. This didn't just happen yesterday. Once they were all thriving neighborhoods which shows how huge the auto industry was and how it provided a good life for so many people before it all fell apart.
    177
  3. Detroit residents should be real proud of themselves, what they've done to their neighborhoods in that they've forced fast food restaurants to protect themselves as if it were a bank. It's probably the only way people will work there.
    101
  4. There used to be a guy who patrolled the abandoned neighborhoods of Detroit, keeping an eye on what was going on and reporting crimes. I watched a lot of his videos but can't recall who he was now. This was a few years ago.
    86
  5. I see a lot of expensive cars parked on the street.I sure as hell wouldn't want to leave my car parked in this neighborhood.
    83
  6. Some roads ad neighborhoods are so bad the city simply block them off. E. Cleveland didn't want to be a part of bigger Cleveland, opting to stand on its own. Economic base was lost, and you have Detroit 2.0. E. Cleveland is definitely one of the worst places for deterioration in the country. No place in America should look like this.
    72
  7. How about these people standing around with nothing to do, I assume on unemployment, food stamps and welfare, organize community crime watch groups, clean up the litter and leave the empty houses alone, unvandalized? They could put their idle time to some use if they had a lick of motivation. The city might even help them do it and provide assistance. Instead they lie around and blame everyone else.
    67
  8. Detroit maybe a bit worse.
    52
  9. Human trash!
    51
  10. This is what's become of what was once the most beautiful state in the union. Where's Gavin Newsom? Keep voting for democrats, CA! I feel sorry for the dogs.
    45
  11. To hell with him. Why doesn't the get off his ass and help clean up the neighborhood?
    45
  12. Is it any wonder? They'd be robbed, looted and vandalized in no time. You cannot afford to do business in such an environment as Detroit today.
    44
  13. It's a tough call but I think Detroit continues to be the winner. I can't get over the amount of trash thrown all over in both places. As if abandoned and burned out buildings aren't enough, the trash is everywhere. That any place in America should look like this is an absolute disgrace.
    43
  14. It's nice to know this is our nation's capitol!
    39
  15. There's always a few houses in nice shape and still lived in among all the abandoned and vandalized stuff. Some people keep hanging on hoping for a better future. I wonder what they pay in real estate taxes? They should be allowed to live there tax-free.
    38
  16. Terrance: I think Detroit is the champion of urban decay.
    34
  17. Detroit has a serious urban decay problem and can't do anything about it. LA has a serious homeless problem and won't do anything about it. For some reason te clientele are always the same.
    32
  18. I notice in these videos there's always a few home scattered about that are still lived in as people try to hang on, or, as you say, can't sell if they wanted to.
    29
  19. I wonder if Gavin Newsom ever takes this drive?
    25
  20.  @briroc26  AOC's doing a great job, isn't she?
    25
  21. Entitlement mentality. She needs $20 so someone is supposed to just hand it over.
    24
  22. In this case, below sea level!
    24
  23. All these jerks standing around with nothing to do. How about they clean up their neighborhood?
    23
  24. 200 billion for Ukraine but no money to help these people out.
    23
  25. What a thriving metropolis Detroit once was. It's hard to believe how badly it's deteriorated over the years yet some people manage to hang on and keep up their houses. It appears many more tear downs are needed.
    21
  26. It sure would. Obviously they weren't' built to accommodate cars.
    20
  27. Nowhere in the USA should look like this.
    19
  28. It's a typical old PA industrial town like Bethlehem, Allentown, Scranton, you name it. No more industry, but somehow people manage to hang on.
    18
  29. I certainly do appreciate Charlie Boo's videos. They take me lots of places I'd never be otherwise. Here it seems to be nothing but rampant poverty and ramshackle buildings as far as the eye can see.
    18
  30. Just when i thought we'd seen the worst of Detroit, Charlie brings us this. Shocking a huge city could become so devastated and it's been going on a long time. This level of urban decay didn't happen overnight.
    18
  31. He sure beats up his car doing these videos. Nice of him to do that to bring this information to everyone.
    18
  32. Not too long ago these hoods were totally dark at night. Detroit has managed to put in quite a few street lights.
    17
  33. Still doens't look as bad as Detroit, E. Cleveland, Gary, IN or Cairo, IL, to name a few. Remember when it used to be fun to go to Mexico even if just for a day of shopping?
    17
  34. Off somewhere trying to promote woke agendas.
    17
  35. Looks like a rather depressing place to live.
    17
  36. No matter how impoverished these places are there's always some expensive vehicles and cars with no license plates. All these places look as if theyr'e built on a flood plane. Don't want to live there. I feel sorry for the dogs I saw.
    17
  37. People who stayed in their homes and kept them up should be gifted the lot or buildings on either side of them to do with as they wish.
    16
  38. All of those houses must have been lived in at one time with friends and neighbors all around. They've been empty for a long time. This didn't happen overnight.
    16
  39. Every time I think Detroit can't get any worse Charlie Boo comes out with a new video that proves me wrong, or at least shows it's not getting any better. It's still hard to believe a city in the USA could fall into such rack and ruin and so many obviously once beautiful homes simply abandoned and left to vandalism and arson.
    16
  40. Some people are hanging on hoping for a miracle.
    15
  41. What a nice environment in which to raise children.
    14
  42. Of all the towns Charlie Boo has presented that I've watched, I think these were the worst roads. Then there's always a few that dump old mattresses out along the street. How do the graffiti artists get up to high to paint their murals?
    14
  43. I noticed a few rather expensive vehicles; monster pickups, SUVs. I can't afford them. How do they do it?
    14
  44. I wonder if they were going to do that. Thanks, guys!
    14
  45. Thanks for the tour. It's incredible how they keep all those old high-rise apartments and businesses going. amazing infrastructure.
    14
  46. Lots of videos on Detroit, but not much on Flint since the last year. Flint's been forgotten.
    14
  47. Another victim of the decline of the auto industry. Buick City was here once; 250 acres, GM's oldest and largest facility. Even after spending million to renovate and upgrade it, they closed and tore it down. Who knows how many jobs were lost.
    13
  48. Same old story. The jobs leave and the town goes to hell. Campell's Soup used to be here.
    13
  49. Looks much worse than Jersey City. Trash, bad roads, abandoned factories and the jobs that went with them, lots of cars but hardly a soul around. No thanks.
    13
  50. Welcome to a state run by democrats.
    13
  51. Detroit revitalization has a long way to go.
    13
  52. We'll see how E. Palestine, OH does.
    13
  53. The streets are in about the same condition as everywhere in PA: A little smooth pavement, then tobacco road.
    12
  54. I love the dirt road lined with dumpsters yet all the trash is on the ground. I feel sorry for the dogs.
    12
  55. Blacks live in their cars.
    12
  56. Most buildings seem kept up and not much trash around. One big factory shuttered. Imagine all the jobs that once held.
    12
  57. Just another reminder to stay out of Philadelphia. As usual, many expensive cars and cars with no license plates. why would anyone buy a nice car and park it in a neighborhood like this?
    12
  58. What day of the week is this? Everyone I see is standing around doing nothing. I see a lot of expensive cars: Mercedes, Cadillac, monster pickup trucks. I work every day and don't have any of those.
    12
  59. Detroit remains the champion of urban decay. No doubt about it.
    11
  60. If you do it bring a gun. You have no idea who you might meet in these hoods.
    11
  61. Why the hell didn't you buy a new battery?
    11
  62. Any one of these black dudes could walk through a white neighborhood alone and no one would bother him. Let's see a white guy walk through this neighborhood.
    11
  63. A lot of these homes look like cheap construction to begin with. Now they sit empty, falling apart. I'm glad I don't live there.
    11
  64. I'm trying to imagine these guys as middle aged, productive citizens. What's going to become of them? Who's going to build businesses and run this country?
    11
  65. I can't believe all the litter What's wrong with people to live like that? Although some places looked as if they'd been cleaned up a bit.
    11
  66. Lori Lightfoot runs a great city. Everyone keeps voting for her.
    11
  67. Now and then I wonder if Detroit is getting any better. It doesn't appear to be.
    11
  68. Obviously all of Detroit isn't bad. I'd bet a lot of these homes are old money; people that have been wealthy a long time and were not effected by the downturn in the auto industry. I see a few of the houses are for sale. I wonder how they feel about "the other side of town?"
    10
  69. I believe New Orleans and Louisiana are so corrupt the federal government doesn't even want to bother sending any aid. The money just evaporates. No money's going into the roads. That's obvious. People should demand better.
    10
  70. As if the abandoned buildings aren't bad enough there's all the trash thrown out along the sidewalks. I don't see that in other depressed cities and towns. Congratulations on re-electing Gretchen Whitmer, MI. None of this is going to change.
    10
  71. Detroit remains the champion of urban decay. No place in America should look like this.
    10
  72. I wonder what kind of car Charlie Boo has? He sure runs the hell out of it. Thanks for bringing us all the views of different cities throughout the country.
    10
  73. True that!
    10
  74. Government puts up "affordable housing" and residents trash that, too.
    10
  75. CharlieBo's getting brave. He better be careful.
    10
  76. Same old story. Loss of industry and loss of jobs, then government moves the trash in.
    10
  77. Sherwood Forest in Detroit looked very inviting, but Buckhead, Atlanta blows it away. Some of those homes look like schools, not even houses. If that old guy at 5:25 in Bankhead hasn't made it by now, I don't think he's going to. He was just like the young ones he's talking to at one time. What happened? Life passed him by.
    9
  78. No difference. Uniparty.
    9
  79. Everything was fine until GM shut down Buick City.
    9
  80. I always think about that when watching these urban decay videos. People in America shouldn't have to live like this eve if you are poor. But don't forget how many new apartment complexes have been built then the residents trash them. IF you did a lot for these people, would they appreciate it?
    9
  81. What do people that still live here do for a livelihood? Judging by the size and construction of many of the homes, this must have been an extremely prosperous area at one time built mostly on the auto industry. How did we let it all slip away? It's a disgrace an city in the USA should look like this.
    9
  82. I always see so many expensive cars curbside and some with no license plate. Strange.
    9
  83. GM's "Buick City" was the largest and oldest site in the corporation; 250 acres. After spending millions to renovate and upgrade it, they shut it down and demolished everything. There went all the jobs and there goes the town. What a shame. Where's Gretchen Whitmer?
    9
  84. Not great but not as bad as Detroit. The buildings that are boarded up don't appear to have been vandalized. There isn't tons of trash thrown around all over the place. I see a lot of nice cars. Apparently the residents can afford them.
    9
  85. Lots of urban prairie that certainly was homes and businesses at one time. there was one huge industry that appears to be closed. Overall not nearly as bad as Detroit, but lots of abandoned places and not many people around.
    9
  86. I remember hearing about LA-Watts decades ago and it was bad then.
    9
  87. One thing in common between the two neighborhoods: Everyone's black.
    8
  88. Both lost the auto industry and the jobs.
    8
  89. It looks as bad as Detroit. Buick City used to be here: A 250 acre site that once employed tens of thousands of people. Now it's closed and torn down.
    8
  90. Keep voting for democrats, NY!
    8
  91. Darryl: The democrats love keepin the blacks down on the plantation and they don't even realize it. Keep them dependent on meager government handouts in the form of welfare and food stamps, and they've got the votes. The black man needs to rise up against this exploitation. A conservative, self-reliant black man or woman is the democrats worst nightmare.
    8
  92. As a school bus driver myself I can't imagine driving through hoods like this picking up kids.
    8
  93. How many of these people are unemployed? Why don't they start neighborhood crime watches and work on cleaning up all the trash? I see some people got together and made a fence out of used tires. That's a good thing. At least some people got off there asses and did something.
    8
  94. I think Camden makes this look upscale.
    8
  95. Some of the brick houses are probably structurally sound and could be renovated. They're better built than a lot of new homes.
    8
  96. Sometimes I wonder if things are getting better in Detroit. I guess not.
    8
  97. Shame on America for allowing any part of the country to deteriorate to this! The open spaces must have been houses that were torn down with rubble removed, but there's still much to be done. Then there's always a few people hanging on, keeping up their homes and still living there.Detroit is certainly the king of urban decay. All the work and resources that went into building this neighborhood and now it's come to this. What a shame.
    8
  98. I think you're right.
    8
  99. Yeah? Where? How about that power clean this place up? All that trash!
    8
  100. Competition from foreign car manufacturers and bad management on the part of the Big 3 didn'' help, either.
    7
  101. I'm sure they're worried about looting. There's no Wal-Mart, either. They'd rob the places blind.
    7
  102. Some parts of our country still mine coal. It generates 1/3 of our electricity. It comes out of the hills of West Virginia by the train load and other places.
    7
  103. The auto industry was humming back then and everyone was making money.
    7
  104. As GM prepares to move into their new plush headquarters a few blocks away they hope for taxpayer money assistance disposing of the old buildings as so much of Detroit remains a wasteland.
    7
  105. No excuse for any American city to be like this.
    7
  106. I feel sorry for any bird or other animal living in this environment.
    7
  107. 50 years later, this is what LBJ's "Great Society" has created.
    7
  108. I see lots of railroad tracks. It must have been a busy industrial area at one time until it was all sent to China. Once again, thank you democrats! Vote for Biden!
    7
  109. Certainly not the worst place Charlie's visited. Things look pretty tidy with a few abandoned houses here and there, but not many. No trash strewn all over, either. I like the sound of the train in the background. Seems very devoid of humanity. Empty streets everywhere. Maybe everyone's gone to the moon.
    7
  110.  @dalemcnamee2427  I don't see any street lights, either. Imagine this at night. And the condition of the roads just getting to and from your home.
    7
  111. Didn't Michael Jackson come from here?
    7
  112. People tell me looks are deceiving. They're much worse.
    7
  113. This guy CharlieBo313 sure gets around.
    7
  114. Does the city of Detroit plow any of these roads? Too bad for those who have kept up their houses surrounded by urban decay. I lost count of how many liquor stores showed up. Seems to be plenty of them. It's nice Detroit finally got seem working street lights in place. Where's Gretchen Whitmer? Does she ever visit this place?
    7
  115. I noticed that too. Nothing like Detroit, E. Cleveland, even San Francisco and Los Angeles homeless encampments.
    7
  116. The open spaces must have all been homes at one time with many more in need of demolition. Interesting that amid all the urban decay life goes on for some people including having parties. I noticed a new stretch of sidewalk installed in front of vacant lots. Some guy's car on jacks for repairs. Apparently he gave up and left it there. Things still look pretty bad in Detroit.
    7
  117. Do GM executives from the ivory tower downtown ever drive through these neighborhoods and look at the results of sending the jobs to Mexico? I wondered if things were getting better in Detroit, but it doesn't look like it. It must be scary at night in these hoods. I don't see any street lights. Some of the houses are still kept up and lived in surrounded by all the carnage. It's got to be pretty frightening when the sun goes down. Do the fire hydrants still work?
    7
  118. They sure like fences in this hood, don't thy? Is that to keep people out or keep them in?
    7
  119. Imagine the original owners who planned them and were so excited to move in.
    7
  120. It was at one time before all the jobs left.
    7
  121. I would virtually guarantee it was once a nice area.
    6
  122. This neighborhood actually doesn't look too bad. I don't know if I'd want to live there, but I've seen a lot worse.
    6
  123. He slowed down. that's called a rolling stop. You can do it when no one's around.
    6
  124. And those are probably shop-lifted on a regular basis, too.
    6
  125. You can't be serious. What did Obama do about this situation in 8 years?
    6
  126. This is probably an almost daily occurrence in the once fabulous and prosperous Detroit .
    6
  127. Apparently attempts to revitalize areas are also thwarted by the trash that lives there. why would anyone build new houses then let them sit empty? They'd be better off leaving the land vacant.
    6
  128. I wondered if things were getting any better in Detroit, but I guess not.
    6
  129. Somewhere among this concrete jungle are the remains of Acme Steel's coke plant; another business that once thrived and provided good jobs for a lot of people.
    6
  130. we 're too busy sending aid to Ukraine.
    6
  131. What's racist about it?
    6
  132. MissRosa: This is why I think an effort to clean up the city could e successful if people wanted to get off their lazy asses and do it.
    6
  133. Detroit's population actually peaked in 1950, a long time ago when the auto industry was booming. This decay has been going on for a long time. What a shame this was allowed to happen.
    6
  134. 1955 was a banner year for the auto industry. Output was spectacular. Most of it came from Detroit. To this day many cars from 1955 survive, but the place of their birth is a ghost town.
    6
  135. You'd have to be brave to hang in this hood.
    6
  136. This place look like Martha's Vineyard compared to E. Cleveland. Maybe Charlie Boo ought to visit there while he's in OH.
    6
  137. There ae a few videos on You Tube of these neighborhoods in the hey day, but not many. Mostly old home movies.
    6
  138. Definitely not as bad as Detroit. It reminds me of Bethlehem, PA as the steel mill was dying. I thought the roads in PA are bad! I used to know a girl who lived in Newburgh. She commuted to Morristown, NJ every day for her job. That was back in the 70s. It was probably a nicer place then.
    6
  139. Isn't someone supposed to mow the lawn? I don't understand how people can live with all that trash thrown around.
    6
  140. Seems as if hardly anyone else can, either! 🙂
    6
  141. Why is a new sidewalk being installed around the abandoned church? Why bother?
    6
  142. The quality of construction of most of these buildings is amazing plus the ornate facades. There must have been a lot of prosperity here at one time to have built them. There's way too much of this decay all across the country. While Detroit remains the granddaddy of them all, it seems many others are trying to catch up. It's despicable.
    6
  143. If you have a lot of money you can live anywhere.
    6
  144. He's got nerve for sure!
    6
  145. Do you blame him? I didn't see anyone to interview in this video.
    6
  146. It's doing much better than Detroit!
    6
  147. This is what we have to show for the nation's capitol? Another city run by democrats.
    6
  148. I like the guys on bikes engaging in exercise while inhibit their breathing with a mask. Where is the mayor and town council that allows trash to lay around the streets? As soon as a person is seen setting up a tent they should be arrested.
    6
  149. It's almost like off grid but with electricity and running water, (I assume.)
    6
  150. Looks like one of the better areas Charlie has visited. Detroit used to look like this but with bigger and better homes.
    6
  151. Me too!
    6
  152. We have this in Detroit and all the liberals can focus on is illegal immigrants pouring over the southern border from Guatemala. Nobody gives a damn about these people, especially democrats. What did Obama do in 8 years? Nothing!
    6
  153. Only jobs will do that.
    5
  154. They did go through war. Economic war. That's the mot destructive kind.
    5
  155. It's astonishing to think Detroit's economy was once robust enough to support these neighborhoods. It shows how much has been lost. All the time, money and work that went into building them just to have it come to this? What a tragedy. I'm surprised at how close together many of them are, even the big brick and stucco places. A person could look right into a neighbor's house any time.
    5
  156. I was thinking the same thing.
    5
  157. Not much holiday cheer around, is there? Blame bad management on the part of GM for a lot of this. Incredible someone's rebuilding that burned out house at the beginning of the video. Other places that are fixed up are still in the middle of junk. Most roads are terrible. Depressing, to say the least.
    5
  158. Absolutely!
    5
  159. Terrible management will do it every time. It's noteworthy that much of that management was black. I understand the school board is really corrupt.
    5
  160. It's nice of him to bet hell out of his vehicle to make these videos.
    5
  161. With no effort by anyone to clean it up.
    5
  162. Bad, but nothing like Detroit.
    5
  163. It looks like 5th Avenue during the Gilded Age compared to Detroit.
    5
  164.  @shreyank6495 Decline of the auto industry in earnest in the 1980s under Roger Smith, CEO at GM. But he walked away with millions.
    5
  165. Would a white person be safe walking these streets at night? If a black man walks an all white neighborhood nobody bothers him.
    5
  166. Bad management on the part of the auto industry has to be a major contributing factor in creating this wasteland. Surely something could have been done to prevent this happening to a city.
    5
  167. Darryl: The black man keeps voting for them! I'm hoping maybe they're starting to wise up to that.
    5
  168. Maple: That's why he got a record turn out for the black vote? Where did you hear that bullshit? Get real.
    5
  169. Interesting there are still homes like this in Detroit and people who can afford to maintain them. One problem I see is some are too close to one another. Homes like the ones in the beginning of the video should have more space around them. Homes in the second part of the video were once just as nice, but a bit smaller. What a prosperous place Detroit must have been at one time before we let it all slip away.
    5
  170. Build housng for the black man and he destroys it. Look at all the trash and boarded up windows. They they complain about their living conditions.
    5
  171. Friends of mine have lived in Brooklyn their entire lives. They refuse to leave. It's been going downhill since 1957 when the Dodgers left, but many hang on. I've heard some parts are so bad you're not safe to drive through in your car. Other areas are still very nice. Mill Basin?
    5
  172. Good luck collecting that.
    5
  173. I'm sure!
    5
  174. Joe: Good name! I'll remember that! :-)
    5
  175. If it isn't covered with trash it's covered with graffiti. What a mess people make of things. I've been to Philadelphia a number of times, for business only. I have no plans to ever go back.
    5
  176. What happened to this place hat was the economic base at one time which is now obviously gone.
    5
  177. "All my Exes live in Texas. That's why I stay in Tennessee." 🙂
    5
  178. Why are there no cops around?
    5
  179. Pretty seedy but not as bad as Detroit. I think the motor city still takes the prize. This is America today? Where's Barack Obama?
    5
  180. I hate seeing stray cats in these neighborhoods. They do show up once in a while. I saw one sitting in the doorway of an abandoned building in E. Cleveland. Very sad.
    5
  181. Nice guy.
    5
  182. Obama has done nothing for the black man yet you all voted for him - twice. And then Hillary!
    4
  183. 8 years of Barak Obama and this is hat Detroit still looks like? This was 2015, right int he middle of Obama's second term.
    4
  184. Yes, Iv'e heard about Devil's Night. It's also called Mischief Night. It's ignorance and an excuse to justify vandalism, stupidity and lack of respect for other people's property. No wonder the town looks like this. It seems Devil's Night goes on 365 days a year in Detroit.
    4
  185. There must have been some prosperity in this area at one time which resulted in the construction of all these homes. What happened?
    4
  186. What was the blocked off street with all the police activity? A murder scene?
    4
  187. Yes, but when's that going to happen?
    4
  188. Overall doesn't look too bad.A fair amount of litter thrown around Occupants are the usual color.
    4
  189. Not as bad as Detroit.
    4
  190. How industry and government could allow this to happen is inexcusable. I notice so many homes renovated and lived in surrounded by derelicts what should be tear downs. And the condition of the roads! Poor drainage, potholes everywhere. No place in America should look like this.
    4
  191. And doors locked.
    4
  192. But a black man can ride through a white neighborhood and no one will bother him.
    4
  193. Detroit 2.0. Houses around those still maintained should be torn down and the land donated to those who kept up their houses an didn't leave.
    4
  194. This was 2 years ago. Have things improved any since then? I see some homes are still lived n and kept up.
    4
  195.  @meta_wav  That's not what I've seen, but OK.
    4
  196. I've always been puzzled at how close together the homes were built. Many renovated places now have a lot of open space aroudn them.
    4
  197.  @Mis_con_strued  Detroit lost its industry and most of the good jobs that kept your old neighborhood going. When the money goes, so does the environment. Bad management at GM, Ford and Chrysler is largely to blame. Unreasonable demands from Unions, too.
    4
  198. Lots of stray dogs.
    4
  199. Nr. Positive: Yes, it certainly appears that way. Of course, if they were truly on top of things, the trash wouldn't pile up in the first place.
    4
  200. That's for sure. This place never had what Detroit once did
    4
  201. What were you doing walking around that place at 2 AM?
    4
  202. I sure do hope so. I'd love to see the abandoned plants repurposed and create jobs for the residents. The problem Detroit isn't the only American city in this shape, but I think it's the worst. We have huge tasks ahead of us.
    4
  203. What on earth are the people on the radio saying? I can't understand word of it. Is there any other life form on the planet that trashes its living environment as much as humans?
    4
  204. Except at the beginning with the road all full of trash it doesn't look like a bad place. Smooth roads. Buildings seemed occupied and kept up not all boarded up and burned out. I'd hate to buy an expensive car and just park it on the street curbside, but it seems that's what a lot of people do.
    4
  205. Some people like that.
    4
  206. I keep thinking it'll get better but it only seems to get worse. Does Joe Biden ever visit here?
    4
  207. Always lots of nice cars parked on the streets. They have money for that.
    4
  208. Blacks need to start doing more for themselves instead of waiting for handouts from government or other organizations.
    4
  209. Definitely nothing like Detroit but certainly some seedy areas. No places in America should look like the hoods CharlieBo visits!
    4
  210. Do GM, Ford and Chrysler executives ever drive through these neighborhoods and see what the city has come to?
    4
  211. It's already happening in many cities across the country. Charlie Bo313 has lots of hood videos that look almost the same as Detroit: Camden, Newark, Philadelphia, Cleveland, New Orleans and more. But I have to admit, sadly, from what I can tell, Detroit is the urban decay granddaddy of them all.
    4
  212. We've got problems like this and what's all over the news? Antifa tearing down confederate statues! This country needs to get its priorities straight.
    4
  213. Trev: The song I was thinking about is more than 40 years old. In the 50s Gary was probably nice. Obviously you're not the only one who doesn't live there anymore.
    4
  214. Save the better ones and renovate them.
    4
  215. Good point.
    4
  216. Schools, too.
    4
  217. But would the people take advantage of the opportunity? That's the question.
    4
  218. Oh, dems love it. Feds send money. They spend it on themselves. Citizens get nothing.
    4
  219. The junk looks even worse with snow on it.
    4
  220.  @Mardasee  And this state's one of the most corrupt in the union.
    4
  221.  Alex mma  Blacks keep voting for democrats. You'll have nothing and like it. Stay down on the plantation. Maybe the black man will wake up some day.
    4
  222. Terry: White men built the city and provided jobs for a lot of people, blacks included. Black men have destroyed what was left after industry pulled out due to the high cost of labor and foreign competition.
    4
  223. Watch out for the open manhole covers and stray dogs.
    4
  224. No place in America should look like this or any other place Charlie Boo has documented.
    4
  225. No place in America should look like this.
    4
  226. These houses have been empty a long time. This didn't just happen yesterday.
    3
  227. I certainly hope not. I'd like to see Detroit revitalized. It takes jobs and industry to do it.
    3
  228. Regardless of economic conditions there's so many houses so big and so close together. I'm surprised they don't have more land with them, or didn't initially. I guess people in these neighborhoods like having neighbors close enough to look in their windows.
    3
  229. The new face of america. Lovely, isn't it? Why do so many of the houses have the porch posts knocked out? Do they have value? There's always a few homes still lived in and kept up among all the other carnage. Those people seem to be able to somehow hang on. A few still have a porch light on, but are obviously not lived in. This is what happens when American loses it's good jobs. Somebody made money on it, but not these folks.
    3
  230. There was a time when every one of these houses was lived in and well maintained. The vacant lots also held well kept houses. It didn't matter what race you were. It was a vibrant neighborhood of working people with money to spend. Notice the occasional house maintained and lived in as a few people are still able to hang on amidst all the carnage. As we spend trillions of tax dollars on senseless wars all over the globe, this is what's happening at home. It's not just Detroit, either. Take a look at Youngstown, OH, Irvington and Camden, NJ, Buffalo, NY and Flint, MI to name a few. You'll see much of the same thing.
    3
  231. Welcome to democratic paradise. Some people seem pretty well off with cars and motor homes.
    3
  232. Lots of room for improvement but not as bad as Detroit.
    3
  233. No one lives there anymore. A few street lights have been reactivated. There weren't any for a while.
    3
  234.  @roberttharp1134  But Indiana is a red state.
    3
  235. Where's Gretchen Whitmer? I wonder if she watches Charlie Boo's videos. What a disgrace any part of America should be like this!
    3
  236. I was wonderring where these homes came from originally. Thanks for the information.
    3
  237. There's always a few homes still lived in and kept up surrounded by all the urban decay.
    3
  238. It's a tough call, IMHO. Cleveland is really bad.
    3
  239. I saw one very nice looking Mercedes sitting curbside in a very narrow street. I can't imagine parking an expensive car in a neighborhood like this.
    3
  240. Thank you.
    3
  241. Joe Biden sure as hell wouldn't.
    3
  242. Yes, with all the traffic, 1-way streets really need to be obeyed! :-)
    3
  243. It appears quite a few street lights have been installed. The f a while there were practically none operating.
    3
  244.  @tobyjackman3212  Steel in Gary. Automobiles in Detroit.
    3
  245. This was three years ago. Has it gotten any better? Probably not. Does anyone ever notice all the steel porch posts knocked out of the abandoned houses? I presume they're stolen and turned in or scrap.
    3
  246. Troy: so, what are they? Please explain.
    3
  247.  @notmebutyou8350  He's black so probably OK. A white guy should stay out of here.
    3
  248. Hang in there. I hope for your sake better days are coming.
    3
  249.  @sarjim4381  Plenty of blacks had good jobs in Detroit, too, before the exodus of the auto industry. GM stubbornly keeps its headquarters there surrounded by so many abandoned GM factories. I have no idea why. Those still employed, I'm sure, commute to upscale neighborhoods out of town.
    3
  250. Ford Motor Company has bought the Michigan Central railroad station and is renovating it. 2500 jobs will be there when completed.
    3
  251. 200 billion spent here won't line the pockets of the industrial military complex. Government throw them a few crumbs in the form of welfare to seem as if it cares.
    3
  252. It's really spooky at night; all those abandoned houses sitting in darkness. Not enough street lights but I read many have been put back in service. There were even less not long ago.
    3
  253.  @justbarry587  I'll still take my chances with him.
    3
  254. Hats off to those who have fixed their homes or held onto them, but what kind of a neighborhood do they have full of abandoned houses and trash? It looks as if there's a lot more tearing down needed, especially abandoned commercial buildings. I don't know if the mess will ever get cleaned up entirely.
    3
  255. Not too surprising considering Mississippi is the poorest state in the nation but there are some upscale areas.
    3
  256. Detroit's worse.
    3
  257.  @josh9425  As I said, nobody's around.
    3
  258. Same place the jobs went.
    3
  259. Why do so many big cities run by democrats look like this. visit Oakland, Los Angeles and San Francisco some time. Tey make this place look good.
    3
  260.  @detroitbang5368  It seems the whole country, especially democrats, talk about nothing but race. Democrats don't give a damn about blacks or any minority other than for votes, money and power. It's too bad the black community doesn't understand that. In 2016, they even thought an old, rich white woman should be president.
    3
  261. Who wins the dog at 2:28? Is he abandoned, too?
    3
  262. Decent footage anyway.
    3
  263. Dr.SouthPole: Where do you guys get these crazy ideas?
    3
  264. Hard to believe a song was written about this town at one time. US Steel scaled back its operation and the jobs went with it. Same old story. I think this beats out E. Cleveland but Detroit remains the king of urban decay.
    3
  265. Not too long ago it was even worse at night. New street lights have been installed in the past few years.
    3
  266. Does anyone work at GM headquarters anymore? I wonder how many empty offices are in that ivory tower downtown?
    3
  267. Way to go, Nancy!
    3
  268. The litter bugs and graffiti artists have been there. Looks like no one else. What a desolate place. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live there or even visit.
    3
  269. So what happened to Gary, Indiana? I thought it was a nice place. There's even a song about Gary. Are all the open spaces where houses were torn down? Good jobs gone south, I guess.
    3
  270. Alan: Got it! Thanks! :-)
    3
  271. What part of it?
    3
  272. Wow, what a tough call. Baltimore might edge out Philly just a little but it's essentially a tie. There's no excuse for any part of the US to look like this. You Tube is full of videos from all over the country of run down, impoverished areas. It's a travesty.
    3
  273. E. Cleveland, one town that might equal Detroit for urban decay. I can't beleive all the trash thrown around. Some streets are so bad they're simply blocked off. You can't even go there.
    3
  274. Strange you hardly see anyone outside these days anywhere. I guess they're all in playing with smartphones.
    3
  275. I saw gas for $2.99/gallon, still at least 60 cents a gallon higher than under Trump, but better than $5.
    3
  276. These areas look upscale compared to Detroit. Where are all the hot babes? I thought prostitution was legal in Las Vegas? :-)
    3
  277. Yes.
    3
  278. Money went to China and Mexico. No jobs. No prosperity. The enormous auto industry built this city. Now it's gone.
    3
  279. Same BOT appears on every Charlie video.
    3
  280. People who hang out down there should tour these neighborhoods for a dose of reality then go to a bulletproof fast food restaurant. Maybe they could bring some GM executives with them.
    3
  281. It's hard to imagine what these neighborhoods looked liked back in the day when all the homes were lived in and Detroit was prosperous. It's population peaked around 1950. I wonder how people feel who have kept up their houses but are surrounded by abandoned, vandalized and burned out structures?
    3
  282. Noble: Yes, once it goes, it's almost impossible to get it back.
    3
  283. And all that rubble has to be disposed of. What a mess. Last year I read an article stating the city is trying to get people still living in the blighted areas to move so they can concentrate people more into specific areas rather than have one or two holdouts in an otherwise deserted neighborhood. I don't know how that's going. I still see kept up homes mixed in with the abandoned ones in these videos.
    3
  284. King: I had hoped things might be getting better in Detroit, but obviously not. It's a travesty.
    3
  285.  @MIMI88998899  From what I see they don't burn to the ground leaving a half burned out shell which is a terrible eye soar.
    3
  286. Got up and left.
    3
  287. $8.95 for a pack of cigarettes? That's a "Special Price?" WTF!
    3
  288. There's concern about 1-way streets and stop signs in this neighborhood? No place in America should look like this. It's despicable. But we have 100 billion for Ukraine. Keep voting for democrats, America!
    3
  289. What was all the commotion in the convenience store in the beginning of the video? I couldn't understand anything.
    3
  290. It doesn't look as bad as Detroit. I think that city still gets 1st prize for urban decay.
    3
  291. My father was based in Dayton, OH during WWII. Somehow I think it was a lot nicer place back then.
    3
  292. When Trump campaigned for president he made the comment "The country's a mess." I bet he was thinking about places like this when he said that. I wish auto manufacturers would relocate back to Detroit and breath new life into the city. Naming a street after Rosa Parks doesn't seem to make much difference. You brothers better get your acts together.
    3
  293. Not great but I still think Detroit is the granddaddy of them all. The streets are in about the same condition as the roads in NE PA. Gas is about 50 cents a gallon cheaper.
    3
  294. I don't think Detroit will ever be what it once was again.
    3
  295. Yes, and bad management on the part of GM.
    3
  296. There's always a few houses kept up as people try to hang on.
    2
  297. I didn't see anybody.
    2
  298. They're called "rolling stops." I do it all the time! :-) It's hard not to. To come to a complete halt and sit there when no one's around is almost impossible.
    2
  299. If you come to a full stop and don't see anyone, you might accelerate into them anyway. There's no end to the what ifs and maybes.
    2
  300. Does it really matter all that much driving through an abandoned neighborhood? That's what I'm talking about more so that obeying traffic regulations.
    2
  301. You make no sense at all. I wasn't trying to make a point. I don't understand why your'e so pumped up over this. Get a life.
    2
  302. Thank you for that. Ignoring him from now on will be the MO.
    2
  303. Why do people have to loot, trash and destroy their neighborhoods even if they are poor? It seems as if a few are still holding on. Not every house looked empty.
    2
  304. It's nice to know there's still some wealth in Detroit. There doesn't seem to be enough of it. I wonder what these people think of the East Side? These homes are nice and obviously some people in Detroit still have money. I would imagine they are less expensive that similar homes would be in other parts of the country.
    2
  305. Detroit stands as living testimonial to their wonderful leadership qualities. Go democrats!
    2
  306.  @briankelly85  My bet is Biden loves it. More discontent and misery. Roll out communism.
    2
  307. That's right. 100 billion to Ukraine so far and counting. No money for E. Palestine, Ohio, either. America keeps voting for these tyrants.
    2
  308. Thanks for the enlightenment.
    2
  309. Another great old industrial town that lost most of its jobs. Thank Bill Clinton for starting the trend to send our manufacturing to China. This doesn't look as bad as Detroit, but it's close. Imagine someone once wrote a song about how great Gary, Indiana is.
    2
  310. The city of brotherly love.
    2
  311. Can't recall the last time I was in Philly and I highly doubt I'm ever going back.
    2
  312. Good question.
    2
  313.  @michaelellringer5600  These days democrats aren't a particularly nice color.
    2
  314.  @jaaay4023  That's what the math says. What's your point?
    2
  315. How much work went into building that so long ago.
    2
  316. It seems to be the majority of the population in such areas.
    2
  317. I was in the city for business and pleasure much more in these days then now but would never go to Harlem. Now I won't go to NYC at all.
    2
  318.  @HarleyDavidsonVince  So who will? What did Biden or Obama do?
    2
  319. I don't think going the wrong way down a street like this matters much.
    2
  320. It needs some cleaning up but certainly isn't the worst place Charlie's shown us.
    2
  321. Too bad for those who have kept up thier houses to be surrounded by so many derelicts.
    2
  322. It looks just like Detroit! Those bad dirt roads have blue trash can along them. Does the city actually pick up trash on those roads? Do you ever get flat tires driving around in these areas?
    2
  323. Out of the scope of this video but is Southfork Ranch still extant?
    2
  324. It's odl money that's been there forever. Peopel with money always have money.
    2
  325.  @Galidorquest  Is it real?
    2
  326.  @1988tecate4rida  I never understood the 67 riots. Things were pretty good in Detroit then. Lots of black had jobs in the auto plants.
    2
  327. rootxdown: OK, then explain it to me.
    2
  328. EON: Wow, interesting story. I don't blame you.
    2
  329. mickey: It certainly does seem that way, doesn't it? Detroit was built by white men. Now blacks are tearing it apart, and have been for quite some time. But the white man abandoned the city and took away all the jobs, leaving nothing for anyone. How about Roger Smith, past president of GM?
    2
  330.  @agustindejesus7398  I'm sure it's not that simple. It's all about money and jobs.
    2
  331.  @RoseMosleyHelpingMillions  Good point except people probably think no part of Camden is nice. Regardless, having hoods like this in any American city is unconscionable. Maybe that's the point Charlie is trying to make.
    2
  332.  @RoseMosleyHelpingMillions  I would appreciate that! Detroit has nice areas, too. There's always a bit of old money still around.
    2
  333. It's out all right, for good!
    2
  334. I like the truck at 3:53. I can't afford one. How do guys in the slums do it? I noticed a lot of smart phones, too. They can afford them.
    2
  335. Doesn't look like the greatest place to live but Charlie Bo has certainly shown us a lot worse.
    2
  336. It doesn't appear any of their wealth came back to town.
    2
  337. Smacks of Detroit, o me. Always a few homes kept up while everything else go to hell.
    2
  338. That costs money, too.
    2
  339. Detroit's population peaked at over 2 million in 1950. It held its own until 1960, then started going downhill.
    2
  340. Why are plush residences built on such small lots and so close to one another so you can see into each other's windows. I wouldn't want to live in this neighborhood here even if Detroit was still booming. In the beginning of the video plenty of urban blight is still evident with GM's Headquarters clearly visible in the background. Interesting. I guess a few lucky people still have good jobs in the huge GM ivory tower.
    2
  341. I think Detroit's the winner maybe just because it's a bigger city. Hard to believe a song was once written about Gary, Indiana; part of a Broadway play, I think. The rate of vandalism in Gary seems slightly lower. There's always those who have kept up their houses sitting in the middle of it all. I wonder how they feel?
    2
  342. I'm not even sure if the roads are paved. Does it rain hard in Mexico?
    2
  343. That's a nice testimonial and you speak from experience.
    2
  344.  @rickymcdonald2669  What can be done with this mess? People made their bed, now they lie in it.
    2
  345. Judging by the looks of things, I don't think they appreciate it.
    2
  346. Kim Klacik ran for office in November 2020 on a platform of cleaning up this mess at least in the 7th district. She was kicked to the curb by voters. These people obviously don't want change. Let them continue living in squalor.
    2
  347. I saw a 54 and early 50s Chevy pickup, too.
    2
  348. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acmSExn9O9g
    2
  349. Cosmo: I've known that song since I was a kid, but otherwise never gave much thought to Gary, Indiana. I just presumed it was a nice place. I guess it used to be, like so many other towns and cities in the US.
    2
  350. Dry, barren, desolate, not very inviting at all.
    2
  351. Nice job plowing the streets. I guess Detroit relies on cars driving around to pack down the snow. Forget the sidewalks. I would suggest anyone venturing out carry a gun and shoot on sight if accosted by a criminal.
    2
  352. I wonder about that, too.
    2
  353. Don't worry. John Fetterman is goign to fix everything!
    2
  354. Imagine these hoods at night. I don't see many street lights. This east side needs some north side injected into it. I did see one home getting new siding. Somebody's doing a fix up. I'd have my house lit up with flood lights like the Omega Man at night.
    2
  355. What is this? A prostitution place or something?
    2
  356. Where's Quisi Mfume?
    2
  357. Same old story Camden was one nice place. Loses it's economic base and there goes the town. It's still much better than Detroit.
    2
  358. Where's your savior Gretchen Whitmer who you just re-elected? Shame on Detroit and the state of MI for allowing such blight to proliferate. Yet a few homes are still lived in and kept up among all the urban decay.
    2
  359. How many people in these neighborhoods are unemployed? Why aren't they out cleaning up the litter? I bet the city would be willing to help if they organized and made the effort.
    2
  360. 1 in 10, maybe.
    2
  361. That either of these places exist in America today is shameful to say the least as we send billions to Ukraine and other places ignoring our own problems. Biden's off somewhere on vacation or hosting Bruce Springsteen at the White House, which Americans also pay for.
    2
  362. Bill Clinton when he started shipping heavy industry to China.
    2
  363. Living there is worse.
    2
  364. I noticed that, too. Everyone's the same color and I don't mean white.
    2
  365. Hard left idealism.  @tyrice519 
    2
  366. Dreary weather for a dreary place.
    2
  367. Who could have imagined such a vibrant city could fall into such rack and ruin? This is what happens when jobs go to Mexico and China. Is it unreasonable to think the whole country could get like this? Every major city has areas large areas of urban blight similar to Detroit.
    2
  368. Lazy people could at least get off their asses ad clean the place up. How many are unemployed with plenty of time on their hands?
    2
  369. The open space is where homes have been demolished, but so many are left to be done. It takes money and establishment of ownership before the town can tough them.
    2
  370. It's a shame in a nation as wealthy as the United States that some people have to live this way but not everyone has the education or skills to make a better life for themselves. Despite that, Shithead Biden wants to let poor, uneducated people pour into the country by the hundreds f thousands, maybe millions. This place doesn't look as bad as Detroit. I see some expensive cars parked around. They have money for that.

  371.  @tamzbrd55  I looked at his stuff and it's not the same person, but thanks for the reply.
    2
  372.  @kmfsinny8436  Thanks.
    2
  373. I see gas was $2.45/gallon back then. Thanks, Biden, for screwing that up.
    2
  374. I think D is the grand daddy of all urban decay.
    2
  375. Inexcusable so much poverty exists in the world's wealthiest nation yet these people keep voting for democrats who do nothing for them.
    2
  376. Nothing but corruption and mismanagement. Kim Klacik ran a brilliant campaign to try and clean this place up 2 years ago. She was kicked to the curb and Kweisi Mfume re-elected who came in on he heels of highly corrupt Elijah Cummings who did nothing for 20 years but steal money. You get what you vote for, guys.
    2
  377. All the trash thrown all over the place. I can't believe it. Philadelphia, I call it the butt hole of PA. Seems to be no difference in Baltimore.
    2
  378. You can't help but wonder about the history of these buildings and how used to live there.
    2
  379. If that's so then who looted, vandalized and set them on fire?
    2
  380.  @ricosway7727  Then I guess you're doing just fine. Good news!
    2
  381.  @georgegilmore7708  No street lights, either.
    2
  382. none of your damn business: Yeah, I kind of figured that. I remember that movie Roger & Me. It's old now, but is still relevant.
    2
  383. I noticed that immediately. Maybe they think he's still president.
    2
  384. That's why Trudeau is called upo0n to resign? Good government?
    2
  385. I see videos many years old about abandoned Detroit and wonder if things have gotten any better. I guess not.
    2
  386. What's he huge building off in the distance at 7:13.
    2
  387. As always, a number of expensive cars parked curb side. They have money for that.
    2
  388. No place in America should look like this. I dont' know if the mess will ever be cleaned up. All the shuttered businesses which once provided jobs.
    2
  389. Very nice of CharlieBo313 to drive his car around and buy the gas to make these videos.
    2
  390. I like the trash all over the place while the 2-legged trash stands around doing nothing. Way to go, Lori Lightfoot! You have a real nice place here! So far, after all the CharlieBo313 videos I've watch, I think Detroit is the Grand Daddy of them all. Haven't see anything worse than that.
    2
  391. Bullet-proof fast food restaurants. I've never seen anything like that before. Nice going, Detroit! This is what it's come to out there? I see a lot of urban decay that still needs to be cleaned up but there's new construction across the street from Taco Bell! That's a good thing.
    2
  392. Makes Kensington Ave. in Philly almost look good.
    2
  393. Is there any building that isn't abandoned? This is totally unacceptable that a nation a wealthy as the United States shod have this kind of blight in its cities as we pump billions into foreign aid.
    2
  394. Despite all the trash and squalor these people live in there's always nice, expensive cars parked curbside. Philadelphia seems to be the worst. Joe Biden doesnt give a damn about any of these people yet they continue to vote for democrats.
    2
  395. It was -11 in NE PA Tuesday night.
    2
  396. @ Poconos.
    2
  397. Are there any nice areas of Camden? Detroit has a revitalized downtown section and some wealthy neighborhoods with beautiful homes. Old money I presume. I see quite a few of the streets have been repaved. It's not all bad.
    2
  398. Keep voting for democrats.
    2
  399. I hope they're happy about what they did to Detroit. I don't know if the city can ever be brought back. Right now it doesn't seem to be making much progress.
    2
  400. Hard to believe this is America.
    2
  401. Probably flooding.
    2
  402. Interesting place to visit but i certainly wouldn't want to live there. I feel sorry for hat guy polishing his SUV then it started raining.
    2
  403. That many?
    2
  404.  Jigsaw 2045  There is something to e aid for that except I hope your not broken into in the middle o the night in a house with no street lights.
    2
  405. Is the guy at :52 getting ready to dump more trash on the pile at the bottom of the hill?
    2
  406. So many commercial buildings that housed businesses and job. School once full of kids. What a mess we've made of things.
    2
  407. Good one!
    2
  408. I noticed that, too.
    2
  409.  @tiograb  I would favor simply returning it back to nature. A lot of neighborhoods have gone that way.
    2
  410. Why do people have to destroy things by arson?
    2
  411.  @betsybaye4951  Judging by the lack of people and abandoned buildings, most seem to agree with you! 🙂
    2
  412. It can be much more depressing. Look at some of Charlie's other videos.
    2
  413. Must be an abandoned store. This place was probably a lot busier at one time.
    2
  414. How will this mess ever get cleaned up? We have billions to send overseas to third world countries os they can build wind mills, but no money for this? Where's Joe Biden and Gretchen Whitmer on issues such as this?
    2
  415. So did Buick City.
    2
  416.  @micnorton9487  Agreed on that. I was thinking the same thing. None of the executives who ran the businesses into the ground are living in poverty.
    2
  417.  @micnorton9487  What do 3 read circles mean?
    2
  418. Charlie Boo really beats up his car doing these videos. I wouldn't dive my car down the road he was on in the beginning. I wondered if the those two guys were going to move the mattress for him. Thanks, guys!i
    2
  419. Louisiana is so corrupt the feds don't even want to send money because it all evaporates and nothing goes where it should. Local and state government are to blame for much of this. This is one reason Katrina was such a problem.
    2
  420.  @DIVISIONINCISION  I think the will power to get out is key.
    2
  421. No auto industry.No jobs. No town. Buick city, GM's oldest and largest facility. They spent millions to renovate it, then abandoned it and tore it down. How many jobs lost?
    2
  422. saw a 64 Chevy Impala parked curbside in one scene. Wish I could have had a better look at that.
    2
  423. 1950 was Detroit's peak year for population. It wasn't too bad through 1960, then really declined.
    2
  424. It's mind boggling to think think was all a vibrant, well kept neighborhood at one time all the result of a huge auto industry. Among all the carnage, a few homes are still keep up and lived in with people trying to hang on. It's terrible the mess humanity makes of things: Trash, arson and senseless vandalism everywhere.
    2
  425. Agreed.
    2
  426. Nannette L.Whaley, mayor of Dayton OH, wants to run for governor. Democrat. This is her track record?
    2
  427. I wondered about that, too. How do they do it?
    2
  428. But I don't think you'd want to live there.
    2
  429. It's a tragedy all the huge factories lying there abandoned and vandalized. Thank Bill Clinton for starting the move to send America's manufacturing to China. Rest assured he doesn't live in a place like this. Hard to believe a song was written about this town as part of a broadway play. Didn't the Jackson 5 come from here?
    2
  430. Perhaps stop throwing your trash all over the place and clean up the mess that exists in so many of the neighborhoods. You could be on your way to becoming a better citizen.
    2
  431. You can't blame anyone for no wanting to end up on the impoverished potion of society.
    2
  432. Tis looks like an upscale neighborhood compared to Detroit. Nice of people to throw their trash all around, I guess trash begets more tash.
    2
  433. Prosperous families that could afford them thanks to industry now shipped to China and Mexico.
    2
  434. I think it's a little better than that. But I wouldn't want to live there.
    2
  435. Frankai: I'm sure some are on but I saw quite a few neighborhoods that didn't have them at all.
    2
  436. One of CharlieBo's better neighborhoods.
    2
  437. How does this happen in the world's wealthiest nation with the biggest economy? I see an occasional house still lived in. Amazing there's a few people hanging on in the middle of so much carnage. Why do people have to loot, vandalize, burn everything and throw their trash all around?
    1
  438. 175,000 low paying, part time jobs no one could never live on. That's what they are. We're supposed to get excited over that?
    1
  439. It looks a lot better than Detroit. I can't imagine parking my car on any of those streets and leaving it there all night. I wouldn't have had the nerve to stop in at that convenience store!
    1
  440. Why is one of the most violent neighborhoods in the nation populated with mostly blacks? I'd hate to have to park my car on the street in this place.
    1
  441.  @Monnarchmonnarchy  You could still clean up the trash except the 2-legged kind.
    1
  442. That sounds good to me. there are way too many stop signs around. I hate 3- and 4-way stop signs!
    1
  443. This neighborhood doesn't look great but it's not as bad as parts of Detroit. Was that a drug deal going down on the narrow side street in the beginning of the video? It sure looked like it.
    1
  444. This area doesn't look quite as bad as some parts of Detroit I've seen. I see white people, too. What will ever become of this place? this is america? Hard to believe.
    1
  445. It looks as if Sherwood Forest is the place to be, not the east side.
    1
  446. Does the CEO of General Motors ever tour these neighborhoods? Or ho about Obama? Now that he's no longer president maybe he could devote more energy to helping cities like this. He sure didn't do anything while he was in office.
    1
  447. There's certainly enough open space to build them. I hope people can find jobs and afford to buy them.
    1
  448. This video was obviously shot in winter or early Spring before anything was growing.
    1
  449. It looks pretty suburban. I would love to see Detroit revitalized, but they need jobs and industry.
    1
  450. What always puzzles me is why all the vandalism? Can't people just leave the places alone then maybe they can be used again someday? I've never understood the senseless destruction of property. There's always a few that are still lived in and kept up. The houses are so close together if one catches fire, the one next to it gets scorched even if it was a good house. I wonder why they were built so close together? A lot of them seem to have had the support beams knocked out so the porch roof falls down. What the hell's the point of that? Detroit may be the worst, but there's plenty of other American cities that are about as bad. I'm glad we elected our first black president. What do the progressives have to say about this mess?
    1
  451. How does this happen in the worlds wealthiest nation with the biggest economy? You guys voted for Donald Trump. I hope he can do something about this kind of urban blight. It won't be easy and it won't happen overnight.
    1
  452. In this neighborhood I could live in Detroit!
    1
  453. Why am I not surprised?
    1
  454. Are you kidding? You'll never see her in a town like this. But "Housewives Love Kamala." Too bad she doesn't love them back.
    1
  455. Reminds me of that ld Fats Domino song "Waling To New Orleans."
    1
  456.  @RR-bb2lk  What a shame.
    1
  457. Some with no license plates.
    1
  458. Doing what?
    1
  459. No Jobs + No Money = Urban Decay. Unbelievable this is America.
    1
  460. Nice roads. I can't believe all the litter! Just cleaning that up would make a huge difference! Why is everyone black? Isn't that racist?
    1
  461. Is this a homeless encampment or a landfill?
    1
  462. No comment.
    1
  463. Some progress has been made but a lot of urban prairie seems to have been the solution with quite a few derelict structures still standing same as almost 10 years ago. Detroit's been in decline for a long time.
    1
  464. No place in the USA should look like this. here's the Biden Administration who's so concerned about equity?" They're giving hundreds of billions to Ukraine. And these peopel will vote for him.
    1
  465. They raise children in this environment?
    1
  466. Who's that?
    1
  467. They look like nice places. If they suit the needs of the owners, why not? Detroit needs all the re-gentrification it can bet.
    1
  468. You see a lot of that in these videos.
    1
  469. It's hard to believe there are still this many darelect homes in Detroit. Why haven't they been torn down? These houses didn't get like this overnight. They've been that way for a long time. How many people are unemployed in Detroit? How about they get together and clean up their neighborhoods? They don't have anything else to do. In the beginning of the video were those For Sale signs in the front yards? Who would buy them?
    1
  470. I'm glad government can spend taxpayer money on a huge apartment complex then just abandon it.
    1
  471. Ukraine gets 100 billion of our dollars and counting. Detroit gets nothing. But somehow they did manage to scrape up the money for some new street lights a few years ago.
    1
  472. It doesn't seem as if any of his wealth came back to here.
    1
  473. Who's the guy in the beginning stumbling around and waving his arms at people? Is he drunk or just an A-hole? I notice a lady with her kids seem to be heading his way. I think I would have hung around to see how that played out.
    1
  474. It went into politicians pockets. Wanna bet?
    1
  475. It is inexcusable that this should exist anywhere in the United States. Yet we are still the world's wealthiest nation with the biggest economy, but for how long?
    1
  476. Is there anything other than crime on the radio?
    1
  477. White guy arguing with a black guy. Tumultuous race relations. Just what the democrats want.
    1
  478. Not much different than Detroit. Both car cities and the cars left. Buick City was GM's largest and largest location. It produced millions of cars and employed thousands. Nothing left now but a vacant lot and a devastated city.
    1
  479. All white people and perfectly kept houses. That's what it looked like. Wanna bet?
    1
  480. Does Detroit plow its streets or rely on cars driving around to pack down the snow? This is America? Pathetic! Where are the politicians trying to do something about this? I think I saw kitty footprints in the snow down one of the alleys! :-) Every so often a house appears that still has the lights on as some try to hang in there.
    1
  481. My fav is at 0.19! :-) 0.38 is nice, too. Hard to decide!
    1
  482. Not great, but I've seen worse. A fair amount of expensive vehicles in the driveways. They have money for that.
    1
  483. No place in the US should look like this.
    1
  484. Good point.
    1
  485. There's always money for that. But aren't the owners worried parking them on the street?
    1
  486. Some people hang on against all odds.
    1
  487. People with money always have money.These guys either aren't tied into the auto industry, sold short, or dodged the Detroit bullet somehow. The East side used to look a lot like this at one time. What happened? Jobs went to Mexico and China. The execs who made that happen still live here on the North side.
    1
  488. Compared to Detroit it doesn't look too bad. Is most of this below sea level? if so, you're asking for trouble. There's an old saying that's a basic truth: Build on high ground. Why is everyone black? We know GWB did nothing. But what did Obama do for these people? Don't feel so bad. I live in PA and a lot of our roads look just like the one in 7:00 of this video!
    1
  489. I can't imagine parking my car in a neighborhood like this and hope it's not vandalized or stolen by the next day. There's even a 60 Oldsmobile at 5:53.
    1
  490.  @deliveryguyrx  It look to be in pretty bad shape, but it has survived. It's a 2-door HT, too.
    1
  491. @ I saw a lot of cars and truck that looked very nice and expensive. I sure as hell wouldn't want to park anything I own on the street there.

  495. Not quite.
    1
  496.  Robin John  I think we know. It starts with a W.
    1
  497. No businesses, no jobs, no money. This is what you get. Low class, ignorant people don't help, either. For some reason most of them are black. Black people didn't build these neighborhoods. White people did. Where did they all go?
    1
  498. Cop didn't seem to notice or care. Not exactly a high traffic area.
    1
  499. If you want to make steel today I guess you have to move to China.

  500.  @BrandonBell-r8l  ?
    1
  501.  @MIMI88998899  But so much of it DOES look like that and it's disgraceful!
    1
  502. There's still a lot of work to do in Detroit. I wonder if it will ever get cleaned up and revitalized?
    1
  503. Republican Kim Klacik ran for the 7th district of Baltimore in 2020 in an effort to clean up that part of the city but was kicked to the curb in favor of incumbent democrat Kweisi Mfume who replaced 23 year veteran democrat, and corrupt to the core, Elijah Cummings. Even when help and change is offered, they don't want it.
    1
  504. Probably no better.
    1
  505. I can only imagine.  @dazinqwilly3385 
    1
  506.  @nutsbolts7974  Is what we have no better? No jobs at all?
    1
  507. Definitely less trash than in American city slums.
    1
  508. Same as YanalFanio: BOT!
    1
  509. This guy Charlie Boo sure gets around. Was this one of the areas flooded when Katrina hit years ago? As is often the case in run down neighborhoods, I see a lot of expensive cars. Nice roads, too. It must have just rained judging by the puddles, or at lest I hope so.
    1
  510. Of the few people you do see, none are white but it was the white man that built it.
    1
  511. Looks like the same old story. Companies leave, Jobs go. Money goes. This place doesn't look too bad, though. Wasn't Gates Rubber and Good Year once headquartered here? Some o the roads are in terrible shape.
    1
  512. Don't count on Biden's "Build Back Better" to do anything for Detroit.
    1
  513.  @kennyavila3300  I remember the high rise housing projects in Newark that failed and were eventually torn down. It's another example of government wasting taxpayer money.
    1
  514.  @warrentoles3127  Lack of education and a job is stopping you!
    1
  515. Another democratically controlled state and city.
    1
  516. Welcome to democrat paradise. Even the TV and movie making industry is shut down. Having fun, liberals?
    1
  517. Please speak English.
    1
  518. I thought things were getting a little bit better in Detroit, but I guess not except for some parts of the downtown area.
    1
  519. @Scott B Nixon eliminated the gold standard because nations all over the world were using American dollars to buy our gold reserves at such a high rate it would have eventually been depleted. That's my understanding of it. I can't recall where I read it but it should be easy enough to research.
    1
  520. Terrible way for them to have to live.
    1
  521. One-way and stop signs, do they really matter in this neighborhood?
    1
  522. 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.
    1
  523. Democrats love to throw money at these problems with no accountability thinking they're doing a good thing. Other people's money, that is.
    1
  524.  @thuglife-po5ys  1but there is no community.Just piles of junk, urban prairie and houses in deplorable condition right next to ones that have been repaired. How far do you have to rive just to get to a grocery store?
    1
  525. Think how prosperous it had to have been for people to build homes like that at one time.
    1
  526. Definitely!
    1
  527. It would be nice if auto manufacturers would come back to this country, locate in Detroit and revitalize the city with a product it was always noted for. Donald Trump says he's bringing back industry to the United States. Detroit sure could use some.
    1
  528. That we have so many run down neighborhoods in this country that You Tubers can make channels out of documenting them is a total disgrace in a nation as wealthy as the USA with the world's biggest economy.
    1
  529. I see a lot of stops are changed to yield.
    1
  530.  @haydensteder7348  I noticed that.
    1
  531.  @josh9425  Light traffic volume.
    1
  532.  @josh9425  Nobody's around!
    1
  533. Disgusting how people just throw their trash all over.
    1
  534. Bansky: Why does that make me dumb?
    1
  535. No need to b concerned about those neighborhoods. It's these place that need public awareness.
    1
  536. Are people wearing masks because of the pandemic or because they live in filth and squalor?
    1
  537. Yes, but I'm talking the back of the car.
    1
  538. Agreed.
    1
  539. I wonder how much shoplifting the Crown Supermarket experiences? Can you imagine trying to run a business in this environment?
    1
  540. Instead they sold us out to the Chinese. And they're still doing it!
    1
  541. How can so much go so wrong? Row after row of abandoned, burned out homes with an occasional well kept one right in the middle of it all. Big factories and store fronts: All empty. Unbelievable.
    1
  542. One thing I can tell you is everyone was white. Strange, huh?
    1
  543. They have torn down a lot of them. That's why the wide open spaces, but with so many to go it's an almost impossible task.Costs money, too.
    1
  544. As idiots in DC push the Green New Deal all this litter and pollution sits right under our noses. I thought Detroit was getting better, but this looks as bad as 5 years ago. I've been watching Charlie Boo's videos, and others, for a long time.
    1
  545.  @124marsh  Dems have run Detroit for decades as well as all other cities in the USA that have urban decay and high crime. Maybe it's just a coincidence...
    1
  546.  @detroitbang5368  He's black, so I suspect he's probably safe. If white guy were doing this he'd certainly not survive.
    1
  547.  @detroitbang5368  We all know how widespread black-on-black crime is. I'm sure you could be a victim in Detroit. Doesn't this video contain a segment on some 9 year old girl in some kind of trouble involving police? I didn't quite catch what was going on there.
    1
  548. NJ's Detroit but not as bad.

  549.  DLX Infinite  Poetic justice?

  552.  @curtg7396  Great statistics.
    1
  553.  @dtropolopicus3602  As if they accomplished anything. Propel in Detroit had good jobs back then. Stupidity. Violence never solves anything. How do they like the place now?
    1
  554.  @autobug2  I guess fans can worship at the altar there.
    1
  555. I wonder if anyone who used to live here is still around and comes back to see what the neighborhood has become?
    1
  556. Occasionally there's a home still maintained, lived in and lit up. What must those peopel think surrounded by all the other carnage?
    1
  557. All jobs gone.
    1
  558.  @210yaytowncraetown6  Too much effort to clean it up, I guess.
    1
  559. Truth: I have no idea what you're talking about.

  561. 85% of the city will vote blue again in November.

  563. @Dacia Sandero guys Charlie Bo did a video n a bad neighborhood in Indianapolis and interviewed a girl who lived there her whole life and is still there. Some people don't want to leave these places.

  564. Chicago's south side: Once a beehive and manufacturing activity, now all gone. Same old story. Businesses close, jobs are lost, no money, and the neighborhood deteriorates although it's not nearly as bad as Detroit. Brandon Johnson had billions for illegal migrants.
    1
  565. Not great but Detroit certainly has it beat. This never was a well-to-do area unlike Detroit that was so prosperous at one time and went into unbelievable decline.
    1
  566. E. Cleveland's a real good one!
    1
  567. This is typical of so many old Pennsylvania industrial towns built on a once thriving economy that's long since gone. The state's dotted with places like this. Some of our main roads aren't much better than the streets shown here!
    1
  568.  @carlbowles1808  Isn't that nice? What a way to live.
    1
  569. I was thinking the same thing. E. Cleveland's so bad some roads are blocked off so you can't drive past the places.
    1
  570.  @987plo  Yes!
    1
  571. What's that at 9:31? The stairway to heaven?
    1
  572. It's been said humans are the only life form on the planet that trashes their living space.
    1
  573. Some on the East Side of Detroit seem to be doing that.
    1
  574. I notice that, too. How do they afford them? Some don't have license plates.
    1
  575. It appears that most of the human race thinks the world is their trash can.
    1
  576. Bogota used to be a neat place.
    1
  577. Apparently many other do too and they love throwing their trash aroudn as well.
    1
  578. You noticed that, too, huh? And another section ready for work that surely won't happen.
    1
  579. Certainly not as bad as E. Cleveland or Detroit. I like the guy in the beginning holding a mattress. Was he getting ready to throw it out along the road and make it someone else's problem?
    1
  580. At least Trump won the state.
    1
  581. Not Detroit?
    1
  582. Flint is a national tragedy.
    1
  583. No improvements in Detroit, I see. Waht the hell is goign to become of these people? Where's Gretchen Whitmer?
    1
  584.  @da6footbandit  That might be him.
    1
  585.  @assmannewzealand  Yes, that's the one. Detroit Street Watchers. I don't know why he gave up on that or at lest didn't leave his content available. I'll search for him and see what I can find. Thanks for the reply.
    1
  586.  @assmannewzealand  You're right. Detroit Street Watchers was the guy. I did find a channel that features the best of his videos.
    1
  587. This a disgrace! The advent of third worldism. No areas of he USA should look like this. Our society is in decline. I had a feeling Detroit would be #1.
    1
  588. What is that all about, anyway? Some kind of amusement people have throwing their shoes up into the power lines?
    1
  589. Humans are the only life form on the planet that trashes their own environment.
    1
  590. It doesn't look as bad as Detroit. I see a lot of vacant lots. I guess some structures have been torn down. Poor black guy being arrested by mean old white police. Certainly he couldn't have done anything wrong! :-) No street lights in some areas. That must be scary at night. Interesting. I'll stay where I am in the Northeast. Thank you.
    1
  591. Government still enjoys steak and lobster and you pay for it.
    1
  592. Where's Gretchen Whitmer on all of this?
    1
  593. Definitely.
    1
  594. Obviously much work still to be done and it costs money.
    1
  595.  @RW_TractorPilot  Whatever!
    1
  596. Lots of trash lying around. People sue know how to make a mess of things. Lots on of nice trucks in this hood. I wish I had one.
    1
  597. Well, Obama didn't do a damn thing.
    1
  598. No jobs. No money. No skilled people to fill what jobs are available. This is what you get.
    1
  599.  @internetcensure5849  Equivalent to being bombed out.
    1
  600. Yes, I always notice that, too. Some people fight to hang on.
    1
  601. Hard to believe this is America. All these homes wee once lived in and well maintained. People had good jobs, mostly as a result of the auto industry. The industry's failure to take on the unions moe aggressively didnt help. You can't pay people for not working and stay in business.
    1
  602. Exactly! The party of love, compassion and acceptance.
    1
  603. Denise: That's a shame, but not surprising given the general state of manufacturing in the USA. I do hope at least some of it comes back.
    1
  604. Why are the residents of these hoods always so noisy?
    1
  605. At least the roads are pretty good. What the hell happened to that apartment complex in the beginning of this video? The whole damn thing abandoned, vandalized and burned out? Who paid for that? Taxpayers, I assume. More money wasted.
    1
  606. I thought Detroit was the worst for trash strewn all around but it looks as if Philly is right up there with them.
    1
  607. Kim Klacik tried 2 years ago and lost the election.
    1
  608. Where's Kweisi Mfume?
    1
  609. Yes,burn your neighborhood down and only create more problems for yourself plus many innocent people who did not participate in the violence. How often have we seen it? Never made any sense to me.
    1
  610. I'd bet a lot of these people are law abiding and happy living as they do.
    1
  611. No more than people in Detroit.
    1
  612.  @78vette11  I assume the steel industry was the driving force in this area until it went to China.
    1
  613. There's always money for a nice car but no garage for it.
    1
  614.  @justabitofjunkie  You still have to make the monthly payment. Either way a lot of money is involved.
    1
  615. All because manufacturing went to China. Bill Clinton kicked off that trend.
    1
  616. Damn! East side. West side. What's the difference?
    1
  617. It's nice of Charlie Bo to beat hell out of his car as he drives around on horrible roads documenting America's urban decay. These scenes don't look as bad as a video I saw yesterday, but it's bad, for sure.
    1
  618.  @SNOOP113XX  I thought prostitution was legal in Nevada. When did it change?
    1
  619. It's nothing like E. St. Louis! Plenty of activity. I love how people make parking spaces in NYC: Double park and put on your 4-ways.
    1
  620. Is Charlie Boo getting political? Democrat-run cities by far are the most impoverished and loaded with urban decay.
    1
  621. This is what the nation's capitol look like? What a disgrace. Where's Biden on this one?
    1
  622.  @tgordon8136  How did he help to fuel the Buffalo massacre? He isn't makin exhibits of people. He's focused on the run down buildings.
    1
  623.  @tgordon8136  The guy had a proven illness of mental problems.
    1
  624. Looks like a nice place to live and who's made it that way? what kind of jerk plays catch with his dog ion the street?
    1
  625. This is really bad.Who'd have thought Little Ricard came from here decades ago. I wonder what it was like in his time?
    1
  626.  @sherryjewell4277  People have no respect for other's property no matter who owns it.
    1
  627. There are some very nice, expensive and exclusive areas of Detroit still. Old money, I assume. But even those areas have an abandoned home here and there.
    1
  628. Hell no!
    1
  629. I love the cars with no license plates. How do they do that?
    1
  630. Some parts of Detroit still have the big old houses well kept and lived in. I think it's in a minority.
    1
  631. Some people who live here admit the city is struggling but theyr'e trying to give it a comeback. Don't know how that will work. When industry leaves, there go the jobs and money. It's always about money.
    1
  632.  @sarcrazy530  It won't work as well as industry and good paying jobs.
    1
  633. It seems that way.
    1
  634. It's this bad despite the steel mill that still operates although not at anywhere near the capacity it used to. I guess the wacko environmentalists think this is preferable to heavy industry and the prosperity it bright to cities all across America.
    1
  635. ice of peopel to dump their trash on other's property. Even the church is vandalized and ransacked. People have no respect for others at all.
    1
  636.  @chrisd4432  You're probably right.
    1
  637. Why is everyone black with seemingly nothing to do? I have to admit, it doesn't seem nearly as bad as Detroit.
    1
  638. What's Santa Monica have to do with Minneap[olis? Where's the mayor?
    1
  639.  @matthewalderink126  It certainly has the same disease as Detroit.
    1
  640. Why are these hoods always all black? If they do make it out they move to a nice white neighborhood and never come back to try to make a difference.
    1
  641. It appears to be a tad better than Detroit, but nothing exciting. No need to visit Pontiac any time soon.
    1
  642. Baltimore & Philly are worse. Kensington Ave.?
    1
  643. There's always a few well kept houses surrounded by all the devastation. We spend trillions around the world as we neglect out own and you pay for it. Cities all over America have blighted areas like this. Inexcusable.
    1
  644. Why is this so sad but still so interesting? 12,000 views as of this writing.
    1
  645. All the money the US Governmet pisses away on who-knows-what but hey can't clean up their own city.
    1
  646. Then there's all the tax funded "projects" also boarded up. Roll the calendar back to 1956 when Buick City was cranking out a car a minute off the assembly lines and see what this neighborhood looked like then. Now they're made in China. Buick City's torn down and just a huge,empty, fenced in space
    1
  647. Detroit sure does a nice job of plowing its roads and clearing sidewalks.
    1
  648. There's a girl on You Tube with a channel. She's lived her entire life in a neighborhood similar to this in Indianapolis, born and raised there.
    1
  649.  @gloriabebop5313  I still see endless deterioration of neighborhoods and businesses as well as infrastructure. So tell me how far Detroit has come.
    1
  650.  @gloriabebop5313  Please show me. I dont' see it.
    1
  651. Why do I see cars with no license late? How do they get away with that?
    1
  652. This didn't' just happen yesterday. The deterioration has been going on for decades.
    1
  653. Do you think they might take some pride in the fact they live in the nation's capitol and clean up the neighborhood?
    1
  654. I doubt you'd find her, or one like her, there now.
    1
  655. Where's Elijah Cummings? He's too busy trying to unseat the president to worry about this.
    1
  656. I thought New Orleans was supposed to be such a nice place? What's going on with these guys? Prostitution and drug dealing?
    1
  657.  @TJ-qm2qx  Nice people to have added to our country.
    1
  658. It's inexcusable any part of any American city should look like his. Doesn't Detroit pick up its trash or plow its streets? I thought things were picking up a bit in Detroit. Apparently not.
    1
  659. They don't care about wasting money, either.
    1
  660. I can't believe they fell into such disrepair.
    1
  661. Why would anyone even go here other than a curiosity seeker who's willing to take the chance. Maybe this place has become some kind of sick tourist attraction.
    1
  662. I thought the Clinton Foundation was supposed to take care of Haiti? Yeah, right.
    1
  663. Agreed.
    1
  664. Snow finally melts exposing all the trash put there by the 2-legged trash that vandalizes and pillages these neighborhoods. Don't forget the white collar trash that sent the jobs to Mexico and China while pocketing plenty of money for themselves and destroying Detroit in the process. They continue to thrive elsewhere.
    1
  665. Seems as if this girl has some potential and could make something of herself if she got the hell out of there, got some more education, and put the hood behind her. Hope somebody helps her. Where's BLM and all their mney?
    1
  666. Probably no other explanation for it sitting there.
    1
  667. Startling the difference between Sherwood Forest and the East Side of Detroit. There were lots of nice houses at one time in the East Side, but those people couldn't hang on while Sherwood Frst seems untouched by the ravages that overtook Detroit. I have to assume Sherwood is old money.People lik that always have money.
    1
  668. Corruption at its finest. Governor Shapiro was in a munitions plant in Scranton last week autographing bomb shells for Ukraine as we have people living like this.
    1
  669. It's been said the human race is the only life form on the planet that trashes its own living space. I think that's correct. If there was a way to clean all this up and put in new housing they'd probably trash that, too, in no time.
    1
  670.  @Lott0Jay  It's really a shame.
    1
  671. I believe E. Cleveland is considered a close second to this or maybe Gary, IN.
    1
  672. My bet would be the republican mayors of these cities are probably RINOs. Interesting how the "affordable public housing" always seems to be trashed and boarded up. Even when you try to help people it doesn't work. One factor remains: The bulk of the population as seen in this video is black. That's where the crime is coming from.
    1
  673. I always see cars in these hoods with no license plates on them. How does that work?
    1
  674.  @DGTelevsionNetwork  I'm sure it was!
    1
  675. He wouldn't' survive if he was white. But a black man can drive through a white neighborhood and no one will bother him.

  676. Peter: Yeah, right. It's all Trump's fault or someone else's. Never yours.
    1
  677. Good! I'm glad you're not here!
    1
  678. No money.
    1
  679. It's been said the human race is the only life form on the planet that trashes its own living space. Seems to be a truth to me.
    1
  680. Some of those alleys so littered with trash. I don't understand it. Humans are the only life form on the planet that trash their own living space.
    1
  681. Some businesses have moved into downtown and renovated quite a few buildings including the old Michigan Central train station. There's a little bit of good news, but a lot of work is still needed. These neighborhoods must be scary at night with no street lights.
    1
  682. I don't' see any homeless encampments. That's an improvement. Still, not a place I'd cre to visit then or now.
