  1.  @daquanmcdonald7104  Just another reeason not to live in Detroit.

  2. No, it gets you Detroit. It has some of the highest property and income taxes in the state. People with money don't just give it up voluntarily. They move to places run by more efficient and less corrupt governments. There were plenty of rich people in Detroit at one time. They left because of socialists like you.

  3. Too bad. Picked Detroit as the city to end it all.

  4. Why does Detroit bother with streetlights in blocks where there's no occupants? Detroit is already one of the literally darkest large American cities after dark. Take those streetlights and put them on streets that still ave residents. One of the reasons people leave is they are afraid to go out at night, and night lasts a long time in winter.

  5. He's wearing a type of body cam. He doesn't stroll into a ghetto convenience store holding up his iPhone 7 and telling people to smile for the camera. That, and his friend he brings along on every ride, are why he's still alive. I swear, some people just don't have much understanding about the hood.

  7. I'm 71. I left Cleveland in 1967 to move to California. Best decision of my life. I still have relatives in Cleveland.

  8.  @Wëpälkatar  I suspect I've been on this earth a lot longer than you have. I have no problem seeing past the end of my nose. The end of your nose is a different issue.

  9. From the NWS tornado database. Note I said fatal, not the number of tornadoes. And of course how dangerous depends on where "u" (Phew. Saved two keystrokes there) live. Even Detroit, rated as the 2017 city that was the most dangerous in the country, has nice neighborhoods

  10.  WORDto BIGbird  I was pointing out the reasons and results of Shaw being what it is today. How about this. Find me a town that's 94% white anywhere outside Appalachia that's as poor as Shaw. It's an unfortunate reality that towns or sections of towns that are overwhelmingly black are, with few exceptions, poor, not well educated, and have a majority of births to unmarried mothers. The fact that you would rather not have it be true doesn't change the fact it is.

  11.  boogy313rd  You don't know much about radio frequency energy, do you? Do they use different vibrational frequency signals that send signals right across the line into the Pointes that tell the men there to graduate from high school and get jobs while also vibrating the women not to have five kids and no husband?

  12.  boogy313rd  I don't have to. I understand how cell phones and radio frequency energy works. You don't, and neither do the people at the Atlanta Black Star or whatever problack sites you get this bullshit from. Anything other than accept responsibility for your actions, I supposes.

  13.  @silversword4428  Well, I knew someone like you would show up. You call squatting in burned out houses or ones with no paint, no electricity and infested with rats and other vermin "affordable housing"? I'm certain there are subsidized rents for some the poor people still there. The working poor can get by with that safety net. People who are disabled for some reason and can't work also have social programs to house them. When it comes to those who refuse to work, rob, steal, deal drugs, mug people, do home invasions, and make responsible people feel so afraid they leave then, yeah, they can become homeless. Maybe some time on the street will help reorient their way of thinking to become less predatory.

  15. Are all the three story houses three family units? I don't think I've seen that before. The structures are really too big for the lots. Gives those narrow streets a really hulking and not very attractive look.

  19.  @matthewwitter4680  Florida is 170,300 square kilometers. How much of the area did you see? What's your definition of "a lot of ghetto"? You're not speaking the truth, you're coming to a false conclusion after seeing a tiny part of Florida. 112 million tourists came to Florida in 2016. Do you think they all came to the "a lot of ghetto" there? I see you edited your original comment again in hopes you wouldn't appear as ignorant as you really are. You come from an English speaking country. You are either 12 years old and haven't learned to write proper English yet or you are simply ignorant. There's nowhere in Jamaica like that lot of ghetto.like Florida? Kingston is just a really nice place, almost like black Disneyland, is it? Jamaica has gone from one of the safest countries in the world at independence in 1962 and took less than 40 years to become one of the most dangerous. There's no ghetto in Spanish Town? There's no album called "The Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto" by Kartel? No book by the same name? Bob Marley didn't grow up in Trench Town, a place so dangerous that even the cops don't want to go there? Tivoli Gardens is a place tourists like to visit because it's so pleasant?. I've been to Jamaica many times. Just like Florida, it has beautiful places and it has ghettos. I sure wouldn't come back from there after a lousy vacation and pretend I know the whole country is shithole when I didn't know my ass from my elbow about the place.

  21.  @fridge6668  So you're telling me you spent four years in a university and came out with English skills so poor you can't fill out a McDonald's application? If so, you are afflicted with a disorder something like autism or you have an agenda to promote.

  22. WTF are you talking about? Meridian had 49,000 people in 1960. It's now down to 39,000. The city is 62% black. Look up how many cities of this size that are more than 50% black that are still growing. There is no chance for Meridian to grow without an influx of middle class whites or black, and that's not going to happen. The city is always in the top 5 for Mississippi's most dangerous cities. Drugs and gangs are already taking over Meridian. If you don't mind that, Meridian has some of the cheapest housing in the country. I'm going to assume you were on some kind of mind altering substance when you wrote that.

  23. You know things are bad when this happens - "East Cleveland police officer working off-duty security carjacked in police car" https://privateofficernews.org/east-cleveland-police-officer-working-off-duty-security-carjacked-in-police-car/

  24. At least the hood isn't quite so dark and threatening looking since they've put up the LED streetlights. I see a couple guys are getting a free ride to choir practice. The Michigan State Police ave to be the last agency in America to still only have that big red gumball light in the center of the roof. They are now LED lights that are much brighter than old sealed beam lamps, and they can six different flashing patterns to help make them more visible. Still, I wouldn't like to have a patrol car with just that one light. The MSP has really stuck with a traditional look for their cars.

  25.  @ericsean6693  What's a "private street"? Looks pretty apparent the repaving program missed most of the streets Charlie goes down.

  29. +Fourth Hokage - Downtown Detroit is about three square miles. That leaves about 135 square miles that's not downtown. You got some tours that show how nice those are?

  30. If Detroit wants to be nothing but downtown and maybe 50,000 people living in a few neighborhoods they are spending money in exactly the right way. Detroit may become the first city that only exists for people to go into but not live.
    2
  31. They are. The city has demolished thousands of structures. Last I read, they had about 18,000 to go. Each house costs between $8,000 and $10,000 to demolish. Before you ask, when you have a housing stock built for 2 million people and only 700,000 people are left, renovating a nearly destroyed house in a nearly destroyed neighbor will not encourage people to move back.
    2
  32. It does cost more to demolish than any property is worth. However, if the abandoned and valueless structures aren't demolished there's no chance for that property to ever have some value. Detroit is getting state and federal money to help demolish these abandoned structures.

  33. Well, at least spring has finally arrived.

  34. No, I left California 12 years ago because it is headed in the same direction as Cleveland. I now live in a much smaller state and life is a lot better. Everytime I go back to Cleveland for a visit I'm sad. Downtown and a small ring around the center is the only part of the city that doesn't look like it was hit by a nuclear bomb.

  35. Prices for homes in Palmer Woods go for about $400,000 to $1.5 million. The lower priced homes are foreclosures and generally need work. Ten years ago, some of the current $500k to $600k homes in good shape were going for $1.5 to $2 million. Nice neighborhood to take a chance if you think Detroit is coming back.
    2
  36. It's kind of a trademark of Palmer Woods streets. I think Josh is right. There aren't any curbs, and the rocks are to keep people off the curb lawns.

  37. You may also notice that Sherwood Forest has a lot of what most Detroit neighborhoods have very little of - streetlights. Those decorative lighting standards are paid for by the residents, as is the electricity to run them. If it was like the other neighborhoods Charlie typically drives through, there's one streetlight at midblock and then no others unless it's an exceptionally long block or you come to an intersection. Streetlights not only cut down on crime, they contribute to the social cohesion of a neighborhood. Unfortunately, Detroit is broke, so even paying for the few streetlights they have is a burden, even after replacing most of them with LED lights that are much cheaper to run.
    2
  38. No, you don't need to. Woodward and Seven Mile have some decent sections, and Palmer Woods and Sherwood Forest aren't far from the freeway, so you don't have to drive though the real hoods.

  39.  @Wëpälkatar  I'm going to assume you're not a native English speaker. It's all that could explain such a word salad that made no sense.

  40. At this rate it won't be long until half of Detroit is back to dirt roads and forests. Was the white girl at the gas station hookin'? She sure was staring your down, Charlie.

  41. Dang! The power was still on at that first building? I'm amazed the scrapers hadn't gotten all the wiring and electrical panels yet.
    2
  42. First time I've sen one of your videos without crowds of "yutes" having around on the streets. At least there should be less driveby shootings. I guess they do still have to come out an find you why the cops and ambulance are down the block though. I guess street retailing is one of the "essential" businesses.
    2
  43.  @likedayummm9303  And who exactly would pay to demolish all that "shit"and build those better houses? Who would have the money to buy all those new houses?
    2
  44. There are almost no apartment buildings in East Cleveland that have survived intact and occupied. It's terrible.

  45. Reminds me a lot of some places in the Caribbean. Some nice fixed up houses amid rubble.

  46.  boogy313rd  I see. So you're hypnotized into drinking T-bird, downing those 40 ouncers, and spending the money you don't have playing the lotto?

  47. Compared to a drive out Kercheval once you leave downtown all the way out to Grosse Pointe, the DC hoods look positively prosperous. They also seem to have plenty of cops, something Detroit sorely lacks.

  48.  @alcindorbennett1971  There's a lot of crime happening in Detroit, but I rarely see that many police officers in one place there.

  49. Well, damn, I guess you never hear of Erin Brockovich. She won $333 million in court against PG%E for causing cancer in kids. You see, you can sue companies that cause harm and win a shitload of money for the victims. You're not going to get much out of suing thugs that shoot and kill kids. As to your comment about the police, it doesn't make much sense. I wasn't comparing the police to a criminal. I was comparing the reaction of certain members of the black community to a criminal being shot by the police while they were committing a felony. You have heard of Michael "The Gentle Giant" Brown and Ferguson, Missouri, right? I don't know what your anger management issues are, but the whole world isn't against you.

  50. Charlie obviously knows the people who have the chickens. He didn't just "go on other people's property". I swear, Charlie's videos attract some of the dumbest shits I've ver seen.
