  1. This was what most oc Cleveland looked like when I was a kid. The houses aren't very big, most around 1000 sq feet, but a decent place to raise a family. Everyone had a job so they were able to keep the houses in repair, send the kids to school, and maybe take a summer vacation. It's the kind of neighborhood that factory workers aspired to. Now it's part of an ever shrinking area with crippling property taxes, horrific schools, now snow plowing, street lights only at street intersections. and the residents paying for their own lawn lights in an attempt to keep the criminals away from the houses at night. God forbid they leave the house for more than a couple hours to go do needed shopping.

  5. Okay, poopie, you name the place, as long as it's somewhere in da hood. You know, somewhere where a white boy will look real out of place. Make sure you bring nothing but $10 bills. Just walk around the neighborhood waving the cash and yelling "Which one of mah niggas gots da weed?". You have to sound like a real whigga when you do it or mah niggas won't sell to you. Make sure you drive mom's Beemer too. We just like looking at Beemers. I promise not one of mah niggas will have a gat and try to rob you or anything.

  6. Poopie, I never said you're a cop. By your writing abilities and general use of the English language, I'll guess you aren't old enough to be a cop, and it's doubtful you could pass the academy entrance exam. Still, I told you the few simple steps you need to do to score a plug from mah homies. Any Saturday night in the hood around midnight would be a good time.

  7.  @shellylarue9661  No one is safe when you put down your skittles and start pounding a man's head into the sidewalk. It happened at night, BTW, not during the day. There was a whole trial about it and the Hispanic guy was found innocent of murder. You must have missed it.

  8. Use Google street view and just drive the neighborhood. You'll know soon enough.

  9. Shows you don't hangout on the east side at night much. Probably a wise idea.

  10.  @kim_fd8938  Did you graduate from high school? Learn anything about spelling or punctuation?

  11.  @kim_fd8938  So you didn't have a white teacher? Too bad, you might have learned to write a couple of intelligible sentences...or even a few words.

  12.  @kim_fd8938  Let me help you with what I think you meant to write - "Oh, I'm sorry, let me clarify. All my teachers were white, but they were from the backwoods". My teachers were also white, and many were from the so-called backwoods. I still learned how to write coherently and use punctuation.

  16. I live in a hick town in Alabama. Except for some fireworks and the sound of one semiautomatic rifle that fired off maybe five rounds, it was totally quiet here on New Year's Eve. I always like how people use Alabama as some sort of excuse why cities like Detroit really aren't so bad. I grew up in Cleveland, and yes, they are a hell of a lot worse. And, Karama, people in Detroit aren't allowed to shoot a firearm in city limits except in self-defense. It's also against the law to rob gas stations, sell heroin, or murder someone. Understand the problem now?

  17. Baddie, Charlie was there in May. Are you saying there has been a near miraculous improvement in Gary streets in two months?

  18. I escaped from the Bay Area in 2005. It was clear then the direction things were going, but the high cost of housing and living just couldn't be sustained. The Eastmont area of Oakland, anchored by Eastmont Mall, was still a decent place in 2005. Eastmont Mall is now a center for people to get WIC, Social Security, sign up various welfare agencies, get an abortion from Planned Parenthood, and check out the largest police station ever located in a mall. Yeah, real nice place.

  19. Most of them have so many DUIs that they'll be going to prison for a long time if they get popped again. Instead, they sell the Crown Vic or Caprice, sell the 26ers, and put the money into lowrider bikes, led lighting, and giant battery packs to run the stereo and all the lights..

  21. What's the deal with the places that have the LED light's around the windows? We just had a gas station in town add them. From the issue at that place, they seem to be a code for "We got more than gas here, nigga".

  22. Flashing LED lights pointing outside a window helps a security camera get better pictures? Those must be different cameras than I've ever worked with.

  23. Jay, I'm 72 years old. I rode the Hounds down to Mississippi in 1964 as part of the Freedom Riders. I slept on dirt church floors, got the crap beat out of me, and was shot at twice while working on voter registration drives. Don't pontificate to me about the right wing. We're talking about the reality of black kids who are getting a worse education in Detroit in 2018 than the kids I saw in Mississippi in 1964. At least most of them could read and write. Charter schools have been a tremendous success in the inner cities. Kids who couldn't read or write when they entered them graduated high school. They don't need as many charter schools in the suburbs because parents have the money to send their kids to private schools if the public schools don't do their jobs. Parents in the suburbs are much more frequently from two parent households that go the PTA meetings and raise a stink if the schools is underperforming or there are bad teachers. Do you think a Detroit parent does this and, even if she does, who will listen to her or do anything about her complaint? In 2010, The Detroit School Board President was a functional illiterate who spent his time during meetings with female colleagues fondling himself under his desk. You think all this is some kind of right wing issue? Charter schools depend on children attending voluntarily. I don't need to to research public education to know that. The concept of accountability in public education terrifies inner city schools and teachers because they are failing so miserably. I'm sorry you're such a supporter of unionized public education, but it just doesn't work in Detroit.

  24.  @Brave_New_Trump_World  It makes NYC more expensive, but it's much better overall. NYC has nearly full employment. the numbers of people reflect the relative prosperity, and the city is not in danger of bankruptcy. On a per capita basis, NYC doesn't even come close to the levels of violence and hostility seen in Detroit. If you really don't like NYC, you can always leave. I suspect you have a reasonably good paying job so you're reluctant to leave, just like all the other people you see occupying those sidewalks. Some money just costs too much.

  25.  @seanmack7903  On every floor? That seems difficult to believe looking at the windows and the clearance between each floor.

  26.  @seanmack7903  It sounds like you know a lot more about residential construction that I do so I'll defer to your judgement. Still, almost every two and three family home I've been in has the tallest ceilings on the first floor and decreasing clearance as you went up. These were homes generally owned by the first floor occupant, so the first floor was a little nicer than the other floors. I don't know if those were also owner occupied.

  28. It is risky but a lot of the business are owned by recent immigrants like Pakistanis, Sikhs, and Koreans. They can provide employment for the whole family, thereby making it easier to get relatives over here. Many of them are on more or less permanent welfare once they do arrive, and living seven or eight to a two bedroom apartment over the store makes it relatively cheap to live, The store provides cash they can pocket and increase their income without paying taxes.

  35.  thesix107  You could find the answer to your question in five minutes on Google. Mean household income in 2014 (the latest we have figures for) was $72,641. Median household income in 2016 (the latest we have figures for) is $61,372. The mean is higher since it takes into account the unequal distribution of income in the country. Median is the point where half the households fall above or below the exact midpoint of household income. So median is lower than mean (which it statistically has to be), but I wouldn't describe it as "wwaaayyy lower".

  36.  thesix107  The census use household income because that's how the census collects the numbers. They don't go out and find single individuals wandering the streets and ask them about their income. That data is collected by the Department of Labor from worker surveys. Household income better reflects the state of poverty since, for example. a teenager working a part time job while still living at home artificially deflated income numbers. How much a household is eating has proven to be the best indicator of real income in the country. Why would my income have any bearing on what statistics show? As you correctly stated, average income per person is going to higher because people who earn high salaries pull that number up. The difference between median household and individual average income is still relatively small when you consider the effects on the average by those relatively small numbers of of very high earners.

  43. I'm lucky to live in a historic district surrounded by smaller but decent homes. We don't even eve a hood, jsut a few streets with some shitty houses. The city will be in tearing things down if they get too bad because they know the effect of letting things deteriorate, no matter how nice some of the houses are. I was having a "discussion" with a back racist on a video of how Highland Park, Michigan looks. It's called the Detroit of Detroit since it's surrounded by Detroit. It's a really horrible place, and most horrible for those who are stuck living there because they can't sell their homes and move elsewhere because they'll have no credit if they just walk away from their homes that still have a mortgage. It was his thesis that, because there are still a few nice neighborhoods like Boston-Edison that happen to be a couple of miles for Highland Park, he should have done a video on them because he was just making all us dummies that live in trailers and shanties happy y showing a burned out city. If the title was "Nice Neighborhoods in Detroit" and then he only showed Highland Park, the racist would have had a point. Instead, he thought the best way to fix Highland Park was to make sure no one knew what it looked like because we were obviously racists ourselves, and it wasn't the fault of anyone who lived in Highland Park that it looked the way it did.. These African apologists never cease to amaze me.

  47.  @ericsean6693  I've never heard of a public street called a private street. A driveway is a private street. That tells me you don't know much about streets. The actual amount of money being spent this year on repaving is $58 million. It's all coming from bond funds. Amazon, Google, and Dan Gilbert have nothing to do with it. The project plan, which is available at the Detroit DPW site, calls for the repaving of 58 miles of residential streets in 2018. They don't show how complete that is.on the plan. Detroit has about 1900 miles of residential streets. In my understanding of math, 58/1900 is 3% of all residential streets, not your clearly ridiculous figure of repaving 60% of them. There's also no half billion fund of mysterious street paving money that I can find. If you say it's true, provide a link. Even if that fund really existed, it wouldn't be anywhere near close to enough. Based on what's already been estimated, it would cost at least $1.3 billion to repave 90% of the residential streets, and that's assuming no cost overruns, something extremely unlikely in Detroit. I won't even get into your made up figure of the number of houses demolished. Detroit can't even plow residential streets. Their own snow clearance plan is that the city won't even attempt to plow a residential street unless at least six inches of snow has fallen. Less than six inches and you're on your own. They don't even have to start until the snow has "substantially stopped falling", a neat set of weasel words. Even if they get to your street, the contractors (who do all the residential plowing) are only required to plow a 10 foot wide strip down the middle of the street, not actually plow the street as a non-Detroiter would think of a plowed street. Good luck getting out of your driveway after a foot of snow and trying to reach that 10 foot strip. Maybe you're just a big Detroit booster that thinks repeating "Dan Gilbert" like some kind of mantra that will convince people Detroit is really on the rise. Maybe you're just a Detroit troll that pulls numbers out of your ass and sees if anyone bites. Whichever it is, stop it. This is the internet. It's too easy to check so-called facts. Lying about Detroit doesn't help Detroit.
