It’s almost like we dropped bombs on ourselves.

to imagine that people used to live in those houses once. kids were playing around them, families having barbecues in the back yard, the future was bright. i guess no one ever thought that it would all end up like a war zone..

I was raised in Detroit, its always been a rough city. But it didn't look anything like this growing up, this is so sad to see, im glad my mother moved me down south when I was in HS.

We rebuilt Germany, Japan and the rest of Europe but we can' rebuild our cities.

Damn. I feel so sorry for the kids who have to grow up in these environments. It just reminds me to be greatful for all the things I have, knowing that not all kids are lucky.

Not even the homeless squatters seek refuge in that God forsaken place.

I've never been to Detroit..... and I was just imagining the once beautiful, safe, sprawling neighborhoods and homes....that once -upon-a-time stood on those decaying, crumbling, crime ridden, and just sad to look at homes. When the video started and he drove past those kids playing....my heart just felt so sad for them living in those horrible conditions. I pray all those kids living in Detroit graduate from high school....and get into a wonderful university or college as far away from Detroit.....and never look back.

What a damn shame! I grew up on Detroit's east side from the 1950's through the 1970's. Very familiar with all these areas. Detroit was a great city at that time. I'm heartbroken for what it has become.

I've seen this street on Fallout 4

All your jobs that were once American - shipped to China, Mexico, Indonesia, India.. et al. Voting for political parties that did NOT put America first is why we have this video.

Back in the early 1950s Detroit was a terrific place to live. I spent 6 weeks with my parents there during a time when work was hard for my father to find in MA. So, he found work there. Detroit was building all new schools, etc. Homes were really kept up, and people were proud to live there.

I work up there and from what I hear, the taxes are ridiculous. I'm assuming even if you wanted to fix one up it'd be nearly impossible to afford to live there. It's a shame we can give billions to other countries for the exact same thing that's happening in our own. I cant understand the litter and trash everywhere. Some of the piles I've drove by look like they've been there for months or longer.

imagine this neighborhood in the 50s...

Even the sun don't wanna look at Detroit

I lived on a street like this on Alter Rd, age birth to 3 years old. I always thank God and my dad for getting us out of there in 1967 after the big riot.

Believe me there are many of us that remember and have photos of these cities being beautiful once. This is what happens when there are NO Jobs. They sold us all out decades ago.

All of those big nice homes gone to waste.

Finding some copper in one of these homes would be like finding a balloon in a needle factory

The tree aspect. When these places were in their prime, the trees were kept. Great documentary. Each abandoned house was once a family story. There's a double garage at one point, right on the street now overgrown with vines. In its day though, whoever owned it definitely had some fun with that.
