Detriot is where the term “Burn Baby Burn” started, at the time the plan was to let “us” (meaning socialists and angry blacks) have a city of their “own”.
I’ve seen Google Earth maps of Detriot and it is astonishing, whole city blocks look like a WW2 battle rolled through them.

That is absolutely true. I’m not originally from Mich. I now work for a utility in Mich and working out of Detroit one day decided to avoide traffic by diverting through 8 Mile road. I was literally scared for my life. Later told a co-worker and he exclaimed “You did what?!”.
Burned out and boarded up buildings outnumber the iron bar windowed business about 10 to 1. I and my company truck were the center of attention from every avenue and corner I passed through.
yes i agree. i live here in southwest detroit. ive been here 9 years. i got my house from my aunt when she died. i use to live on one of the best neighborhoods here! but now it is THE HOOD . i seen my neighbors all move away. and are replaced with drug dealers, squaters, hookers and streets of vacant homes. they steal everything from these homes , and then we have to keep our kids away from them. they wont tear them down. stray dogs and cats and rats are living in these homes. i want to stay here in detroit but something needs to be done. i cant change the whole city but i try to keep the peace here on my street. i wish more people would do the same.
