An amazing video Tour Of Detroit's Ghetto
|
yea_ you can find the same thing in Flint- Saginaw -Lansing
if i said anything else i would be considered a racist |
a bit rough to watch from all the shaking and jumping around and generally poor editing.
Its funny tho, I watched that thinking, ya know, I bet you could pick up quit a number of continuous acres there and bulldoze it once and let nature finish taking over for a nice little plot. |
then watch the inhabitants come back looking for their checks and demanding their free houses...sorry, katrina still stuck in my head....
long time experience with fixing up places inner city type. my dad and I fixed up apartment buildings for a rich uncle. you get it painted and nice windows and such- they get broken by the 'neighbors' to put it politely or have some big scary person of color waiting for you 'give me this house, it's nice' as he stands up with a steel pipe...shame if it burned down.... but, for you fronty- I'd sell ya the land for cheap LOL |
I think I seen more boats then I did cars... weird.
How would you even start to correct a situation like that? |

That looks like a rough place to be. I would not want to be there after dark. All those boats sitting around looks like times were good at some point. There were actually some nice looking houses if they were fixed up. Read about some of the social problems and how much government money was spent in a 9 square mile area (something like 400 million) and everything is now burnt out because it was just given to people who did not care.
Looks like something out of a mad max movie... |
I guess we are supposed to feel sorry for a segment of the population that chooses to live this way and then complains when others don't come and clean it up.
|
Wow, what a mess. I had the same thought...get a dozer and haul the garbage off and you have a clean slate to work with but like justwannabeme said someone will take it or destroy it. My neighbor from Chicago was telling me the same thing a few weeks ago. I was complaining about some of the neighbors we have here in Phoenix and he said "you have no idea how much worse they can be". Then he told me a few stories but I wont repeat em because like Old Dog said, dont want to sound racist.

Wow! A squadron of giant bulldozers and a fleet of fuel tankers to fuel them wouldn't be able to make much of a difference.. There seems to be no end to it...
I would say burn it, but it looks like 4 out of 5 are already torched. Maybe USAF needs a new bombing range.. If its still standing, it's a target... |

A helping hand is good. Handouts have never worked. "God helps those who help themselves."
