The Karate Kid with Jaden Smith was filmed 🎥 in Detroit. So was The Ides of March and White Boy Rick.

Have YOU NOTHING BETTER to do or her than come on this site and Spew your hateful thoughts about this city ... There are areas like you speak of But there are also areas ( NEIGHBORHOODS ) that are the complete opposite of what you are saying and Plenty of people that love living in this city other than Downtown and CHOOSE TO BE RIGHT were they are

@@brucebeamon5460 ​ @Bruce Beamon Hey this isnt hate , I'm from Detroit. What I'm saying is that this look at Detroit is from a one sided angle . They are only showing the area that people of means can live in.

Gdurant Please get your facts straight. Detroit emerged from bankruptcy over a year ago and actually had a surplus in fiscal 2018. So based on your statement how do you deduce that the positive change is only temporary? My guess is that you have never been to Detroit and have no idea what is happening downtown. I am a lifelong resident, retired manager at GM and a Brush Park resident. Over 8000 housing units are being built in the 48 square mile city core. Four new office towers are under construction. Mahindra, Lear Seating, Bosch/USA, Chemical Bank, LDA International, Ally Bank, Microsoft, and SAP have all built world or regional headquarters. Ford Motor is rebuilding the long abandoned Michigan Central Station and Book Depository Complex and creating a massive research campus. Bosch is renovating the closed Southwest Hospital. Retail is slowly returning and six new hotels are either open or being built. That’s some impressive lipstick. So. Once again I ask. How do you arrive at your judgement and have you ever been to Detroit? My guess is that you will not respond to this post.

Thomas Barrish Thanks Thomas. It’s an uphill battle for both of our cities but worth the fight!

Gdurant Sunday and early

Gdurant they don’t hold that title anymore. Crime went down substantially. It is LA, Chicago, Houston, SF, Cleveland and a few others

And the only time you came to a full stop at a stop sign, was when the car in front of you actually obeyed traffic law.

You just made a whole paragraph of a comment and completely ignored the one made by the poster saying that it was filmed sunday... a year ago. It's much livelier and exciting now, I work and live in downtown and it's pretty energetic every day of the week. There are a lot of companies and stores popping up and slowly bringing people back. It's going to be a long process with lots of work, but the downtown area is showing a lot of promise as to what it could be in the future

koolkar55 holiday

No one drives into Manhattan, everyone takes the train or subway. Much cheaper.

Downtown where I live is safe. The downtown area is expanding rapidly but there are some really dangerous areas that are best to avoid. Ironically I was just in Nashville on business when some guy tried to strong arm us for cash. He didn't succeed. My advice is come visit us. Great vibe. Music, emerging food scene, fantastic museums, (art, greenfield village/henry ford in nearby Dearborn, Motown Museum to name a few.) Detroit is like any city. Be aware of your surroundings and watch your purse/wallet.

Yes

What a freaking joke. Detroit is a poop hole because demon rad leftist destroyed it and you going to try to gloss over a grave with a little white paint? Give it a break stop wasting our money scumbag leftist morons.

Gdurant I am not a scumbag leftist moron. I am a card carrying Republican and a decorated wounded USMC veteran. It is unfortunate that you are unable to interact with other posters as an adult or without resorting to childish name calling. It is clear that you have no idea what is happening in Detroit. Do we have problems? Absolutely. A lot of work is left to be done. But most of the progress is due to private investment not government funding. After seeing your other posts you are either a young person spewing drivel or a bitter old man. No matter what I very much doubt that you have any real idea what is happening on the ground here in Detroit.

+Nonamearisto my goal was to put something on youtube. It is what it is.

That isn't in Sumption. First off people do not stick around and the business in court area's after work hours. There's no reason to. The restaurants are usually indoors or on the rooftop so you wouldn't see people. New York in LA are two of the largest cities in the US, with millions of people. Detroit no longer has millions of people. Detroit has just under 700,000 people.

Nonamearisto. Thanks for the positive feedback. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. You are concluding that the efforts to bring back the city is a failure based on one video that was probably taken on a Sunday? I live in the city near downtown. In the last ten years over 25000 jobs have been brought back into city core. Ford just announced that they are renovating the old rail station and bringing an additional 2500 into Detroit. We are not Los Angeles or Chicago or New York. Today we are 75% smaller. None the less during the week the streets are busy with workers. On weekends, especially in the summer, there are lots of activities. There is an emerging food scene, casinos, concerts and tons of bars. We still have big problems. Schools, drugs, crime and decay but people are pulling together to fix it. Rich, poor and everyone in the middle. 20 years ago it was a ghost town all the time except for us natives. I am amazed by what is going on. Construction, renovations, repurposing. Too many projects to list. Too those of us who refused to leave and are actively involved in the comeback there is a deep pride in what is happening. To those folks from the outside we say come visit us and see the changes for yourself or to a troll like you we say please stay away. We dont need or want you around.

Plenty of videos reveal LA's deserted downtown streets, for example. Nonamearisto knows neither how to show off nor how to grumble. Deserted downtown streets is an American phenomenon, and this here video certainly shows Détroit as bucking that country's undying trend.

Nonamearisto it was a holiday

There are no substance abusers overdosing in public downtown. You're more likely to find that in the suburbs of Detroit.

California is the :pfft: l a u g h a b l y dopey place you must be dreaming of, you fucking crétin you.. .. . .

If you are looking for drug attics tent cities crowed streets of homeless people dedicating out in the open with needles everywhere check out the documentary’s on the streets of DOWNTOWN L.A the cities mayor doesn’t even bother to try keeping it out of view and this is RIGHT OUTSIDE the doors of high rise condos an apartments

Is it safe to walk around the D? Fellow Aussie.

the news is take it from someone from Detroit, you have nothing to worry about, if you plan on coming here, you’ll be fine, but bring a coat it gets cold here

If you like panhandlers, beggars and homeless, then this is the place for you.

THANKS FOR seeing the Beauty that Detroit STILL has to offer those not willing to write it off ...MAY YOUR FAMILY have as PLEASANT of an experience of living here as Me and My Family have for GENERATIONS ( WORTS AND ALL )

hum take a look at downtown LA with its tent cities FULL OF HOMELESS PEOPLE RIGHT OUT SIDE EXPENSIVE APARTMENT BUILDINGS maybe SOME PEOPLE PERFER THOSE CROWDS of people , as opposed to how Detroit streets are looking in this video

Tracks are for trolleys that are from the old days rarely used now. The over head 'beam' you see is the monorail system People Mover. Detroit doesn't have as many busses[or taxis] that other downtowns have because everyone has a car and comes from the suburbs. Plenty of parking around from all the empty abandoned lots. If it wasn't so depressed there, Detroit is really nice for getting around and doing business. Nighttime is abit different though when the scary comes out to prowl.

The trolley system is not fully abandoned. There is a new state of the art light rail system on the main street that goes from downtown to the new center area north of the city core. The lack of a unified transit system is a huge impediment to future growth and must be addressed.

They are in use

Barre Douglas I live there and it is nice

Robert Gardea shut up

Has only gotten nicer

I don't recall seeing that in Europe so while I am sure they exist I don't know how common they are. The only shopping streets I can recall in America that do not allow cars are the Main Streets in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

Where in Europe did you visit?

Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Brno, Olomouc, Lvov, Krakow, Warsaw, Gdansk, Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava. Mostly Eastern Europe.
