That cul-de-sac you were on is being improved. I'm working on that green one you were standing in front of. I had to clear the yard. The others were bought by investors who have been doing the same. It was a lot worse last year. The houses are mostly solid structures. They may need to be gutted to the frame and redone with new windows and siding, but they are salvageable.

The building you refer to as "the projects" is the former Hotel Gary. When my sister was in high school in the late 60s, it was the height of luxury. Her prom was there. By the time I graduated from high school in 1974, it had been converted to senior public housing. The scenes at Gilroy Field almost made me cry. Gary was truly the city of the century. It was created AND destroyed in the 20th century. It's a microcosm of a way of life that's long gone. My dad dropped out of Lew Wallace High School to go fight in WWII. He came back and went to work in the mill. He made a good enough living that we could afford two cars, a summer cottage in Michigan and he paid my way through college, all without my mom needing to earn an income. Sure wish that could be the case now.

Just keep working bc many people are depending on your tax dollars to help them. All the migrants, Ukraine, etc. need Americans money and that will continue. That's why nobody wants to work bc after taxes and with prices as high as they are it's better to not work and go on welfare. A person on welfare in Mass. makes $24.00 an hour and gets subsidized housing and free health care. It pays to NOT work.

I grew up in Gary. So did my husband. Our Dads worked in the steel mills and the city was thriving. The decline started when the mills closed and jobs dried up. The money went away and businesses closed. Most of our friends moved away after graduating, ahead of the decline, because options were limited. It is sad…but I have wonderful memories of Gary and still have many relatives living there.

That's bullshit.. Ever heard of TVA/ Tennessee Valley Authority, they're owned by the United States federal government, created by President Roosevelt in 1933 to the save the southeastern part of the U.S. from flooding. Without the 49 dams that were built for flood control, and to supply electricity to a large parts of the Southeastern U.S., this part of the country would still be nearly uninhabitable because of the flooding. And, they are just one of the many types of federal agencies that go unnoticed today because most people never lived before they existed, and know little about what life was like before. But, my parents, who were born in 1910, and are long gone, along with 100's of black and white photographs, personal stories from them, and my grandmother, who was born in the late 1860's, about life in upper East TN before the 1940's along with the many stories about what life was like as they grew up in upper East TN before 1940, helped inform me about our history in the Tennessee Valley that I've always called home. History shows some undeniable proof that our federal government intervened in a very positive way. But, that's been all but forgotten by more people than not in today's world. Informed people call it history. It is knowable, and it's not that hard to become informed before speaking.

We give hard earned money to the Ukraine, there’s a horrible housing crisis, groceries are unaffordable, they’re accepting wayyy too many immigrants, etc. The cities here are turning into mini “India”. Including my city. I have no issues with helping people, but we need to help ourselves first and foremost and we arent. It’s honestly so disheartening to see the Canada I once loved become a place I wish I didn’t live in. I know there are worse places to live, but it’s hard to survive. More than 60% of my wage goes to rent alone. I have to watch every single penny. It’s awful. It shouldn’t be this hard to survive.

In 2014 I „visited“ Gary, Indiana by accident. I was on a road trip with my wife and daughter. We are from Germany and we never heard about Gary. We had some issues with our rental car. So I searched on Google where the next Hertz station was and so we came to Gary. Needless to say that there was no Hertz it was already closed. We were all frightened and shocked.

This is what happened: 1. A lot of military contracts ended. That killed off a large portion of the steel industry. 2. Complacency in the American auto industry: when the first gas crisis hit, the feds were also enacting new safety and emission standards. Meanwhile Japanese automakers began importing cars by the shipload - they got better fuel economy, and were cheaper to buy. This took American automakers by surprise and some didn't think the import invasion would take hold, but it did. That caused the shutdown of assembly lines, and many supporting businesses. 3. Another hit on the steel industry, was companies buying more and more steel from overseas. 4. NAFTA: a LOT of manufacturing went to Mexico. 5. China being awarded with "favorite nation trading" status. Most of the manufacturing centers around the U.S. were hit hard, but Gary still surprises me. It almost looks like that city got hit with an air-burst nuke. It is kinda sad that lady blames republicans for the situation there, seeing how Gary has had democrat mayors for the last 77 years.

Robert Triffin, an economist from Belgium who worked for the Fed and other institutions in the US, told Congress in 1960 that if the US wanted to have the world's reserve currency it would have to import more than it exported. This would lead to huge changes that would impact labor. The governments and banks like the arrangement...and here we are 64 years later. We are on the verge of losing the dollar. Hopefully we can turn things around after that happens but there is lots of pain to come before we do.

I lived in Gary Indiana by choice and owned a home on 41st and Grant for 25 years. Gary isn’t totally hopeless. Nick you found Miller Beach. There is also West Glen Park, 35th and Broadway by IUN. Calumet Township is unincorporated Gary, nice homes and friendly people. Grant Street and 35th street is as close to a thriving business district as Gary gets. The Village Shopping Center inside is a ghost town but up and down Grant Street plenty of businesses are doing good. And also up and down Ridge road. Eventually Gary will get better. I still own a lot off of 41st and Grant Street and it’s still nice there. Gary will get better when families realize they can’t afford $150 K plus homes anymore. You can still buy beautiful houses in good parts of Gary between $10K and 60K just know they will be fixer uppers and invest in an alarm system. And if you have children you will be sending them to some place other than public school. Don’t give up on Gary Indiana. ♥️

I was homeless for 4 years and it was totally my own fault. I made a lot of bad decisions and paid for it. I finally got my act together and accepted responsibility for myself and through hard work and the help of good people I got off the streets. I learned some hard lessons on the streets and believe me when I say, you do not want to become homeless. When the bottom falls out of this country these big dilapidated cities are going to burn. The streets are a dangerous place full of violent people. They don't show what really goes on out there. Believe it or not some people actually want to live on the streets. When the sh*t hits the fan, get out of town as fast as you can. I thank God I live in the country now and I don't miss the city at all.

they give section 8 to the wrong black people. many of our women get pregnant by a rando with nothing just to say they are pregnant and alone so they can get emergency priority on section 8. so many do it now that's all that get them. yall need to change rules to exclude them. section 8 should go to those trying to do something with themselves.

Our Malls are being destroyed. It is so sad. i am 66 and was born and raised in Calif, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles.. I am watching and see a no return. It is sad. In San Francisco, people living on the streets live in cars like Merceds, BMW, ect. The homeless in LOS ANGELES is in every little city. It used to be only DOWNTOWN LA.. NOW it is everywhere..
