How Detroit Went From Good to Bad to Good Again

Did you know that when Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013, it was the largest city bankruptcy filing by debt ever, estimated at a massive $18 to $20 billion? Or that in the 1950s Detroit was the richest city in the U.S and maybe even the world according to some people?
Based on this, it probably won’t surprise you to learn that Detroit has faced a lot of challenges over the years, from the collapse of its automotive industry during the 2008 financial crisis to the city’s own bankruptcy filings in 2013. However, despite these negative events, Detroit wasn’t always a place of hardships and in fact, during its early years, Detroit was one of America’s most promising cities. What might be even more surprising is that recent events even suggest that things might be looking up for the city today.
But what’s the cause of all of the ups and downs Detroit has faced over the years? Well, today on Across the Globe we’re going to be looking at How Detroit Went From Good to Bad to Good Again.

Detroit's embrace of urbanism is also contributing massively to its revival. They're tearing down one of their downtown highways and turning the land back into the mixed-use residential area that it once was. This is a trend that will more than likely continue as Detroit sees the benefits of what they destroyed back in the 50's.

In fact, towns like Detroit and Cleveland have the "blank canvas" to create a new vision of 21st Century urbanism that could match what the Dutch has done in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. Let's tear down many of the decrepit, unusable buildings and replace them with new buildings and offices inspired by classical and Art Deco architecture.

I’m from Southern France, and I’ve stayed in Detroit for a few weeks while I was travelling the US. It became my favorite city in the country, I only met welcoming and kind people who treated me like one of their own. The city does have a strange atmosphere, like it’s been stuck in time, but I was really inspired by some stories that I heard, and I always give credit to the locals when mentioning how good the city is becoming now, because from what I seen they always had each other’s back with no outside help and got their salvation out of sheer solidarity and effort. Much love for Michigan from Corsica.

Man - all those people walking on the sidewalks of Detroit in those old video clips. It reminds me of one of my high school friends' mother : she told us back then that in the 1940's - when she was a young girl - Detroit was like New York City ( I also heard that said by another lady concerning Mount Clemens, the capital of Macomb County, north of Detroit, which is in Wayne County ). That's exactly what I got to thinking : how I would be hard-pressed to identify either Detroit or NYC in those clips, absent any landmarks that have survived down to the present day.

I went to the place in 2018; it was quite a modern, clean, popular, and facilitated urban view. People enjoyed daily life by walking around the riverside near the GM building, racing on boats on the water, or casino life at nightfall. Some people may ask: The city's crime rate is still high. This may sound reasonable that as reports in the papers have shown, yes, there is still something that is contributing to the people's concern, such as early closure of business hours at the local stores(usually around 4-5pm on business days); and frequent police patrols from daylight to nightfall, focusing on highly populated areas like black communities; casinos and a few sections of downtown. If you'd like to visit the city with your own eyes, you'd better choose daylight to come out and stay in areas that are heavily crowded and come back to the hotel or motel no later than 10pm(because after this time you can hear horns of police cars all around downtown).

Detroit is improving from decades of decay, but it's got so much work that needs to be done to be "good" again, at least if you comparing how the city was in its peak. So much of the city still has empty land, & abandon buildings to fill in. The population is only 600,000, it's peak was 1.8 million, it's got a long way to go to fill all that population back in. Other then buses does Detroit even have public transit? Barely. I hope Detroit does continue to grow and improve but it will take decades I think.

Unfortunately unions played a very large roll in Detroit's downfall. UAW prevented car companies from being competitive during hard times in the automotive sector. As a result the big three kept lowering the quality of their cars, in an effort to reduce costs, while paying workers very high salaries they could not afford. The result was more and more manufacturing was relocating to regions with lower incomes and eventual bankruptcy pressures. City worker unions also profited greatly on the backs of the city, aligning with politicians who promised them golden handshakes, excessive pay raises and very large pension plans. These golden pension plans ended up crippling the city's ability to afford to maintain services, like police, city maintenance, parks and other services. Even though Detroit had one of the highest crime rates, it also had one of the lowest numbers of on duty police personnel. Once the city was no longer able to maintain itself there was a large push by residents to relocate to better run suburbs. It was politicians who ran the city into the ground. It was the city unions that cried the loudest when the city went bankrupt 8:30 . Not because they cared about Detroit, but they were about to lose their incredibly golden pensions. Now that the city is no longer on the hook for these ridiculous promises the city has been slowly rebuilding itself. Even though the car manufacturing is almost gone, new businesses are sprouting up, as the city invites new investment to rebuild the economy.

The comeback is vastly overstated . It' s true areas are improving but as a percentage of the city as a whole very low. Crime did ease last year. One reason were a couple of rhe worst areas were targeted with special task forces to go after the worst offenders and gang bangers. Another reason never talked about is Detroit criminals have really begun targeting suburbs. Several bordering communities are seeing huge increases of violent crime with the majority being Detroiters. While it is Detroiters those crimes are not part of Detroit crime statistics.

Nah Whites leave, take their businesses with them and Blacks are left cause its affordable and everyone always blames them yet it's like we forget Jim Crow era and did anyone really expect Black people to own businesses in White America? Now that it's bouncing back with the same majority Black, whites want to take credit again.

Politics were the primary reason for Detroit's downfall. Democrats largely had the correct policies (excluding racism) up until the 60s... Workers rights, breaking up the trusts, pro private sector unions, laws strengthening the middle class were all great policies under Democratic administrations. Once LBJ's great society programs were enacted it became clear the Democrats were the party of Marxism amd the elites. The Democrat party moved further left and you saw the fruits of that in Detroit over the last several decades and can see the downfall today in California, Portland, and New York. Democrat policies largely do not work and their incessant belief that throwing more money and government at problems will solve them is manifested in failing cities like Detroit.

So much this talk about racism in Detroit is ridiculous, racism went both ways and still does. Can’t complain about “white flight” in one hand then talk about “gentrification” in the other.

While they mention race riots etc. that lead to the downfall. They forgot to mention that immigrants coming into detroit in the 90s from middle east and mexico and other places had a huge impact on Detroit's revival, buying and fixing houses and neighborhoods that were dilapidated, starting businesses, protecting their neighborhoods.

Detroit has a very large Hispanic population. Mexican population has been in Detroit and other Michigan cities for well over 100 years. I'd went to school with Mexican and other Hispanics when I was a kid during the early 70s. Seeing a Mexican was just as common as seeing a Black person.

@johndeer8489 One of Chicago's biggest gangs is Mexican and Puerto Rican. The Latin Kings. Hispanics have been gang banging in Chicago as long as the Hispanics have been banging in LA. Mexicans migrated to Detroit and the rest of the rust belt States for jobs. Detroit also has a large central American community. So when I'd moved to California. It wasn't a big deal to me, due to me being around Hispanics.

You meant to say downtown Detroit. a small town has more stores than Detroit does we don't even have a Krogers, you know its bad when you don't have a Krogers. Walmart, Target pretty much no major or minor stores in any category don't see where they get to good again. Detroit is 85% black there is no way anyone hell any outfit is building in the city. Downtown went from good to bad to good again and it's stil not good. You figure because they put up a colored basketball court and a bland riverwalk with no retail or resturants, any attractions kayakng, no skate board park, skate rental nothing along the riverwalk it's a joke again no target etc. A vistor can't go pick up little what or what nots at a walmart or target if they staying over nght downtown where they gone go, you figure because we have casinos which the money doesn't go to the city. Good again where, what in blue blazers would visitors do in Detroit ain't shit here, too many blacks
