When my dad saved enough he moved us from the projects of Cincinnati to a neighborhood in Detroit just like these. Those homes were beautiful. If you haven't seen pictures from the 70s then you have no way of knowing. Once that neighborhood took on more welfare hood types and went down he moved us to another neighborhood, 7 Mile. Another beauty. And in 10yrs it went down too. Now, most of Detroit looks like this. At 18 I broke the hell out and didn't look back.

Ironically their love of the automobile was one of the primary reasons they ended up as they are now. It wasn't so much the welfare queens that like to have too many children on one income, they are the effect, the main cause was the deindustrialization of inner-city Detroit and then white flight that occurred which meant that the cities tax base, and most of the main employers, all left. The city's only claim to fame was the car industry, and once foreign car markets proved to make better cars, that killed GM, Chrysler, and Lincoln, and thus, Detroit. Once those companies failed, white flight to suburbs occurred. The other issue was building freeways which meant that white Americans didn't have to live in the city at all to work. Instead, they can commute which further hurt Detroit's economy. Lack of public transportation infrastructure also meant that living in the city was not convenient enough for most people which lead to further abandonment. It was death by overreliance on a dying industry, sheer incompetency, complacency by American car companies since they failed to innovate, and a decrease in population that led to Detroit being the shit hole that it is today.

This is what happens when people move and they don’t maintain their homes. Usually the most destructive thing is the lack of roof maintenance. Once the water starts entering in, and the rest of the home starts to rot quickly. I remember the 1960s we used to observe that every neglected home had a brand new Cadillac in it. It’s recollections like mine that never make it into the history books. Instead people will re-spin the facts and try to blame somebody else. Even now, any new business that pops up in Detroit is run by an immigrant. The traders just have no desire to do the hard work of a business

What is it like to live in neighborhoods like this today? There were a few homes that offered a little glimpse of what Detroit was and maybe could be. They were always followed by seemingly endless boarded up, burned out hulks surrounded by mounds of trash and debris. We ask the people who live there to "pull themselves up." How hard is that really? Could you do it? I didn't grow up in Detroit but in another rust belt city. The same thing happened. Industry collapsed and the jobs evaporated. The home that was my family's from about 1910, in a solidly middle-class neighborhood, was torn down, the lot plowed over. It breaks my heart to see my old street. You can blame politicians or big companies. There's plenty of blame for them. But we did it to ourselves, too. What did we do to stop it? Who bought the foreign cars? The phones from China? The clothes from India? The shoes from Vietnam? We did. By doing that, WE exported those jobs that kept cities like Detroit thriving. There's a saying: Sow the wind; reap the whirlwind. We have the crop we planted. If we want to make it better, we need to make better choices. And demand our leaders make better choices. And we need to stop thinking of ourselves and start thinking of our children and their children and their children and on.
