Just finished watching this cool documentary. I live in a rust belt city too and I really found some of the things the people of Detroit are doing to be interesting. I can also relate to how the media makes the city look shitter than it is. They do it in Buffalo all the time and I know of some pretty cool spots in the city.

I just like the whole vibe of the videos. Where I live (Buffalo is also a beat up rust belt city) everyone says, "oh I can't wait to get out", and "there is nothing to do here" and so on. I have to admit that the jobs are lacking but I have never ran out of things to do here.

I am glad our generations sees value in cities that people abandoned so they can live in the burbs. There is an influx of people who want to live in cities that are young, well educated, and motivated.

I see Detroit as a city of great value for hard working investors. There are so many historical buildings and they can be purchased for basically nothing. All it takes is a few good ideas and Detroit could be right back on track.

One of the major problems (or so I've heard) is that it would be outrageously expensive to knock down and/or renovate a lot of the buildings downtown because of asbestos in the buildings, and they can't let that shit get out. But yeah, I've definitely noticed a trend in younger people moving toward the city and away from the suburbs recently, especially since housing is cheap as shit. I looked last year, and for what I'm paying now for my house, I could have had an apartment that was more than twice the size in Detroit, and I only live like 12-15 minutes outside the city up 75. There are some nice areas in Detroit around the stadiums and stuff, but there's still a LOT of work to do. I was in Chicago last week, and it's so nice compared to Detroit. Hopefully we can get to that level someday.

Sounds like some young motivated entrepreneur needs to start a full service asbestos removal company...

Any takers?

its really awesome to see a piece that focuses on the positive going on in Detroit, when the media only focuses on the negative.

The youth of detroit are the ones that will bring Detroit back to life
