I mean, if you've been there it's pretty plain to see that while it is a sort of poster child for urban blight, you can also clearly see that the powers that be are dedicated to demolishing derelict houses, building urban farms and trying to save what they can. Instead of giving up, they are performing CPR.

If that's what Kamala Harris will bring to the whole country sign me the fuck up.

One of my good friends is from Detroit. Until his and his wife's parents passed away they would go back every year. He saw it get worse and worse then better and better. Last time he went he stayed downtown and he said he rode his bike all over town. What used to be horrible areas was now fields and green space. And he said a decent portion of downtown was much better than it was when he lived there. So while its not ideal, they are making an effort that seems to helping somewhat.

Speaking with Trump is just a waste of time and Joe knows it...Why talk with Trump or a MAGA supporter when they're bad faith operators?

Great read if you never heard of this project before.

The Lost City Of Trump

It is a cult

This is heart breaking to listen to

I spent two days in Detroit this summer and I gotta be honest, when I was there I told my son this is a hell of a lot nicer than downtown Pittsburgh is since Covid.

The homeless population in Pittsburgh has grown seemingly 10 times to what it was when I left working downtown in 2019.

Since then I’ve been to Pittsburgh I will say 10 times, mostly for concerts and hockey games and the entire downtown city smells like piss. It’s sickening.

I felt safer and more comfortable in Detroit than I did my hometown

Maybe know where you are.

It's a good thing Michigan isn't a swing state or anything

its yet another tough call for voters... this time in Michigan

One guy is basically calling the biggest city in the state a hell scape

And then the sitting governor fed a potato chip to some chick who hosts a podcast called "chip chat"

tough day for Michigan voters indeed

I do recall several years ago a guy from the great state of Michigan having quite the epic meltdown on this board. He and @KennyBanyeah had some great exchanges lol

He was really conscious and alert about how dangerous it could be. Outside his college dorm

My friend always talked about how dangerous Detroit used to be. He used to talk about how people were killed outside his college dorm when he was there. One was a prostitute who was set on fire. Yikes!

He's about 10 years older than me and not a big guy and probably has an expensive bike...... but he was never worried as he biked solo through Detroit last time he was there.

Last time I was there was for my last company 2 years ago. They had us in a hotel right downtown by the Grand Circus Park. Didn't feel unsafe walking around to dinner or from the office to the hotel. We even considered walking to Little Caesar's Arena for the Wings game, but it was a bit far. I could see the Ambassador Bridge from my hotel room.

Also went up there every year pre-COVID for an outdoor hockey gathering at Clark Park in Mexican Town. That area is a bit sketchy, but the people are super cool. I didn't care much for Dearborn, though.

That's probably because you're outspokenly and violently anti-Muslim.

Just kidding *wink wink*.

I've never been there, but parts of the city look cool. And for much of the 20th century it seemed like such an amazing city.

It's nice when ghost posts show up. Just in time for the Halloween season

Couple things.....

If you're voting for him you're basically voting for JD at this point. No way Trump finishes his term. He's declining rapidly.

Also if he wins, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he doesn't survive until the inauguration. So many people left and right hate him and know he's a danger to the country. And a ****. Not saying I want it to happen, I'd prefer a prison sentence, but I can see it happening.

I could be wrong, but I think he's saying that on purpose because he's an attention whore. Just like he always refers to the Spanish flu epidemic of 1917, he knows it's 1918, but he says 1917 because he knows it will get people talking about him.
