I've just spent 10 minutes using google maps and street view to try to find some really good examples of urban decay
let's have a chat about Perth and mining (in particular iron ore)
Detroit's prosperity ended in the 1950's with mismanagement from local govt.. unions wanting and defending worker rights drove out the auto industry to cheaper overseas options. They didn't see it coming however US prosperity ended in 1913 with the formation of the Federal Reserve Central Bank and the IRS income tax system. "I have unwittingly ruined my country." President Woodrow Wilson said when he signed the Federal Reserve act into law.
The US is the wealthiest nation, but the wealth is concentrated in fiat paper markets, Federal govt, weapons production, military suppliers, and military bureaucracy. US schools are inferior because of poor funding and government propaganda biased curriculum.
Detroit was like ford in Australia they wouldn't build cars people wanted to buy or could afford to run. I was amazed when there in the 80s the cars were huge lumbering poor handling fuel guzzling, tanks and cheap. America is run by wealthy lobbyist who are only interested in sucking up more wealth for themselves. The agriculture and medical industry also have their nose in the trough. The millions in subsidies given to wealthy companies and individuals is obscene. How extremely wealthy farmers get millions in subsidies for not growing crops, and then get 30% GC on their land because of that, and the battlers cant afford to get in because of that, while needy cant get medical treatment, which is also another rip off by the rich is just incomprehensible. Now in that country you have the right to shoot any-body, all you have to do is say you felt threatened?? As long as you can pay the lawyer, and the victim cant.

You are having a major lend of the truth with many of these comments buster.
settle down mate and get some facts right.
Zimmerman was aquitted in a court of law by a jury. he acted in self defence. The evidence is there for all to see. The attacker doubled around and attacked him, smashing his head into the concrete repeatedly. What do you expect him to do, lay there and take it?
It's not against the law to carry a gun and use it to protect yourself in the US.
Your 'feelings' on this case are just that, they are not fact.
Allowing the media to dictate to your "knowledge" is sloppy.
Did you take a look at the inside pics? I would not buy that place if they paid me $50K. It's a massive liability. But, yes, the whole thing.Dumb quesiton maybe...Is that for the whole building or one of the units?

What garbage, it's Zimmermans defence that stretched the truth, Zimmerman only got off because of a now exposed racist jury. The guy is unstable and had plenty of violence related charges against him (including attacking police), unlike his victim.
He proceeded to hunt down and kill and unarmed person minding their own business despite being told not to confront them by police. God knows how he got away with it, only in US America.
Where's the really bad areas in Detroit?
I've just spent 10 minutes using google maps and street view to try to find some really good examples of urban decay, but I'm surprised at how neat and tidy most places look? Lots of nice trees and neat lawns. You can tell that it was once very prosperous.
See ya's.
Thank you for a very good roundup of the facts in this video.
Suggest those espousing the sentiment of the drive by media have a good look and stop with the emotional rhetoric and racist talk.
Seems bizarre that this case is getting this kind of attention. Seems the general public are being deliberately provoked into taking a stand on this case one way or the other.
Watch the pea under the thimble as they say. What else is going on in the US that the public should be paying attention too?
Detroit was the industrial powerhouse of the world two generations ago. It had the highest per capita income in America in 1960. Nobody did a thing to Detroit. Detroit did this to itself. It's a one-party state. There hasn't been a Republican mayor since 1961.
There was a fabulous tweet on the Internet yesterday. 'If Obama had a city, it would look like Detroit.' That sums it up.
