The Death And Decay Of Detroit, As Seen From The Streets
With the stock market hitting record highs day after day, it is easy to move on and forget that one of American's once premier cities, Detroit, has been bankrupt for nearly a year. But out of mind doesn't mean out of sight, especially now that Google has launched its street view Time Machine, which provides for 7 years worth of street images, showing the time shift of the tumultuous period period starting in 2007. One blogger who decided to take this time lapse data and apply it to the city of Detroit is GooBing Detroit who, as the following time-lapse photos demonstrate, has captured Detoit's unprecedented slow-motion collapse into death and decay in what is the closest we have to "real time."
Perhaps what is most stunning about the following series of photos is not the ultimate fate of the bankrupt city, but how quickly a once vibrant metropolis has succumbed to blight and sheer desperation.
Hopefully not coming to a street near you.
All photos from the Goobingdetroit tumblr depict various areas and streets in Detroit, then and now.

Feel like you can kind of see how this scene unfolded:
In the top photo, the tree is blocking the view of that yellow house in the middle — that house isn’t in great shape, but it’s ok. The house to the left has neatly trimmed hedges and a chair on the porch. The house on the right has been gutted by fire.
I imagine that middle house - since it’s been demo’d by 2012 - caught on fire and caused the further damage to the house at the right. Whoever had been living in the nicely maintained house on the left, moved out, and that house was gutted.
In the last photo — with the nicely maintained house farthest to the right — you see another nice house on the left, with a boarded up, but fairly stable, house in the middle. By 2012, both nice houses are gutted, as is the boarded up one in the middle.
Springwells Village
Near City Airport. Wonder why they didn’t take down the one next door while they were at it…
From top to bottom: 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013. Hickory Street between Manning and Pinewood, northeast Detroit.
Of the 12,093 properties in this Detroit neighborhood, 1,037 are owned by the City of Detroit, mostly due to tax foreclosure. Another ~4,500 are either subject to tax foreclosure right now, or will be in the next year or two.
Eastwood between Queen and MacCray, Northwest Detroit. Just east of Osborn, in “Burbank”… if anyone actually calls it that. Of the 34 properties on this block, 24 have been tax foreclosed, 13 are at risk of foreclosure, and precisely 1 property is in good tax standing.
Corner of Thaddeus and S. Leigh Street, Southwest Detroit. That’s a lotta washing machines…
Hazelridge between Celestine and MacCray, Northeast Detroit
This block is incredible. Still pretty dense with housing, but only one of them is occupied. If you go a block to the west, the housing stock changes to brick and the neighborhood looks pretty stable.
The New York Times visited this block during the Motor City Mapping survey:
"Blight, as Karl Baker, one Detroit resident, has seen, tends to spread. Along his block of Hazelridge Street on the East Side, he is the only remaining tenant. “Everyone went bye-bye,” Mr. Baker said the other day as he walked up the center of the silent street to get to his house since no sidewalks had been shoveled.
Most of the houses nearby are standing but abandoned, and visitors have clearly passed through — empty liquor bottles lie along debris-covered floors near broken windows and doors, every memory of a metal appliance or gutter seems to be gone from some of the homes, and two old couches that were dumped along a lawn are now blanketed by a thick layer of snow.
The last neighbor left six months ago, he said, and the single streetlight overhead has not worked for months. “I love the quiet, but if something went wrong, the city isn’t going to come,” Mr. Baker said. “They don’t do anything.”

Classic.
"five days from now we will fundamentally change America".
Obviously the only campaign promise he kept
You have to give credit to Eric Holder for undermining rule of law so comprehensively that political opposition in the land of the free is perilous to one's assets, friends, pursuits, freedoms etc. just like in the run up to the American revolution, but with wiretapping and comprehensive pervasive systems of control at the ready, shore to shore and offshore too.
Well, Eric Holder certainly deserves credit for being a world class criminal thug, but he is a giant standing on the shoulders of giants.
There's a political opposition?
Dick Hoover Jr.
Let's elect some more democrats
Looks like these houses vomited their contents during their death throes

The first food riot in America will be it's last.
No - once it starts, there will be many. We just wont have the TV in order to see them all.
It wont be the same, I agree.
Southern California will be hit first.
Barack Obama hates black people.
Well, why not. After all, he is only 1/4 black.
Free Kwame!!!
Kwame? Hell, FREE Mayor-for-Life Coleman Young !!
What a fucking disaster.
Surely, though, it's nothing that a little more QE can't fix.
Start by repealing the 13th amendment and putting the residents of Detroit back to work.
And the government social scientists wants this Democrat success story spread out for everyone to enjoy.
Slowly but surely it is coming to a large city near you.
Government grants are what "scientists" need.
Just like plants need Brawndo!
Wonder why they store all their bedding and stuff on their front "lawns"...
The lawns are cleaner and smell better than the bedrooms.
Looks like teardowns and opportunity to convert to farmland.
We'll start that by making it all tax free.
Stay tuned on that bitcoin thing. No one has been posting how that price has been heading straight back up again.
You would think so. Not sure why the city is resisting. Just today saw they are ending a program using goats to keep down the weeds and such.
http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/06/06/goats-face-eviction-from-their-gr...
the "city is resisting" because the Agenda is to move "other nationals" in as a part of "globalising" the nationstates.
nothing to see here, move along. . .
in places like BC or Seattle, West Coast cities, "chinese" money continues to shop for houses, real estate is booming. . .
place like Detroit, are merely being "backdoored" to a different type of developer-shopper, Special Economic Zones for "future factory cities" while the "coasts" stay relatively less polluted by "industry".
look at any third-world "nation" for a hint at what's going down. . .same gig going forward, just more variety in the appearances.
If you want to know what the USA will look like within two generations look at Brazil today.
Looks like teardowns and opportunity to convert to farmland.
The problem there is you'd still be in Detroit. You'd live marginally longer trying to homestead in South Africa.
No foreign power has ever done as much damage to the US as we have done to ourselves.
We would be outraged and calling for war if another nation had done this to us but the corporate executives and financers - with the connivance of our own politicians - are the ones that have destroyed this nation's economic base.
This is what happens when you have the endless pursuit of the cheapest possible labor (withthe resulting 'savings' and 'productivity improvements' going to a very few at the top). 'Free Trade' - supported by BOTH political parties on behalf of their corporate overlords - has destroyed the jobs base in this nation. The Oligarchs have won - the Republic is dead but the Empire is crumbling fast.
This is what happened when the focus is on 'capital' alone - when more money is to be made simply from money instead of earned through labor.
Some saw it coming - Perot for one (he was right on this for all his other 'issues'). Watch below for a prescient look:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PQrz8F0dBI
"No foreign power has ever done as much damage to the US as we have done to ourselves."
Depends on what role you see the FedRes having and who owns and controls it.
Substitute in "unions" for "we" and you would be getting somewhere. Eschew union made products. Demand right to work laws. Demand public service unions be banned, or else end public service sector job security. Subcontract their asses. They vote 90% socialist, and grow their numbers. They are sucking away your present now, not just your future.
Big 3 Auto Management and Labor had a good thing going extracting excess dollars out of the rest of the US for 50 years. A nice living for unskilled labor until the 1970's. But they eventually killed the Golden Goose just like textile and shoe manufacturing fled New England after 1920. The cycle of economic life.
The fed and all central banks are controlled by the faux-Hebrew/Babylonian/Khazarian/progressive/fascist Tribes of Benjamin and Judah.
The same fractional reserve Babylonian money creation fraud is in the process of confiscationg the wealth of all nations who have fallen prey to the maleficent system.
It is unquestioningly a foreign power, with the corruption of our politicians and courts with their limitless money supply, that has brought this moral and economic destruction upon us.
While the Joos will deny it vociferously, the whole plan is laid out in the "Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion". If you think that what has happened in the past 100 years is just coincidence, you are either brain-dead or a willing participant in the great destruction......it is planned and intentional.
Only the Joos and their appointed, morally devolved, dupes are allowed, even temporarily into positions where they can control the creation or dissemination of the world money supply.
As the American empire is brought to its knees, China will be brought forth, for a very short time, as the political instrument through which they will effect the final takeover of the world monetary system. The seeds of economic chaos in China were cast in mathematical inevitability with the establishment of the PBOC and the Babylonian system of national economic disintergration inherent in the fractional reserve fraud.
With an excess population of two hundred million young men, as a consequence of their "one-child policy" of attempted population control, Beijing knows that many millions of their excess male population must be assigned as fodder for foreign adventurism before any significant downturn in employment or business opportunities brings chaos and rebellion and implosion of central control by the politburo.
For years now, due to the shortage of Chinese women, roving bands of young chinese males have been invading surrounding nations and kidnapping young women to be taken back to China as wives.
We must remember, China is a agglomeration of many dissimilar Cantons, With many, many, more different spoken languages from village to village, with the residents of one village many times unable to even speak the language of another village just a few miles away. It is error to perceive China as a monolithic nation, with one spoken language and a culturally or theistically homogenous population.
China will spend its short-term regional economic and military advantage on ever-more far-flung delusional, aggressive, oppressive, hegemonic thrusts into asia, the middle east, Africa, and oceania. With this aggressive external international posture, the Chinese politburo will bring about the collapse and implosion of its internal control and withdraw into internal conflict.
It is all part of the plan extolled in the "Protocols"......and it is all to be effected through the implementation of the Babylonian fractional reserve money creation fraud which it has installed in the nations, which is designed to confiscate all wealth without the populations even understanding what has happened to them.
China's rise will be short-lived and will end in calamity for the ruling crimnals in the politburo. China will ultimately devolve into the many Cantonistic regions from which it was assembled.
The U.S. May well also devolve into regional political entities to overcome the maleficent legal and political edictatory excretions being imposed by the morally and ethically corrupted oppressive Establishment seated.there.
The currency conjuring booth, it would appear, is an even more lucrative scam than the diamond monopoly.
Your overall post is on the button apart from this: If you think that what has happened in the past 100 years is just coincidence, you are either brain-dead or a willing participant in the great destruction.
I consider myself well-read and am educated to post-doctoral level but, despite avidly reading history and politics I never realized the truth until a few years ago. That's because my information all came from 'approved outlets'. Once you begin to see the cracks in the Official Narrative you begin an unorthodox line of investigation and then the whole house of lies come crashing down.
My point is that most people are too engaged in other things to make the required effort (and that's what the destroyers are banking on). But it doesn't mean they're brain-dead or a willing participant in the great destruction. Our job is to let the light in on the truth.
Welcome Monty!
This destruction was done intentionally by the international banksters and our own politicians of both parties.
If these basterds are not hanged and forever culled from among us, we will never recover or prosper again.
Not shown in the pictures are the potholed streets, the poor police & fire protection, the failed schools, spotty garbage collection, reeking sewers, roving gangs of angry teens, and, of course, utter lack of jobs. Detroit: it's not a life, it's a life sentence.
Barack Obama's America writ large.
If you say that too loud, you'll get D'Sousa'ed. Rule of Law is applied selectively. If you are a bundler for Dems, you get away with billion dollar frauds(Corzine et al) but if you make a very successful anti-Obama documentary you get the book thrown at you for a 15k$ booboo.
ahhh, if only you could rid amrka of the "Barack Obama"
then you can return to those "Leave it to Beaver" daze. . .
Yes but Detroit still has world class sports teams, especially in Basketball and Hockey. And lets not forget the excellent cable show on how, many city residents can make cash on the side by visiting their local pawn shop. There has got to be lots of free stuff in those abandoned houses.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand -- it's gone!

Basketball?
Police protection? - wow
Schools fail? - No, students and teachers fail. Buildings do not.
"Angry" teens? - ah yes, let's spread the teens meme. Teens. Yup. And they are angry. Yes, that's the reason.
Must be your first day - Ill be watching you.
'Angry teens', is that the new code for 'flash mob'?
If I was a teen growing up in this world, angry wouldn't cover it.
Take a look at Detroit - it's what you have to look forward to, if you are a teen.
Funny. One degraded version exhibits a waving US American flag.
Hidden message? When you thought that 'americanism' was the best thing to have ever happened to humanity.
That's Walt Kowalksi's house and he says, "get off of my lawn".

"When you thought that 'americanism' was the best thing to have ever happened to humanity."
That was Early Americanism.
It died in childhood.
What everyone is missing is what is under Detroit: Giant Salt Mine Under Detroit!
https://www.google.com/search?q=giant+salt+mine+under+drtroit&ie=utf-8&o...
I suspect there is much more to this 'planned' blight to gain control of what is under Detroit.
Think about it. A giant salt mine. Think of all the things that one could do with a giant salt mine?
Why, one could store a bunch of stuff under there, or maybe build another city!
plenty of people investing in that future, ahead of the curve.
LOL!!! That's fucking hillarious! The healing power of salt! Who would have thought? I am totally gonna put more salt on my fries from now on.
it's a RECOVERY
Next up ChaCongo.
Sweet baby Jesus, please make Chi-Congo next!
What war has done abroad, polticians and bankers have done at home.
Thank you Free Trade and communist/criminal unions and politicians.
Why dont they call it GeithnerTown
Because it's been nominated to be re-named "Bernake Village"! LoL
Looks like some areas of Baltimore.
Not much in common, eh ;)
"Sheeeeit", says Clay Davis.
Previous mayor...convicted of stealing gift cards for needy families.
Can't make this sheeeeeit up.
It looks like parts of most, if not all MSA's in this country.
Even the people coming out of Detroit are utter shit. I can imagine what they had grow up in, but for fucks sake, don't spread your fucking failing mentality if you manage to get out of that shit hole.
Not only are they getting out they are spreading.
Let's list some of the beautiful garden areas of the US similar to Detroit:
I nominate East St. Louis. (bring your guns)
We can blame people all we want and there is much blame to go around at the individual level - but;
This was done by those who embraced Globalization. Most favored national status for China, NAFTA, ALL free trade agreements, Unrestricted Open Borders Illegal "immigration." Ross Perot was right in the early 1990's, but the majority listened to slick Willie instead.
Given our present circumstances is this fixable?
No.
I voted for Perot FWIW. Then I admit I felt a bit silly for it after he was smeared in the media.
I know this is why Detroit failed and look just how many voted this down. That is why this is not fixable.
I saw first hand how Honda of America came in to compete against the Big Three with all the advantages a new comer has and that Detroit would never be given.
"all the advantages a new comer has"... Such as?
Sure they don't have the pensions and high-priced 60 year olds shuffling around. They may get a break on property taxes, but they had to buy land, erect factories, build infrastructure, set up supply chains, forge relationships here. I would think that all of the big 3 factories and land would have been paid off years ago.
I worked at Honda of America as a contractor so I have a little bit of insight as to how and why they were successful in competing in the US car market while GM and other legacy US auto mfgrs were failing.
No labor unions.
No big city demographic issues (never ever set up a plant or supply chain near a big city).
Multi-year deals (10 years and more) with no state and local taxes on factory plant operations.
No legacy health care or pensions was obvious but not the major contributor to their success.
These are huge advantages that can't be dismissed and is why Detroit is in the condition it's in today. Americans bought foreign designed and made automobiles because they were made at a price point that Detroit could not compete with. That's why Detroit is closing plants and opening them overseas.
You mean advantage like being able to build quality cars that lasted?
I drank that koolaid and bought a honda once.
After 3 yrs that "quality" had a rusted out gas tank(the sheet metal stampings were so thin they had soldered patches on all the corners), totally rusted A member (caused the front wheels to go in different directions) and burned oil like Saddam.
All during the time I lived on Patton St. in the D.
More government please. We obviously don't have enough.
I could take similar pictures in almost any neighborhood over that same period, where a house is abandoned and boarded up for even a few months. However since 2012 a lot of my California neighborhoods have seen such an (unjustified) upsurge, most houses were quickly bought, modestly cleaned up, and flipped to new owners.
The real damage in Detroit doesn't even show in pictures. The real damage in California, neither. Northern California still has Silicon Valley, but Southern California is right on the edge of losing its last major industry, entertainment. We both share an influx of Chinese and other foreign money. There are regions of some activity still, some high-value medical technology firms in particular it seems, but these will follow the trend soon enough and then, friends, I just don't know. We used to have aerospace, but that's mostly gone now. There's a port that can't really be moved, and some big old refineries still chugging along somehow. There's agriculture, but even if the drought ends that won't economically support a population like Los Angeles. Thirty years ago there was an active computer industry down here, even twenty years ago there was still a lot of small-scale manufacturing and even apparel tucked away in odd corners, and I guess there still is some, here and there, but only old stuff or small stuff, new stuff goes elsewhere and if something small grows, it moves out. And we have Governator Jerry Brown, senile and fully corrupted shadow of the goofball he used to be, running for reimmaculation on a platform that everything is fixed and wonderful. Against a shaved-head Hindu Goldman Sachs alumnus - who I will vote for! Ain't we got fun.
@IWC- don't sugar coat it.. "Governator Jerry Brown, senile and fully corrupted shadow of the goofball he used to be"
.. stealing that one.
I doubt Clownafornia will survive the next big quake, one way or another it's a veritable black swan roosting area - you simply don't acquire 34% of the nation's welfare by accident.
There never really was a Los Angeles. That was just a name tacked on to huge piece of Real Estate with a lot of widely divergent 'islands' of cultural, linguistic, income levels, social caste, and myriad other factors that operated to make it not one city but many cities. It would be like calling the 51 states, The United States.
Being no more united than bill and hilary. sharing little to nothing, and if you ain't in the Movie industry you don't really exist.
But voting for a G-S alumnus for anything but the death penalty is a serious mistake.
your post points out the obvious,
that should be applied to ALL pockets of "humanity" that exist today - there "never really was" any One Thing that ties everyone together, but "death & taxes" - ie, the nationstate model, which is raise 'em up, pair 'em off, work, breed, shop, die -
rinse, repeat, profit.
and yes, "voting" is an unnecessary indulgence of fantasy.
Ahhh...
So that;s why the push for moar illegals...
Created by Holder's people.
This shit started forty or fifty years ago but the Obama Administration is the only one claiming to have "saved Detroit".
You should have seen the other guy!
I can't imagine what a city would look like it if it wasn't saved!
It's cuz white peeple are raycist
Hell ya, bitch!
You greedy fuckers, if you just would have given more money to Detroit, this would not have happen.
I get the same feeling (sad) when I see the massive homeless population living in doorways and eating out of trashcans in downtown Los Angeles. This is the "supposedly" richest country in the world. Something is very very wrong here. Sad and embarrassed. Great post, thanks.
"richest country in the world"
That is rich.
Doble tap. Sry. Kthxbi!
That translates to "We have more debt than any other country in the world".
Did we win yet?
The most indebted nation in the history of the world.
The malignant tumer is Washington D.C.
I can't figure out what took it so long to get this way, usually they do a better job and way faster.
It's what's called "slow motion carpet bombing". And then the disease infested rats move/escape to another urban area and demand via the ballot box tha the same bomber crews be brought in again.
you morons do not understand we have to go into iran,syria,ukrainia and libya.
those innocent folks want freedom want american and jewish values democracy plus freedom of choice.
the folks in the fotos above are free to leave old fashioned property and have clearly moved to superb new homes.
they have made that choice because they have the american constitjewsional backing them.
clearly it is a said thing that mental illness forced some of these poor homeless souls to commit suicide we in the government cannot be blamed for the actions of feckless nutters and bone idol lunatics.
these fotos do not represent america that is not how we roll.
only through killin brown folks abroad can we be even free er in der jewish run homelands
You left out Gay Rights.
Home is where the Heart is.

A city is not a group of buildings bounded by streets. A city is it's people. Detoit the city is only a reflection of moral and spiritual decay of it's inhabitants.
If unions and uneducated people are in control...this is the result. Insert your own racial overtones. It's kill the stupid....this would happen in the normal course absent govt programs design to the contrary. What this is natural selection and nothing more.
.
thank gawd you have non-union, educated rulers as MAJORITY in control further up the food chain.
like Wall Street, & DC. . . and the City of London, Vatican City - you know, those "natural selection" enclaves.
Ever wonder where the gravy train stops? Now ya know.
DEEtroit will host the 2016 Republican National Convention......
Detroit was in its peak when the United States was the world’s largest oil exporting nation. As oil went, so went Detroit.
Please show me any European-American neighborhood in which this occurs, even impoverished ones.
The decline of Detroit began with the mechanization of the harvesting of cotton.
Why haven't they blamed "climate change"?
Because it is Bush's fault.
On the bright side, at least we didn't pour hundreds of billions destroying and rebuilding our own cities just to see it go to total waste.

This is going to become the norm outside big cities.
You're going to need a tank to get to work.
Hope the LIRR isn't attacked between Jamaica and Woodside.
Is this the country you want to live in?
Bullshit.
Honestly, how much of this is simply due to urban black culture? Sure, foreclosures happen but apparently as soon as somebody moves out, the "neighborhood" guts it, burns it down, and destroys the housing stock. This isn't long-term decay but criminal destruction. Some of those blocks had beautiful small, almost historic type, homes. A real community keeps those protected or at least doesn't gut and burn them.
Sorry, this isn't all on the banksters and politicians.
Umm, I don't think we are supposed to talk about that. Move along please.
Really? REALLY?? Let's review. It's not like ONE house was foreclosed on because of some guy losing his job, the ENTIRE CITY is beijng foreclosed because the bankers and politicians ROBBED THE COUNTRY!! We're talking MASS UNEMPLOYMENT. You're a government troll trying to inject race into this. Go look at pics of "Millionaires Row" in Detroit, I would say for the most part those WERE all white owned. Gee, they're all falling apart too, so what race should we blame for that? YES, the bankers and the politicians are DIRECTLY resposible for the fall of Detroit, you idiot.
You're right. It's only about 99%. This happens when good people (BTW, the 1%?) just give up on the continuously losing battle against bankers, bureaucrats, inefficient police, defense lawyers and liberal politicians and just decide to go live elsewhere in search of what used to be called the American dream. The only question I have is since Detroit is close to Canada how many went across the border and emigrated permanently?
i'm with you brother but what about syria and libya and iraq.
ancient important buildings mi6 and cia and mossad burnt and looted.
maybe these folks look at the child killing satanists running the show above and that moral compass trickles down.

You can blame the bankers for financing the drug trade, and the politicians for ignoring, and in some case profiting themselves off the drug trade in their communities

Just in case you didn't see my earlier response:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_V8_engine
428[edit]In 1967 the 421 was bored to 4.120. this gave a displacement of 426.61 CID or a 427. The 428 had the same 4.000" stroke as the 421, and was produced from 1967 to 1969. this engine produced 360 hp and 376 hp in 1967, 375 hp and 390 hp in 1968 and 360 hp, 370 hp and 390 hp in 1969. The crankshaft in the 428 also had a "N" cast on them as opposed to the 421's Armasteel. In 1969, Pontiac also used a revised crankshaft out of a Pearlitic malleable-iron, although it still used the "N" casting letter. This new material had stronger alloys in the iron. All 428 engines were factory install in large cars only. However, there were a few dealers that would install a 428 in a customers GTO or Firebird for higher power levels.
It was replaced by the 455 for the 1970 model year.
Blame the Federal Reserve. Hang every bankster and lying thieving politician for treason.
WOW! The effect of Bing maps is devastating! Please switch to google maps!
But seriously those pics are heartbreaking...
I get the feeling that all of the United States is going to look like that soon.
The pattern seems to be one or two houses get foreclosed to sit empty which makes it impossible for anyone to sell. Then there might be a fire but most of the decay shown is the result of the houses being stripped of windows, doors, siding and who knows from on the inside. They ought to just raze entire neighborhoods rather then let them sit there and rot. It would be cheaper for the taxpayer, fend off crime and help salvage value to healthier neighborhoods currently being sucked down that shithole vortex.

Proof that "diversity" is our strength.
Diversity is a strength. Cultural diversity and socio economic diversity can work a treat.
Concentrated poverty not so much.
My confidence in diversity is running low. Do, please, explain how bringing high crime to your doorstep provides a benefit to your culture.
Because equality! and vibrancy! and ... um ... shit.
