I had to go to 11 Mile to get a car , I figured In and Out and never look back , Well I took a wrong turn and was heading North ..... 10 mile .... 9 mile......8 Mile


OMG It kept getting worst No roads Houses Burning NO Cops anywhere people walking right down the middle of the high way ..

I swear 1 mile road must be a bottom less pit into hell cause it just kept getting worst.

I got out I just kept driving i was either going in the lake and taking the new car and family with me or , Just the fact that i really just wanted to be anywhere but here ....

It Sucked . Never again

it's just amazing. that city has the ability to be absolutely beautiful but it's just completely overrun with thugs an useless people. i don't understand why it can't be cleaned it up. i know they're trying to renovate parts and maybe it'll get there but it seems it's going to hell faster than they can fix it. i have family there i haven't seen in years because i refuse to go back. i don't understand how they do it.

You know your city sucks when even the dead people are leaving.

Things are getting so bad that people are moving their deceased loved ones’ bodies out of the city into other cemeteries.
  1. It’s the only city in the history of the United States to hit a population of over 1,000,000 residents and then subsequently fall back under that number.
  2. The city has lost more than half of its population since the 1950’s.
  3. Over 30% of the city’s population lives below the poverty line.
  4. Over 36 square miles (58 square kilometers) of land sits vacant, which is roughly the size of the city of San Francisco.
  5. The city tears down between 1,500 and 2,000 homes a year, which only keeps pace with the problem and doesn’t cut into the backlog of the 12,000 abandoned homes.

I have to wonder if the Big 3 Cause this?

x2. it's just like anything else in life. you can't help others unless you're strong yourself. we keep ignoring our own troubles and we won't be able to help other nations cuz we won't exist.

i don't think they caused it, but the constant rollercoaster ride of the auto industry probably doesn't help. bottom line is it's ran by incompetent government. but they're only going to get so far if the citizens don't also get off their asses and take a little pride in their communities too. the city can rebuild it all they want but if the citizens are just going keep desroying it it's a useless fight. ever try and teach a pig to sing?
