thought it was a great video to post in here for folks who are interested in Detroit, the video is basically a tour of Detroit around the city and downtown (30 mins) while talking about the city problems and also some positive points as well.

He has a lot of videos on Detroit but this is his recent one ..

10 minutes into this video and he is still on 94 west at I 75? This guy is a TOOL!

Carries a GLOCK wherever he goes? Lives in FLINT? ROFLMAO...All he does is drive around Greek Town? Eastern MArket and the East Side??? The NEW PHILOSOPHER OF DETROIT!
He knows very little of LIFE in Detroit. He is just regurtitating what he has heard from FUX NEWS...and seen on Gratiot? There are NO WAL*MARTS IN DETROIT!!

Then at 25 minutes we find out the guy is a RACIST TEA PARTY member!!

A "great" video? You set a pretty low bar.

Demcad's video is very good in my opinion. The only error he makes is giving too much credit to downtown Detroit. He says several times that the downtown is a nice booming place. That couldn't be further from the truth. Downtown as a whole is empty, desolate, and depressing when compared to other walkable downtowns around the nation filled with tourists, white-collar professionals, retail, occupied office buildings, etc.

Some folks will take offense to this video because Demcad explains a fact that Detroit has been run into the ground by Democrats the past 50 years. The truth hurts doesn't it.

Fixed that for you. Plenty of successful cities under competent Democratic leadership, Denver being one.

Name some successful Republican cities and what they did differently.

Let's try entire states: Mississippi, Alabama, AK. Model states for America. NY and CA could only dream of becoming like the red sea (deep south).

Snydely and his fellow legislatures are hell bent on turning Michigan into Texas

Essentially, a low wage, undereducated, regressive welfare state ("Michissippi").

My point was that Demcad was correct in pointing out that 50 years of one-party leadership has failed Detroit miserably. There was nothing wrong with what he said.

I am well-aware that a city's demographics matter a lot more than the political leadership. Not all Republicans and Democrats are the same either. Here in Seattle, the Democratic leadership is very pro-business and has attracted many companies. The city's demographics are comprised of educated, high-income earners. Detroit's Democrats were race-baiting socialists who drove away business and in turn its tax base.

After reading my initial statement, I did come off as very partisan. Didn't mean to go that route though.
