DAMN, Detroit gets hit with 'Black Flight'

[Rukus]

dawg, everyone understands you buy when everyone else sells
that is just common sense

the question is, how long can you sit on a property not making any money

how long before Detroit becomes a major "port city"

the white man you talking about buying up the land is either someone with deep pockets or a company.

for the individual investor, shit is too risky.
the average person doesn't have to cash reserves to sit on a property for years not making any money.

you best bet is to watch the situation closely and get in just before the boom starts.

if you know how things work.. what you do is you buy a property.. fix it up.. then make it a section 8 home... why section 8.. because the federal government will pay a percentage of the rent for the low income home owner... my brother in law had a sec 8 home... he charges 1100 for a 3 bedroom.. the government sends him a check every month for 800... the tenant is responbsible for 300... his mortgage is 600.. he is clearing 500 each month... and most sec 8 tenants do wanna lose their section 8 (see I said most) so they wont fugg the house up because its real simple for a landlord to call the feds out to inspect how the house is being kept and if its not kept up on the tenants end they will cut the funding quickly...

doing it that way he in the last 3 years has purchased and is currently renting out 4 more sec 8 houses and he is making profit hand over fist...


WHICH IS THE SAME THING THE WHITE MAN IS DOING....

i know plenty of folks doing this. it is a great hustle.

 

[Cruise]

dude, i know the city inside and out. and i put in my work and do what is necessary.

there are some merits to what you say but in other areas you sound crazy as hell.

and detroit's problems are not all race based. many of detroit's issues are symptoms of the constituents that just don't give a fuck. i have plenty of stories. but one simple observation is why don't mofo's take simple pride and take care of their OWN damn property. they LIVE there. cut the damn grass and pick up the damn litter. there are no white folks holding the black man down and forcing them not to take care of their property....

Then, maybe you need to learn how Detroit works and why. Just because you know it inside and out doesn't mean you know anything about why it is happening.

You are looking at the result but not seeing the cause.

Why is it so difficult to maintain property in Detroit?
Why are taxes so high in Detroit?
Why are the schools so piss poor?
Why do the police treat the people like they are enemy combatants?
Why are city services so spotty?
and on and on.

You think whites are causing all this?

Sure, 1 guy can pick up litter. But, so the hell what? You are picking up 1 piece of trash while the whites are drowning you in garbage!

First, you have to attack the cause before you can start to clean up the mess.

The sooner more realize this, the sooner you will see Detroit become what you want it to be.

Unfortunately, whites HATE to see anyone doing better than them. So, you have to be very careful how much prosperity is allowed in the city before whites declare a new kind of war.

So, I say, take care of your part of the city, build up community and neighborhood relationships. Establish a reputation around town and become known. The knuckleheads aren't going to mess with you if they know you are somebody.

The time is coming when the 2nd part of the Revolution is complete. The white plague will be wiped from the city of Detroit. Propserity will return and these kinds of discussions will seem unnecessary and ridiculous.

 

[Ruff Ryder]

the white man you talking about buying up the land is either someone with deep pockets or a company.

There are a lot of white individuals not only investing but making it their primary residence.

I guess you can't see that all the way from NYC.

The problem with you is that your focus is on white folks. Are the people in Detroit so controlled by white folks that they can't do for themselves. Let me guess....it's white folks sending black folks to rob, steal, sell drugs, prostitute, act ignorant and murder other black folks?

if i didn't know what and who i know i might believe this nonsense. i been dealing with detroit politics since i was 12 years old. as i said there is some merit to what you say but other stuff.... not so much.

fuck whitey. whitey isn't holding down ANYONE in the city of detroit. it is the niggas that is taking the city by siege. there are some decent neighborhoods in the city. why are they decent??? because the people that live there as a whole take care of THEIR neighborhood.

you have some merits...

1. high taxes
2. high insurance

but taxes are high because less than 900,000 people are still paying for the services for 2 million people! thus the reason why bing wants to downsize the city.

and insurance is high because NIGGAS are running rampant in the streets stealing everything that ins't nailed down and tearing up the shit that they can't steal.

it is the undersireable element in the city that is holding detroit down. not whites.

if the niggas wasn't chasing black folks out of the city and fucking it up even more black folks could do some good.

and don't get me started on the schooling (which is related to taxes). colin would not be happy.

[eliive]

Unless you live in Michigan you will not understand just how racially charged this area is, especially Detroit. People ask why there is so much race talk when Detroit is concerned, it's been a way of life for as long as I can remember. 8 Mile Rd separates white from black(Oakland and Wayne Counties) basically and the police will remind you of that. You can't tell me that the term " Driving while black" wasn't originated here.

I've grew up in Romulus and Inkster(suburbs of Detroit) as well and the same thing happens there as well.

One fact you can't get around is just how racially charged this area is, so I can understand why there is so much talk about race.

I've spent a lot of time in Atl too and I remember driving thru Cobb and Fulton Co late at night and getting stopped by police because I had Michigan plates and basically getting warned about how I shouldn't be caught around those parts late at night. Shit didn't bother me at all because it was nothing compared to driving thru Oakland County at night, hell OC aint got nothing on driving thru Taylor, Mi at night.

You are sadly mistaken if you think Detroit, Michigan is the only place with such an atmosphere. I live in the south of the north. Racist from start of this country.

You will never see the problem if you look at it with the white boy's lens.

You keep throwing around the whites' racial slurs toward other people in the city... it's no wonder you ONLY see Detroiters as the problem.

Everyone in Detroit lives by WRITTEN and UNWRITTEN rules.

Why is it only black people seem to be the brunt of crime? Whites spend a lot of time in Detroit. Yet, they don't seem to be victims of murder, rape, and assault to the same degree. Why is that? Because criminals do not attack WHITES on the unwritten rule that WHITES get "SPECIAL" protection in Detroit.

Why is that white business and Arab business dominates all the neighborhoods of Detroit? Because there is an unwritten rule that only WHITES and ARABS get credit to do business in Detroit.

There is the unwritten rule of redlining and the unwritten rule of steering.

There are so many unwritten rules that we follow that do not help us in any way. These are rules specifically designed to ONLY help honkeys, their businesses, and to maintain their interests in the city.

Yet, we can't wait to blame our own people for all the problems that come from following "WHITE" rules.

We say, "he broke into my car" or "he shot at me" or "he broke into my house" or "he doesn't keep up his property"... yet we don't ask...

why does it take the cops forever to respond?
why do the street lights not stay on so I can see the neighborhood?
why are there no neighborhood centers or sub-stations for people when there are problems?
why are there no summer activities or recreation centers to keep the kids out of trouble?

Yet, we will blame our own neighbors in a heartbeat and give the honkeys a pass when they...

deny us credit,
foreclose our homes,
use the police as a weapon against us,
run down our schools,
undermine/manipulate our elected leaders, and
block our businesses.

I've paid my share due to the BS. But, I don't blame the people of the city. It is a situation that is entirely the responsibility of whites.

Instead, I look for solutions and have found they are there IF you are ready to see that WHITES are pitting us against each other.

[HAR125LEM]

Most of us here live in areas that are prime targets for gentrification, high-end businesses. Hell. Give it another decade and New York City will look completely like "SEINFELD" and SEX IN THE CITY"

But...

There is just NO EXCUSE for little crack baby bastards acting up and destroying other Black Folks hard earned blood & sweat, pride & joy. That shit is just straight-up treacherous. There are Johnette Barhams all over our major (inner) cities who try their damnedest to stay in those areas. Because they have the foresight to see what happens if they leave.

But the battle between predatory White Real Estate companies, no-power Black Pols, Racist White Pols, gentrification, and low-life kneegrows with nothing else better to do but prey on their own is too much to deal with. Mentally, Physically, Spiritually, and most of all Financially.

And it hurts when you have to constantly battle your own people. Because the first ones you see SHOULD have your back and be proud of what you have and are trying to do for the neighborhood. I ran into too much of this shit working on various neighborhood revitalization projects during the 80s. And this was money we had to basically FIGHT for from the city.

Guess what happened after these projects were done?

Damn Shame.
We have no pride in a DAMN thing.

doing it that way he in the last 3 years has purchased and is currently renting out 4 more sec 8 houses and he is making profit hand over fist...


WHICH IS THE SAME THING THE WHITE MAN IS DOING....


in the words of Alonzo... THIS SHYT IS CHESS NOT CHECKERS...

I know all about rental propery
know all about section 8 tenents
my brother lost money fucking with cheap rental property in poughkeepsie ny

poughkeepsie is a lot like detroit
infact, upstate new york is a lot like detroit

biggest problems he faced
dead beat tenents
tenants selling drugs out the apartment
fixing shit like the boiler and roof
lot of hidden cost associated with owning rental propery

shit ain't as easy as it seems
infact
there is a reason many landlords don't want to fuck with section 8/people with shitty credit tenants

comes with a lot of problems

rental property is the last thing I would fuck with in detroit right now.

like someone else said
there is not one major supermarket chain in Detroit

I would look at opening a small grocery store or some kind of service related business

 

[Mr chase]

Of all the broke and run down cities in the Unites states. Memphis, Cleveland, Philly, etc, why detroit?
Why does the American Press love to use detroit in every news, could there be a reason? find this reason, and you'll get the answer.

born. raised. left. came back. full ride at u of m. graduate of michigan. fortune 20 corporate employed. travel often. there for two weeks gone the next two. when i leave for good again it will be for the last time.

born. raised. left. came back. full ride at u of m. graduate of michigan. fortune 20 corporate employed. travel often. there for two weeks gone the next two. when i leave for good again it will be for the last time.

Yeah. I knew it had to be something like that.

Well, as someone who is committed to Detroit, I hope you get your wish as soon as possible.

As one other favor, each time you leave Detroit (and when you leave for good), could you tell everyone you can that Detroit is bad, the people of Detroit are bad, everything is bad in Detroit, nothing good happens in Detroit, and there is no hope for Detroit.

I am serious. If you could spread that message, it would really be appreciated.

when i travel i tell the truth. the good and the bad. there are some positive things about the city.

i am also committed to the city. and i put in work to prove it. i just don't blame whitey.

i am off for two weeks at a time. during that time:

i volunteer at various establishments (gleaners, soup kitchens, old folks homes, etc...)
i mentor (DETROIT boy scouts, boys groups at churches and various other programs)
i tutor at DETROIT schools. (primarily mathematics)
i clean the city (motor city blight program, INROADS metropolitan detroit, dp day etc...)
i network (parents are into political circles)

so nigga please. miss me with the bullshit. i see what is going on at a ground level. and in most of these cases white folks don't have anything to do with it.

both of my parents grew up in detroit projects. both are college educated. one is a cpa and the other has a juris doctorate in law. both work in city government. one as a director the other as a magistrate. both of them did not allow whitey to hold them back.

my father spent a year in the federal pen for dodging the vietnam draft. he still made it.

once again miss me with the bullshit.

That's because the white man allowed them to be successful. All the rest are not allowed by the white man to become successful decent folks.

You are that type who thinks they are better than the average Detroiter.

I get it.

You do all that stuff to help those poor, misguided, needy Detroiters.

Oh, if not for you, what would the city do?

And, of course, your white masters couldn't possibly be the problem. It must be those nasty old Detroiters.

I just hope you get your wish to live with whites, in their white paradise. Maybe it will be everything you've always dreamed it would be.

no, i am the type that learned early on that each one should teach one.

if not for the BLACK mentors, teachers, scoutmasters, neighbors, professors, coaches, administrators and friends that i had/have i would not be in a position to do what i do today.

i learned at an early age that how you are raised and who you are raised by has alot more to do with what type of adult you become.

you can continue to ATTEMPT to skew the argument all you want to. but each individual makes a decision to live in filth and deplorable conditions.

my parents and LEADERS taught me to respect my surroundings. they taught me to respect other people. whitey isn't keeping me from doing that.

having a victim mentality is where alot of detroiters get stuck. have some pride about yourself and where you live. clean up your neighborhood. take your ass to school and learn. and if the school isn't up to par get some books and learn your damn self.

white folks are most scared of intelligent black people that can fend for themselves.

want to get whitey out of detroit???

then get educated. have some pride and integrity. get organized and make it happen.

but if you truly want a great detroit it will take people of all races and creeds to come together and make it happen.

 

[TheyCallMeBe]

I want you all to seriously look at what is happening... somethings that the news isnt reporting because they dont want you to know this

if this city is so dead end.. why is it that all the property is getting bought up by white people... why is it that the white man is constantly building up downtown detroit... why is it that the white man is paying money to construct a 2nd bridge to Canada... what major city has 3 casinos that are making money on the scale of the Vegas casinos... these white people arent putting money into something that they think they will lose money on.. why because Detroit is going to be a major port city in the country... you doubt me.. Detroit is the only US city that has access to all 5 great lakes... if you go downtown you still see major commerce traveling up and down the Detroit River daily... they are building new piers downtown just for traffic to stop here... they want the blacks to move out... so the whites can move back in... they see the gold mine that is going to strike and when it does they want first crack at it... its all systematic and if people stop looking at what is printed and spewed on the news and really do some research they will not be falling for this okie doke... reason why I am closing on 3 houses in Rosedale Park... for you outsiders do some research on the sub0-division of Rosedale Park the people from Detroit already know what that area is like...

Preach my brotha. Since you are doing things in the city on the real estate tip we might need to chat via PM...

There is just NO EXCUSE for little crack baby bastards acting up and destroying other Black Folks hard earned blood & sweat, pride & joy.

uh..lets not forget the grown adults who gave birth to them, and the apathetic community of mostly adults, who nurtured this behavior. it didnt come out of thin air. grown folks like to put themselves out of the equation, but they also share some of the blame for what we see now.

if this city is so dead end.. why is it that all the property is getting bought up by white people... why is it that the white man is constantly building up downtown detroit... why is it that the white man is paying money to construct a 2nd bridge to Canada... what major city has 3 casinos that are making money on the scale of the Vegas casinos... these white people arent putting money into something that they think they will lose money on.. why because Detroit is going to be a major port city in the country... you doubt me.. Detroit is the only US city that has access to all 5 great lakes... if you go downtown you still see major commerce traveling up and down the Detroit River daily... they are building new piers downtown just for traffic to stop here... they want the blacks to move out... so the whites can move back in... they see the gold mine that is going to strike and when it does they want first crack at it... its all systematic and if people stop looking at what is printed and spewed on the news and really do some research they will not be falling for this okie doke... reason why I am closing on 3 houses in Rosedale Park... for you outsiders do some research on the sub0-division of Rosedale Park the people from Detroit already know what that area is like...

Thank you for showing everyone the real deal. White folks don't make "sucker bets" they want Detroit back bad. I've been beat out on a bunch of homes by mysterious cash offers.If they have their way you won't be able to set foot in Detroit unless you're serving someone white.

uh..lets not forget the grown adults who gave birth to them, and the apathetic community of mostly adults, who nurtured this behavior. it didnt come out of thin air. grown folks like to put themselves out of the equation, but they also share some of the blame for what we see now.

for sure. and some folks like to absolve themselves of any responsibility thinking that blaming whitey is the solution to everything...

if WE took care of our shit maybe this would not be happening. property values are as low as they are in part because WE are not taking care of it.

no, i am the type that learned early on that each one should teach one.

if not for the BLACK mentors, teachers, scoutmasters, neighbors, professors, coaches, administrators and friends that i had/have i would not be in a position to do what i do today.

i learned at an early age that how you are raised and who you are raised by has alot more to do with what type of adult you become.

you can continue to ATTEMPT to skew the argument all you want to. but each individual makes a decision to live in filth and deplorable conditions.

my parents and LEADERS taught me to respect my surroundings. they taught me to respect other people. whitey isn't keeping me from doing that.

having a victim mentality is where alot of detroiters get stuck. have some pride about yourself and where you live. clean up your neighborhood. take your ass to school and learn. and if the school isn't up to par get some books and learn your damn self.

white folks are most scared of intelligent black people that can fend for themselves.

want to get whitey out of detroit???

then get educated. have some pride and integrity. get organized and make it happen.

but if you truly want a great detroit it will take people of all races and creeds to come together and make it happen.

I understand what you are saying but then you use the honkey vocabulary with the racial slurs and terms like "victim mentality" to refer to Detroiters. That undermines your post because that is precisely the BS whites say. It is unoriginal and tired.

How can you say that you are such a success and then turn around and use slave language like the N-bomb to refer to other Detroiters?

The 1967 Revolution did not happen by accident. It wasn't because whites are so nice and good and decent.

Why is that so hard for you to accept?

I find it amazing you can look at the blight, the foreclosures, the unemployment, the bailouts, the suburbs, the malls, and say whites have nothing to do with Detroit's struggles?

You keep trying to blame a few bad people in Detroit as if they represent the whole city. You keep trying to blame the knuckleheads as if they control the city. You keep trying to blame the poor, the powerless, and the desperate as if they control the direction of the city.

Well, if you want to do that, then Detroit has no future for you. You will keep blaming the victim while supporting the perpetrator. Since too many Detroiters see through this propaganda, you won't find very many supporters.

So take your so-called contributions and get the hell out! Who needs or wants that kind of help?

if WE took care of our shit maybe this would not be happening. property values are as low as they are in part because WE are not taking care of it.

You need to learn something about economics, if you think low prices are a bad thing.

cruise,

what is lost on you is the generational ignorance that some detroiters wallow in.

there is a difference between niggas and black folks. some of these niggas out here don't give a damn about what either one of us are talking about. and there is a high concentration of them in the city. they don't give a fuck. i can't help and wont try to help those who don't give a fuck.

this blame whitey shit is old. by now many blacks could have their own shit. but if they are sitting back waiting on whitey to do something they will get nothing but bed sores on their asses. if black folks don't want 'whitey' to take detroit then what are they going to do about it. let the city continue to deteriorate so property values fall even lower.

taxes are high because 900,000 people cant support an infrastruture built for 2,000,000.

insurance is high because niggas steal and destroy.

and black folks are not niggas. when you see a whole neighborhood of fucked up houses and there is one house that is maintained. it usually means that there are some black folks living in a neighborhood surrounded by niggas.

i know a nigga when i see one. and when i see black folks i don't see niggas.

also, i don't know why you think suburbia is all of that. they are dealing with the same issues that detroit is dealing with. foreclosures, school closures, loss of tax revenue, etc.....

low prices ARE a bad thing if you own that property.

yes it is a buyers market right now. my cousin bought a 400,000 house in farmington hills for 180,000 not too long ago. i am sure the seller would have preferred the 400,000.
