upvote because I pretty much live in Ypsilanti (ip-suh-LAN-tee) , but....


its not a state, kiddo.

Thanks for the up votes, i hope to see this video on top sifts! More people need to know about how detroit use to be a promising city.

Fantastic documentary. I especially like the section towards the end dabbling on the DIY tip; creating community gardens and replanting for a more positive and compassionate America. Their is still hope in farming, if more urban areas grow within their confines this would bring the power back to the people. It brings prosperity and healthy living to communities.

A good example of this is a coop grocer in my neighbor. Workers make all decisions, are paid well and make handsome annual bonuses to the point that workers are able to purchase fuel efficient vehicles and homes in one of the nations most expensive locations. Not only is good for workers and communities but it is good for the planet since farmers grow organically and the produce isn't trucked in from long distances. Fuck the corporations; we need to rebuild America and the philosophies of our two party system will NEVER get us to where most living/breathing human beings want to be.

Lived in and around Detroit for my first 23 years.

I raved in many of those buildings they show (including the packard plant and the abandoned train station) and lived on a block where 3 out of 24 houses were habitable.

Thanks for posting this.

That's strange. I've used that Russian site before without any problems.>> ^GDGD:

That's too bad. It's a great documentary and that Russian host is the only one that seems to have it.
