Man. I be kinda obsessed with how places like B More and Philly looks visually. It's just so different from The D cause the majority of Detroit has residential streets with either brick houses or siding. But Detroit is more fukked up visually than all the shyt East of Michigan. We literally have blocks with ALL bandos of full blocks with no houses at all.
East Coast housing is just weird to me. Now, it's a lot of apartments here, but shyt will be on the corners of the residential house blocks, we don't have any areas that's dominated by apartments (outside of downtown and Highland Park and HP is still mostly street blocks with houses).
We ain't had a million residents since the 90's and Detroit is 91% black, we are around 600,000 residents and catching bout 350-500 bodies per year, nikkas here kill for anything. I hate that shyt, but it's a reality to me so we live on the edge at all times. I own property in different areas and where I stay at is fukked up now (use to be beautiful in the 90's) but my block is good, Google earth that shyt (East Warren and Devonshire 48224).
The Mid West is built so much different than the East Coast it's crazy, but nikkas are still on that tip in both places. Are we really just fukkin savages or did America place us in these areas to create poverty like living conditions
.
Now, nikkas on here that see me post knows that my fam has money, my OG has a nice ass crib off 13 mile and Hoover/Van Dyke in the burbs. She wants me to move out of the hood so bad but it's just my comfort zone. shyt, I got a full bedroom and big ass basement the size of 2 apartments at her house. Like literally, that shyt is fukkin huge. She would rather me live down there than stay in the city. That should tell u something. As a parent, u should want your kids to GTFO when they are grown

Dope thread though. Generic subject but it was followed by some dope replies. I fukks wit yall on here.
