A World Without Us is a pretty cool book, basically most modern style wood frame buildings only last around 50 years.

katlington posted:Im only familiar with robocop 2, demolition man and its always sunny in philadelphia. How does Philly stack up to Detroit? Philadelphia is pretty awesome. The last 20-30 years have seen many neighborhoods gentrified and multiple skyscrapers built. They just got approval to start building this, which will be the eighth tallest building in the US: There's always a few up and coming neighborhoods being rebuilt when the gentrified ones become too expensive. Like any big city, there are still a lot of poor areas that can be dangerous, but they are pretty easy to avoid. Unless of course you go to university here: most of the universities are in pretty bad areas. NotWearingPants fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jul 8, 2014 |

People asking about concealed carry and stand your ground laws are getting it all wrong; "laws" imply someone will hold you to task if you break them, which doesn't apply here. loving blast that fool and hide him in the crawlspace of one of the derelict houses on your street - ain't no-one gonna give a gently caress, least of all the cops.

Xaris posted:i don't have a big enough cock to compete with all the big black dickin' they get Look at this guy underestimating the level of racism present in Michigan... Seriously though, the city has been actively changing recently, and it's very weird. All my life Detroit's been either this wasted urban sprawl, or else you're on Woodward Ave where all the fancy stuff is and the white folk feel comfortable visiting. Recently though, all these hipster art types have been moving in and acting like the city is some undiscovered gem instead of the moldy turd it has been for some time, putting on shows in derelict factories and acting like they're so hard because of it. That giant graffiti at the city entrance someone mentioned earlier itt I'm almost sure was the Russel Industrial Center which is considered one of the nicer art galleries in town. It all reeks of pitiful delusion that's going to come crashing down into reality one of these days. (Total Michigoon honeypot thread here, btw)

Secks Cauldron posted:I read a magazine article which applied that to NYC once. The subways would flood completely within weeks and the only buildings left standing after a few decades would basically be old stone construction like St Paul's. Yeah basically NYC was built over multiple rivers and depends on electric power to pump out all the underground water. NYC is a interesting case of city that had the standard urban decay story but came back due to inherent strengths such as having a good location/diverse economy.

I was in Detroit all day today for business. Its like a bigger Cleveland. Busy and decent downtown center, absolute blight and horror surrounding it, countless ancient factories and warehouses left abandoned for decades or even outright crumbling, houses the same, drive 10-20 miles in any direction and you're back to normal civilization. Just like Cleveland only bigger since Detroit is what, like 1/5th the size it was when it was a top 4? city in population.
