Rollin Detroit: Gangs, drug dealers, decline of the economy
Once upon a time, Detroit was the heart of the American Dream. Good jobs, big cars, and the world's most profitable companies placed the city at the heart of the global economy. But as this empire of cars began to crumble and the jobs evaporated, Detroit became the crime capital of America, and a new business, illegal drugs, took over the economy. Now the city lies in shambles: Detroit is the poorest and most violent major city in America. The heart of the American Dream has been shattered. From corrupt narcotics cop Henry Marzett to the infamous Young Boys Inc, White Boy Rick, and the Best Friends Murder for Hire gang: see the Kingpins and Killers that called Detroit home and became the Henry Fords and Lee Iacoccas of a new generation. What happens when the Ceo's and Politicians fail in their plans? It's called DETROIT.
Lose purpose, focus, no engagement in an institution, high school, college, unemployed.
Change your culture. Change your neighborhood. Because when you go back, you go back to the same dirt. Morale in the city is very low.
"Everyone is desperate."
Snowball effect of there not being a real economy in the city. By the time they're 19, they've already ruined their lives.
People need to build Detroit, not tear it down anymore.
