A Google Street view history of Detroit.

The castle literally soaked up all the life from those houses to get younger 💀

"They took our entire street! Can't have shit in Detroit"

“Castle good. House and neighborhood bad. Get a castle next time.”

I live near Detroit. Its sad man. When I was a kid I would cry about all the burnt and abandoned houses

[astro]

"Not on my block" takes entire block with him

[totallynotjaye]

Took “Can’t have shii in Detroit” to a whole nother level💀

[dewitt]

“I thought this was a sad story of just one house” Nah bro that’s the whole city

[rumplestiltskin]

Interesting fact: although many houses in Detroit continue to be abandoned, many larger houses, mansions, apartments and skyscrapers are actually being restored.

"I know you guys lost all your homes but look at this castle we rebuilt"

"Fair enough"

[garrettgarner]

I was gonna make a “cant have shit in Detroit” joke but like most things left unattended in that city, it was stolen from me.

[ben_p]

Damn they took "can't have shit in Detroit" to another level

[moe]

Lol yea, as someone who grew up in Detroit when you started talking about that first house I was like “man that happens to whole blocks or half a county even”

[compdude]

Obv, the solution is to build more castles /s

This isn't just "after the recession."
This is Detroit since the 90s.

[youngrozay]

The sad thing is that this has been going on in Detroit since the 50s - 60s

[doomakarn]

"Can't *have* Detroit."

[Dr_Castle]

"They took the fricking town!"
Can't have shit in detroit

[nahim-gd]

“They stole the grass! Can’t have shit Detroit”

[stanable]

It’s almost like they lost most of their core employer due to outsourcing which led to a 60 year decline that still hangs over the area.

I hate seeing that. I miss my childhood home. I thought the house I grew up in was a place I'd get to go my whole life. My initials are in the foundation. My parents got a divorce like ten years ago, and sold it. All those houses, people spent Christmases in those living rooms, and kids sat in front of the NES on a "huge" 30" screen in those houses, had their heights marked on door frames. All sorts of people wish they could have a home like those. The American Dream happened on those streets. It's as dead of a burnt out husk as all those ruins.
