What do people in Chicago really think about Detroit?

Daily Detroit hit the streets of Chicago to ask people what they think about Detroit. We welcome everyone's opinion, but to the last guy in the video? He's definitely got it all wrong.

Lol, I love Detroit! The people from there are good people and they have character! Something I don't see here in LA or DC.

How about asking people from the chicago housing projects what they think about detroit?

[notsure]

the old dude says all he knows about Detroit is Eminem. He's saying he didn't grow up with Motown?

Canadian here. I am across from the Detroit Skyline. For Concerts, Hockey & shopping, I cross to go over there.
Driving through Detroit; honestly, I initially see beautiful city buildings but as you go deeper into the city there are so many vacant, over grown lots. Easily visible too are what were once grand homes and buildings that have sadly become dilapidated and left standing to rot. Years pass by but condemned properties don’t seem to get torn down. As you drive through residential streets, there are random houses with windows boarded up, trash left in empty lots, and areas that scream ‘hard times’ and ‘struggle’.
Except for investment, I don’t know what else it would take to help bring the residential areas back to a time when jobs paid a decent, living wage for people and families no longer felt like ‘surviving’ had to feel like the norm.

Detroit far better, more innovative and impacting to the world

[LeekStackhouse]

They don't what the hell they're talking about lol says the guy from Detroit

[distraughtxxx]

Lmfaoooo Eminem did represent us though.

[RCMPoui]

It’s not even a comparison. Detroit will always be in my heart but Chicago is a true world class city... Light years ahead of Detroit.

Shout out to the Mid West, Chicago, Detroit and Indianapolis really kind hearted people, as far as Detroit the people have a lot character, a dewalt kit and building material can change house which in return can change a neighborhood which can change a city

[lynetterice]

People in Chicago LOVE to honk their frickin horns!!! Omg!

[mzleelee]

At 1:33 I thought that was Downtown detroit

[earnestrobinson]

Does Detroit get equal time to critique Chicago?

[ryanscott]

Who cares about what they think about Detroit

[trillythagr]

0:34 I like the guy who says he never been there, but it's a shitty place

[masaireddick]

If you want your dreams to come true come to Detroit

[lucylucy]

We don’t like it. Whoever said it was lying

[MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia]

The guy said he never have been to Detroit yet he act like he knows all about it. Truth -Detroit is now thriving, especially their downtown and Chicago is now dying. Detroit also has their economy in order now where Chicago economy is out of order with a lot of corruption and super high city taxes. Detroit is also artsy and innovative. Wait until 2023 Chicago.. by then the largest bridge in America would have been completed in detroit, one of the largest skyscrapers in the Midwest and the Silicon Valley Ford ( worlds largest former train station) would be completed.

Michigan governor arrested Detroits former mayor and cleaned up the city while Chicago let the Daily machine and their former crooked governors destroy theirs. Whole crime continues to decrease substantially in detroit, according to the fbi, , it continues to increase substantially in Chicago.

Chicago people also in denial. I went through tons of neighborhoods in Chicago of abandon homes, scary places and piles of trash in the streets etc. let’s be frank Chicago people. Even Detroit’s international airport is better...

[derrckscott]

I just wanna know where the fuck you can get a house for a dollar
