I really don't appreciate these white and euro 'urban safari' ass videos examining urban decay and destruction of post industrial revolution black cities.
Gary is no different from parts of other major city (early 00s detroit, cleveland, pittsburgh, baltimore) which were built around a singular industry which went down. Gary is rough but its not INCREDIBLY UNIQUE in how or why it collapsed. The families which came up in 60s-early 80s Gary are very fortunate that they lived in a flourishing black city and their kids (ME) are probably doing very well in life.
fukk those exploitative videos in OP

People ain’t trying to live around nigggas. Even the many of Black people ain’t trying to live around too many Black people. Facts. Sad as shyt though.

Rust belt could make a comeback if state and fed governments really put money into developing them, maybe everybody and they mama wouldn’t try to move to la or atl
it's hard to describe, growing up in Gary, always felt safe - but you knew danger was around the corner. you often experienced it first hand... today's Gary ain't yesterdays Gary tho. completely different cultures
for the record. it used to feel safer going to see fam in Chicago back in the day then being in GI on the average day

Terrible reply especially to this topic
Hopefully they do one day, people are getting gentrified out of the major cities but I guess that’s what they want

That’s the obvious move but I don’t think they trying to pay that bill, they would rather keep things the same until everything falls apart
That’s one of the reasons why they just now trying to change the pipes across all cities because of flint, infrastructure would have to damn near collapse before anything is done

Is a waste of money the biggest cities in the regions have low col. money would be better off spent funding high speed rail between Chicago/mpls/Detroit. the Midwest population should simply relocate to these places.

What will they do for a job? Those places mentioned have nearly all the big companies in the region.
A decent number of Gary transplants end up in my state (TN), everyone I met from that city was cool and real as fukk
