lol
>>51987562
does it really look like that? i dont belive you
>>51987562
worse in what metric?
if it's the poorest one, it's a fishing village in the amazon river, replacing with detroit will make it more violent and full of nigs. But all those buildings, they will be the tallest buildings of Pará state I suppose.
>>51987562
There are a ton of towns and cities in the states worse than Detroit, they just didn't get to be memes on 4chan.
That being said Detroit is still way worse than the worst cities in my country.
>>51987847
Pop quiz: Syria, or Detroit, Michigan?
>>51987562
always wondered where the Addams family lived
>>51987562
>Lumberton, NC is replaced by Detroit
Like pissing in an ocean of piss
>>51988022
I'd say Detroit after welcoming Syrian refugees
Wtf, Serbia after bombing looked better than that
>>51987562
I like it, looks like fallout series, walking dead or other apocalyptic scenary
>>51988022
Detroit. I saw it in Röyksopp's music video. Anyway, how can a country where Detroit isn't even the worst city there is, consider itself in any possible way a wealthy, first world nation and a good place to live? How fucking deluded are Americans?
Take Birmingham, arguably the worst shithole of a major city in the UK and it's still nothing compared to this.
>>51988258
I'm surprised I hardly see any movies taking place there
>>51988274
Once, America was great.
>>51988343
too dangerous for filming
>Teresina or São Luís
It'd get worse I think.
>>51987562
>Marseilles
Nothing really changes. Housing become more cheaper, it's all.
>>51988274
>Shitloads of abandoned buildings
>Roving packs of feral dogs
>Little to no government help or assistance including police, ambulance, and firefighters
>People paroling the streets in armed militias, or hiring mercenaries for protection
>People stripping the copper and metal from buildings to sell
It's literally a post-apocalyptic RPG
I'd change Detroit for Toluca, and owe you guys a chunk of clay
>>51987562
>Daugavpils is replaced with Detroit
At least it will have the status of a has been.
Now it just sucks because it is the only city in latvia where latvians are a massive minority.
>>51987847
Yeah. A lot of Detroit looks like that
Mostly because it's abandoned. No one(except maybe homeless) lives in the really fucked up looking parts
>>51987562
>Pick the worst city in your country
I'll let you pick instead:
Acapulco
Culiacán
Ciudad Juárez
Obregón
Nuevo Laredo
Victoria
Chihuahua
Tijuana
Torreón
Cuernavaca
You replace a couple of starving sugar cane producers that earn less than 20$ a month with a city where these companies are headquarted in:
>GM
>Buick
>Kmart
>Chevrolet
>Avis
>Hummer
>Little Caesars
What do you think?
>>51988274
>how can a country where Detroit isn't even the worst city there is, consider itself in any possible way a wealthy, first world nation and a good place to live?
Because we have the best universities and hospitals in the world? We have some of the most recent technology, best luxuries, and highest standards available? Not many people live in detroit senpai.
1 bad city does not make a country bad. Just like 1 good city doesn't make a country the best.
>>51988476
sauce on the comic plox
>>51987562
Unimaginably worse.
More American city hate:

Good universities and healthcare are literally symbols of privilege in your country.
>We have some of the most recent technology, best luxuries,
So do we. We've got the exact same shit, global market after all.
> highest standards available?
Highest standards of what exactly?
Better
>>51988668
100 bullets
how old is that pic?
>>51988274
It's literally just the city of Detroit that's bad, literally anybody with money has been leaving it since the 70s and even before then it was a shithole.
>>51989197
Belgrade has twice the population of Detroit, what in the actual fuck?
>>51987562
I would change Detroit for Brasília.
It's better some niggers selling crack and shooting each other than some politicians selling cocaine and fucking the whole country.
>>51989316
Yeah but the metropolitan area of detroit has of 3 times as many people as Belgrade, pretty much everybody who wasn't living in poverty got the fuck out of Detroit after the 70s and moved to the suburbs.
>>51987562
Detroit is probably the worst city in the first world m8, no offense tbph
>>51987562
>tfw no expert mode
also doesn't matter what city you pick, detroit will always be worse
>>51988274
Detroit is an abandoned city. Should we force people to inhabit it even if they don't want to?
Fuck off with that nonsense, people have free will to do as they please.
>>51989620
Tbf if it wasn't for the 1 million threshold, we'd have plenty to offer: Luton, Slough, Hull etc.
>>51988953
I'm gonna guess 2011, or sometime after the housing crisis.
>>51988841
Only 13 percent of Americans are without health coverage, and often you can negotiate the cost of your medical bills down significantly if you don't have health insurance.
Literally all companies offer health and dental benefits. Companies need to compete for talent, would you consider working for a company that doesn't provide basic benefits such as health and dental coverage?
Detroit is gentrifying, in 5 or 10 years it will cost $2K for a studio and only be inhabited by 'liberal white hipsters'
Pick any city in the Midwest, and it's in the same class as Detroit. Most of those cities thrived when the US was an industrial and manufacturing powerhouse. Now that we're a service economy those jobs just left.
>>51989741
All of those places are poor and dangerous, but nowhere near as poor and dangerous at detroit pham
It looks like a nuke went off
Literally the only stores still open in the most fucked up suburbs are liquor stores, MacDonalds and gun stores
>>51987562
I live there.
>>51988274
Well, for starters, the US is a large country, and each city and state differs from the next. All have their own set of problems and their own (dare I say it) culture. One bad city isn't an accurate representation of the United States... it isn't even an accurate representation of Michigan for fucks sake. And believe it or not, people from Detroit are proud of where they come from and care more about their city than the people running it. Get fucked Brit
>>51990206
That's never going to happen anywhere in the Midwest, you can get apartments on the Chicago coast for under 2k, only rubes move to the big midwestern cities
>>51991050
True, the midwest is still undesirable and subject to sprawl like everywhere else without geographic and topological boundaries.
>>51990626
Are you saying Ed is a shithole?
Id say its winnipeg or toronto
Also castledowns here
>>51987562
>>51991220
Toronto is the 4th best city in North American tho
>>51991277
Okay, it's been photoshopped. Here is a real picture.
>>51988022
Has anyone played Manhunt?
It takes place in Carson City wich is inspired by Detroit.
>>51991459
Fail it's Carcer City*
>>51991331
UUUU
Every Russian city of course.
>>51987562
Better. Much better.
>>51988476
I've only been to Tiajuana but I can't imagine Detroit smelling as bad as Tiajuana.
>>51992691
Have you ever been to Bangalore?
>>51993043
Nope but Bangalore isn't in U.S. or Mexico.
>>51989755
is it really that bad?
>>51993135
Yes, it's an Indian shithole. Also this is the "Indian silicon valley" too. You just mentioned the smell and I remembered that hole.
>>51991459
The best part about Carcer City is that it's in the GTA universe, and is constantly shit on as being "Worse than Liberty City" which is a fucking feat in being a shitty city.
>>51988437
still better than Napoli
Better.
I can't pinpoint our worst city exactly, but Detroid would be better in any case, just because of General Motors alone
Nothing could be worse than the Bronx in the 70's.
>>51993339
I miss the radio of the ps2 GTA generation. The newest games had shit tier radio compared to the old ones.
>replacing Berlin with Detroit
>rents are super cheap again
Party like it's 1986
>>51994823
It's not. I'm not denying that Naples is a shithole filled with dickheads, but it's better than fucking Detroit that's for sure. At least it has plenty of beautiful monuments and a sweet cuisine, I'm pretty sure Detroit has neither of them.
>>51987847
It does. When I drive through Detroit to visit my parents, if I'm taking one of my international friends from college back with me, I tell them to look out the window. I say "If you ever wonder how bad it gets here, this is pretty much as bad as it gets." What a shit hole.
>>51988022
Detroit, I've been there.
>>51988274
damn yuros sure are stupid
>Lisbon for Detroit
I don't know.
Detroit is filled with niggers but it has some whites to keep it afloat. Lisbon has moors AND it is filled with niggers.
>>51989620
San Francisco to Detroit is almost twice as far as Paris is to Moscow.
I will never know what it feels like look at Detroit with my very own eyes. I mean, why would I?
>>51996755
they want to kill the police?
>>51996686
That's a socialist, friend. It's what you people call liberals, but often 100 times worse.
>>51996929
No they claim police brutality all the time.
>Do shit around the city
>Police tries to stop you
>Resist arrest or escape
>Complain when the police hits you back and has to be rough
>Play the race card at least 99% of the time
And our police is pretty soft.
>>51997190
They should take lessons from BR or American police.
>>51989402
needs more jpg
>>51996755
>seriously comparing Lisbon with Detroit
I love this meme
>>51997409
It's worse maybe. Lisboa has a lol tier native population that loves everything niggers or arabs throw at them. It's a historical thing.
The number of shit started with "Al" is a reason.
Just check this wonderful video about a fantastic ride in the Lisbon metro.

>>51991220
It's winnipeg
It's just biker wars, meth addicts and alcoholic natives
Rotterdam
Of course Rotterdam is a million times better than detroit. Rotterdam actually functions.
>>51987562
Charleroi was picked as Europe's ugliest city, and rightly so. This is the most depressing place I've been to, pic related kinda shows the average main street in there. Dead brick houses, sub-average living standards and shitty weather all year. But holy shit OP, your pic almost makes me feel good about it.
>>52000361
>>52000397
The centre looks slightly less like crap though.
>>51993339
Yeah those where the good times.
>>51991050
I think detroit is one of the least gentrifying cities in the entire country
>>51987562
>yfw detroit is fallout irl
Detroit should be completly demolished so it can be used as a natural resource.
>>52000397
This is Fallout 4 tier.
It reminds me of that quest in which you have to kill the bandits in the factory in the beginning
>>52001058
Have you seen China? that shit is Fallout 5
>>52000740
certain neighborhoods are. the parts that people care about are night and day different than they were just 5 years ago and the white population has increased for the first time in decades
a lot of the hate against Detroit is justified, but a lot of it is not. it's hard to explain.
for instance, the neighborhood in the OP, Brush Park, already looks far different than that photo even though it's not that old of a photo. many houses have been demolished or rehabed, and a few huge developments are coming in.
