Detroit's downtown is a complete turnaround and a massive upgrade today. There was time where the neighborhoods of Detroit were thriving but downtown was a wreck. Now it's the opposite.
In my entire life I have never seem such a resurgence in the city as what's going on now. Its truly amazing and I am kicking myself for not buying rock bottom real estate. Midtown has made a huge resurgence and the is construction everywhere you look. But just like any city stray into the hood areas and the result won't be much different.
Detroit was a vibrant industrial city until the decline starting in the 60's. While I don't know the historical comparison to the 20's but it was on par with other major cities. FYI the depression did not technically occur until 1929.

Been learning a lot about Henry Ford and how Detroit was booming before and after the depression
Was shocked how bad it was in Detroit during the depression
It made a nice rebound
You guy's think Detroit will bounce back ?
I've watched some vloggers about Detroit showing some promise in certain sections of town
Basicly im trying to compare Detroit in the great depression with the great recession in Detroit
