In the 1950's Detroit was one of the fastest growing cities in USA - a place where the car industry was growing, and where families were moving to, to live the American Dream. Ever since the late 1950's, the car industry has gone down, and the population on once more than 2 million people is now around 800.000. It is the most dangerous city in USA, with an average 1 murder each day. One in every 55 person is homeless, and there are more than 35.000 empty abandoned houses and buildings left. Still, people live there in the empty neighborhoods - and some take advantage of the many empty houses and buildings, or find other ways to live.
