Yes. Make more. Don’t give up. Sorry you didn’t win. Your reporting was spot on. I’m born and raised here and I used to be proud to say I was from here. Not so much anymore. But for sure the RR closing the shops and Kaiser and Norton shutting down all in the same decade I believe, left a huge hole. Also corruption within the city government doesn’t help. Great job you did here.
I love San Bernardino born and raised 1974 Beautiful location panoramic mountain view great weather and real people good hard working people living in a American city that needs help.
Born and raised on the Westside. More East Indians and Chinese are moving in. Something I have never seen before. When you see a guy with a Turban jogging down Meridan you know things are about to change drastically.
Interesting... I wonder why. I do get the feeling it's going to be a different place in the next 20 years. Just need some good leadership with better ideas.
I stay in the county of san Bernardino , this county has so much potential, sadly my experience is been inside the courthouse they make soo difficult they Wana take you home from u doing some crooked stuff , look at the sheriff coroner almost half a million dollars it's his check
A couple of years ago, I went to San Bernardino to check out a used car at a car lot. I was shocked at the condition of the business area and homeless people sleeping in broad daylight on the sidewalks. I was stationed at March AFB in Riverside in 1969-70 and visited people I knew in San Bernardino and it was a pretty nice town back then. The people I visited were friends with the Hells Angels but still it wasn't as bad as it is today!
Lived there for many years, had many good times, but the writing was on the walls in the 80's,...got out and never looked back. Too sad , it was a good place. 🙏
I am a 71.5 year old white male for point of reference. My two grandmothers lived in San Bernardino and I spent a lot of time there when I was growing up (50’s through the mid 70’s). Even 60 years ago there wasn’t a whole lot to recommend San Berdo. It was a crummy blue collar town on the edge of the desert with very poor air quality. There were like no good restaurants to eat at - it was a good thing that one of my grandmothers was a good cook. But it wasn’t nearly as bad back in my childhood as it is now. There was also nothing to do in SB when I was a kid there visiting my grandmothers. I don’t think my parents liked going there but since their widowed mothers lived there they had to put in a couple of appearances every year. IMO the best thing to do for SB is to demolish it and return it to the desert. As bad as it is now it’s only going to get worse.
Railroad companies (UP/SP and BNSF) certainly did NOT shut down. Both corporations are very strong providers of freight transportation throughout the Western half of the USA. SP's Colton Repair Shop is still operational although ATSF once had a huge locomotive repair facility in San Bernardino. Locomotives are much better made now and don't need nearly as much attention/repair. There is A LOT of intermodal activity, but these are mostly crane operators and truck drivers.
Beaumont is bad too and banning is horrible people got killed right next door to my house and they found a kid hog tied in a closet in the summer. Also a dude got killed in front of my place, I couldn’t even go to the store cuz they didn’t want us to tamper with the crime scene. All bad
I think we should turn one of these big cities get into the big holding areas for all the fullness within many many states around it. I don’t think anybody would like that idea of fencing it all in, but it should be a gated area equipped with everything from medical to all infrastructure needed to support the homeless. This city has been vacant all these years then let’s get it a millionaire in there with other investors and turn it all around into something productive. It looks like we’ll see all the infrastructure there. Also, we need to first get rid of all the people that were involved with bad decisions which ended up turning this town or county do a bunch of rubbish, dumps, drug addicts, etc. etc. this is America. You can turn this place your eyes.
I am from Southern California and i have a lot of family that live there still and I'm doing all I can to get them to move north when ever i travel South in California i feel depressed and for some reason i tend to get sick whenever i travel North I'm happy and i feel good i love Northern California i will never move back to Southern California
Depends where you go in NorCal. SF and Oakland are genuinely dystopian in some areas. Got attacked out there earlier this year. But there are some fantastic places up there
My nephew went to Pittsburgh to catch a Penguins game and was a but surprised by how things look in that city. Then again he's a Canadian farm kid so pretty much any city would be a shock to him.
You're 100% correct. I grew up in Fontana. Cholos, bloods, and crips started moving in during the early 80s. A lot of people believe this was caused by HUD homes.
San Bernardino has so much potential to rise, but it starts with community investment! We need strong leaders to guide change, “prayer spaces” for “spiritual growth” wide running and walking trails, renewable energy for brighter streets, and better pay for security to enhance safety. Easier CCW classes, and imagine a tramway to Crestline, we can create a brighter future for our city.
Dude totally agree. It has HUGE potential. It's neighbor Redlands is one of my favorite places in the IE because of those things you mentioned. Safe, clean, good community, residents who give a shit.
So this was for a contest (I didn't win) should I make more?
Yes. Make more. Don’t give up. Sorry you didn’t win. Your reporting was spot on. I’m born and raised here and I used to be proud to say I was from here. Not so much anymore. But for sure the RR closing the shops and Kaiser and Norton shutting down all in the same decade I believe, left a huge hole. Also corruption within the city government doesn’t help.

Ya man the Turbines are comin
Great video. Sad to see a city that could flourish being held back
I live there in the 60s and 70s it wasn't no better than than it is now

San Bernardino has no future 😮
Doesn't stop people from moving here.

The city can't even get cops to apply for the force here.
I had to drive here to buy my truck and I couldn’t wait to get the fuck out.
I remember going there in the early 80’s , i lived in Escondido . Seems alot different

I’ll be the one that fixes San Bernardino.
Wow, the savior himself
You should say ALL OF CALIFORNIA...here is the problem this area use to be a good place until they opened up to Section 8 housing

What happens when the capitalists take the jobs to their overseas corporate colonies.

San Bernardino is a city in southern California. There. Sad story over. All you need to know.

San Bernardino in the late sixty's and early seventies was only a little better! I lived right next door in Colton. It sucked too!

A great Zappa song😏
Nice weather though 😊
LOOKS LIKE PITTSBURGH PA DOWNTOWN,😢
My nephew went to Pittsburgh to catch a Penguins game and was a but surprised by how things look in that city. Then again he's a Canadian farm kid so pretty much any city would be a shock to him.
Pittsburgh is a day at the beach compared to San Bernardino, Oakland, Baltimore etc..
The dirty Dino is the Detroit of tomorrow.
He speaking the truth
Too many non-tax payers.
Drug use equals homeless.
Homeless equals break ins to buildings.
The more Greed the more homeless
Yessir i lived here sucks now but back in the day poppin hahah
Dino 💪🏼
San Bernardino is coming back. But most of the people here will be pushed out. Not pretty but that's just part of the life cycle.
Lol... at 4 min, they took a clip of my friend Bill at the St Bernadine apartments off 5th st
A lot of homelessness gangsters they leave eastern los angeles
You're 100% correct. I grew up in Fontana. Cholos, bloods, and crips started moving in during the early 80s. A lot of people believe this was caused by HUD homes.
Vote Republican.
Pitiful !!
Oh man, even with one arm in a sling still over does the hand gestures. Can't watch.
Shut up

I think of Democrat voters.
