I remember walking these streets as a kid. Playing in the abondon lots and on the roofs. Living in an abandon building. All the empty vials, baggies, and syringes on the floor! Its way better these days then it was before. There are other places in the country that have similar condition's l. Camden nj and parts of Baltimore that ive personally seen.
i know modern day NYC is not without its problems but damn back in the 80's the trajectory of New York was very bleak. Barely avoiding bankruptcy, rampant crime, along with many other growing problems its mind blowing how much can change in a few decades. New York City was down but it wasn't out
There's almost no video of Bushwick, Brownsville and East New York in the 70s and early 80s but if there was it would be an equal to these streets. Brooklyn was crumbling too.
Yep. I grew up in Bergen Beach in the 80’s. The other side of Brooklyn was scary, like red hook. My dad owned a butcher store in Crown Heights from the early 70’s to 2000. He was the only white guy in the area back then. I used to go to the store when I was a little kid in the late 70’s and remember kicking around the saw dust on the floor
É sim,tá igualzinho.... Não aguento mais andar desviando de escombros de prédios objetos de fraude de seguro Pelamor véi,é totalmente diferente a situação O problema de SP é saúde publica O problema de NY era a miscigenação e a fraude fiscal
My dad was a building inspector in the 70's and 80's. His company sent him to the Bronx and he had quite a few stories, lol. Looks like Detroit, doesn't it?
You know I have to give Mayor Mike Duggan credit for actually cleaning up old Detroit neighborhoods where houses were just left vacant and decay. I'm a Republican and for him being a Democrat he actually did his job. Him and Cheif James Craig were like a dynamic duo during the "Summer of Love" Riots to control the violence
thats the same thing i've been saying about NYC as a whole. People think they're better off in the PJs because some random got shot in the next building over. Meanwhile the chances of being k!IIed is like 1 in 1 12,000. Those are VERY low numbers.
NYC had a much higher violent crime rate in the 70s and early 80s than today. The city was truly dangerous, scary and depressing then. The song from that era that represents NYC the most is "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty which was hugely popular in 1978. A song full of fear and melancholy from a fearful and melancholy era. No wonder Gen X'ers growing up in that era turned out to be pissed off & angry at the world.
Got any vintage of Atlantic City, NJ? I remember being bad, but that shit is absolutely insane. Those massive dilapidated brick buildings and just earth and ruins between them.
They were standing,gutted and inhabitable and were falling from the inside. Then eventually elements took over and I guess the mayor saw yi finally. They debris was finally picked up by 1986.
Redlining , Corrupt government , bad politics, neglect & failed policy , Terrible Healthcare ,Poor Education system , deplorable Living conditions , Lack of jobs , Low economic opportunities, Crack epidemic .. etc…. A lot happened…
Absolute amazing to see this. Its like a alternate Reality. Were are all the kids today? They should be not that old. Born 1976 in east germany and its the same thing. It look like a different World if i see pictures today from that time, but still remember everything. I am 46 now, so not to old also. So were they are..i want to see interviews
Wow that brings back lots of memories . it’s sad though because these images of abandoned buildings and open lots and Junk cars was what I remembered as a child growing up in the south Bronx.
At the time I was living in New England and going to college in Miami (1979-83) and The Bronx not only resembled Warsaw, Berlin, and other European cities in 1945, it was also the most dangerous county-level area in the country as shown in movies like The Hijacking of Pelham 1-2-3, Fort Apache The Bronx, and The Warriors. The Bronx was one reason why I didn't even think about attending Fordham University - I would have been stuck on campus.
Yes sir I live through all that South Bronx Puerto Rican kid right here I seen it all brings back memories good and bad but the Bronx has really changed from then to now in 2024.
They weren't fixing sht and " accidently" burning the building. Just like that daggone scene in Batteries not included or the People under the stairs. Forcing law abiding citizens strife and then moving everyone else to Brooklyn,Queen s, and Staten Island. Pushing half of Manhattan children out of the boro High schools. I'm glad I moved and I didn't dare have a kid in this dump.
I grew up in Bronx in early 2000s. Wasn’t broken down, but def still super gangster for real. Shit kinda died down now, just a bunch of drill rappers killing each other
City was bankrupt with a huge debt, feds stepped in to help with loans and segregation of neighborhoods which led to all time lows in property value. Landlords tried to collect insurance money by hiring gang members to burn down old and neglected buildings still owned by the Irish,German and other white communities who left for the suburbs in the post war era. Everyone felt it but the Hispanic communities took the biggest blow because they were the newly arrived and had to live innit. That's probably why some people in the mob circles always talked about looking out for their own community because things were really segregated in those days.
This was mostly due to the epidemic the city was facing with fire burning. As building owners and landlords financially broke and strapped for cash, figured they could collect on insurance after burning their buildings down. Once word of the financial boon from such actions went out, despite illegal, more and more landlords began doing as such. the city itself was broke, undergoing a change that would culminate into the banking and housing boon of the mid to late 80's. Too many cops too many pensions and not enough people making decent wages.
How can anyone respect themselves and the area they live in when it’s in this sort of mess. The people in this area must have no hope and little to no respect for their government for letting this happen to their neighbourhood. America is rich and the land of opportunity, I don’t see any of that in this picture.
A lot of this happened when home owners burned down there houses and collected the insurance money.. ironically around the time Spanish and black people started moving in
in the words of another commenter, "Redlining, Corrupt government, bad politics, neglect & failed policy, Terrible Healthcare, Poor Education system, deplorable Living conditions, Lack of jobs, Low economic opportunities, Crack epidemic.. etc...." besides, the government isn't as good as you think it is.

Думаю, что в 80е не напрягаясь можно было найти и в СССР немало таких мест, даже в Москве. Так что не все так однозначно... Хотя в кино нам показывали, что там рай и все живут в собственных двухэтажных особняках и ездят на роскошных кадиллаках.
