I'm watching this like, yep there's home...there's my gym...there's my job... And I've never had a real problem. Pittsburgh is an incredibly safe city. Run down as fuck, but the best people on the planet.
The neighborhoods in the City of Pittsburgh went downhill due to the loss of mill jobs. I have lived in Pittsburgh all my life, and I have watched a lot of transformation on different levels. Gentrification is a huge thing happening in the City of Pittsburgh, soon the neighborhoods featured in this video will be "revitalized" and will be nearly impossible for the original community members to afford live there. You see this happening on East Liberty now. Give it a few more years and go back there and video the neighborhood and see the change.
The same thing has happened in Baltimore once the industrial job left. I'm an active investor in here the whole city is being Gentrified the same way. Check out your master plan for the city on line so you can take advantage of its growth and transformation.
That's what happens when you let your city just sprawl out and property prices decline, no money to actually fix your roads regularly, it's becoming the norm in a lot of America tbh.
Let me tell ya about this place called Pakistan or some gloriously sewage smelling places in Iraq. Pitts got nothing on these places as far as metal awnings go. Lot more high powered large caliber firearms, and bombs too.
That's the Hill district. I drove A Port Authority bus there at night. And never had a problem. Although I do know there's been many murders up there. Now I wouldn't walk there at night.
@@bad-am3805 I don't mean getting killed. Some bus drivers throughout the city has trouble like crazy people spitting on you. Or people yelling and screaming at the driver. Even hitting the driver. But most people know and read the large/bright sign on the bus saying it a felony to touch a driver.
Pittsburgh is one of the best cities in the world to live in. I grew up there. This video just cruises around the streets of 1-2 neighborhoods outside the city. And these places went downhill because of the loss of mill jobs, not crime and neglect.
MILAN FERNANDEZ i feel u i lived on north lawrence n west berks but im from 7332 race out here. u may say that off of looks but i guarentee u that if u actually stayed here u would think twice about being on ya porch i promise u that. alot of people from philly come to job corps or other schools and are scared shitless out here. trust me this is a war zone out here and its very very dark at night
MILAN FERNANDEZ lies north philly has vacant lots and row houses that need a new painting south philly gentrification has it lookin nice pittsburgh is rough philly is just bigger
Matthew Mirowski obviously their isn’t anything going on in these videos lol it’s cold as hell so everyone inside also do you live in any of these hoods?? 🤔
I hope you didn't mess your car up because we got pot-holes the size of da Grand Canyon. I see you also drove past that dollar store in Wilkinsburg, where the young lady worked at, who got robbed and killed for her tax refund. RWG Keiauna Lynette Davis. Also in that same neighborhood a shooting massacre happened that claimed the lives of 6 ppl including an unborn baby. RWG to all the victims I mentioned. I know all of them had children and they will be missed.
That's really horrible and frustrates me. This is also a problem with poverty; the mentally deranged never get treated before it's too late (probably no education about it and can't afford treatment) and become criminals.
What kills me it when you have a $60+k car sitting outside of a house that’s barely standing and has tarps on the roof to “I assume” keep the car keys dry?
Ever hear of a Sheriffs sale auction when only 100 people show up. 2009 300 c 14, 000 miles one owner . Dirt cheap..Got there now you Get there and park a crispy Bentley in front of your double Wide trailer. MAGA boy.
@jfsfrnd well i would rather buy a car that cost less some of those cars look like 40k to 60k so you think they would buy a car for 15 to 20k and live in a better place
One thing people may fail to recognize from your video is that the ghettos in Pittsburgh do have a few random houses that are absolutely beautiful and well kept. Especially where they are at. Theres some really nice old Victorian style houses out that way.
Yea cause they cheap as hell to buy so dummies put money into them even tho good luck selling it, and get ready to pay for private school for your kids.
@@constantine9142 Certain parts like Lawrenceville are BOOMING.. You could've bought a shithole house there not long ago for nothing, and that same house is worth $400k now. It's insane, and as long as things keep booming it'll keep spreading.
@@MMGJ10 no thanks most people that work in the city before living in it, don't have to lie to themselves that it's awesome living in the city. Only college kids cause of school and parties, people that have lived there generations cause they are stuck and can't get out, and people like I described live there on purpose and have to lie to themselves it's great 😂. Me I'd rather use that same money on beautiful property in the middle of nowhere at one of the best school districts in the state and most with a choice will agree.
Heather Lacey Rae You are absolutely Gorgeous! Just saw your picture from a post 10 months ago about Pittsburgh! Hope you keep out of the crime ridden areas!
The Hill District first "Ghetto" is where I grew up. Had you gone a little further, you would have seen gentrification. Very beautiful.... Those "ghettos" are home to me and largely contribute to my success today :)
Hazelwood was my Ghetto as I was growing. Below the Tracks. Over the Bridge and people Above the Tracks wouldn't venture Down there unless they were Tight with someone who lived DOWN There.
These neighborhoods are not just streets and buildings. They are the People that live there, and Pittsburgh people are the best. To all the Pittsburgh bashers out there, I have just one thing to say. Go straight to Hell and kiss the devil's ass.
3:39 the white building with blue stripe is a good soul food joint in Wilkinsburg. The black and gold building across the street is a used tire shop. You’re about three miles from my house there.
Anybody actually from here with both street & book smarts could tell you this list: Eastside: Homewood, most of Wilkinsburg (borough), the East Hills Apts, Larimer, most of Lincoln-Lemington-[but not Belmar besides 7200 Everton St Homewood North Apts], what’s left of Garfield and what’s left of East Liberty bordering Larimer. Most of what’s left of the Hill District, part of what’s left of Uptown (around 5th Ave), part of West Oakland (by the Hill) and even what’s left of South Oakland Bottoms on 3200 Ward St/Frazier St (Central Pittsburgh). Northside: Northview Heights Estates, what’s left of Allegheny Dwellings (aka Belleau Drive), Spring Hill’s Three Rivers Manor (aka 2100 Rhine Street), Allegheny Commoms East Apts, most of Marshall-Shadeland inc. Woods Run, most parts of Perry Hilltop like Wilson Ave, Perrysville Ave & Charles Street Valley, part of California-Kirkbride around Brighton Pl & Morrison St, what’s left of Manchester and “Hoodtown” (Central Northside). South: Beltzhoover, Knoxville, what’s left of Arlington Heights, most of Mt. Oliver (borough), most of Allentown, part of Arlington, parts of Carrick, southeast Mt. Washington (by Beltzoover/Allentown) and formerly St. Clair Village. West: the “Greenway Apts” in Crafton Heights, most of Sheraden and Elliott, what’s left of Fairywood (formerly had Broadhead Manor & Westgate Village), most parts of McKees Rocks (borough) and Stowe Township near McKees Rocks. Mon Valley: most of Hazelwood-Glen Hazel, most of Homestead, part of Munhall, Mon View Heights & Mifflin Estates in West Mifflin, southern half of Swissvale, Rankin, most of Braddock/North Braddock, East Pittsburgh, parts of North Versailles, most of Duquesne, most of McKeesport and most of Clairton. Places in the Eastern Suburbs like parts of Penn Hills, Wilmerding, most of Turtle Creek, Brinton Manor in Braddock Hills, part of Pitcairn and even some apts in Monroeville are getting worse due to ppl moving there.
It doesn't look that bad. Just old. I like old buildings. A little renovation and touching up is all most of these streets need. Pittsburgh's a great city.
Do some videos on the rural backwoods ghettos in PA. When I'm out fishing and driving thru some of these places. It's worse than the big cities . The Ozarks!
I live here. You be surprised how many people have died around these nice house. He was in Wilkensburg at one point. 1 family lost about 6 members of that family to a ambush at a cook out
She said nice houses 🤣🤣🤣 you need to experience more than a nasty ghetto! He drives fast but trust me these horse are not nice! You just have low expectations! Level up girl
I’m such a huge fan of demographics. I love all people. When I see a “hood” I’m not staring because I’m repulsed or scared.. (sometimes I am) but because it is INTERESTING. Life on the streets is a life that people have lived for a very long time. And that right there shows character. I love seeing my favorite people come out Of places like this with so much love in their hearts.. I love Pittsburgh. I love my hometown, the steel city.
Looks like u went to The Hill, Homewood, Wilkinsburg, Larimer . There are so many other hoods such as Duquesne (think that’s how u spell it), Braddock, North Braddock, McKeesport , Mckeesrocks, Rankin, Homestead are also hoods very close to Pittsburgh. Stuff inside the city that’s hoods is Beltzhoover, Mt Oliver, Arlington, Arlington Hights, Allentown, And most of North Side. Make sure to visit those.
"Slum landlords" are the problem in these neighborhoods and the areas Mayors, City Council, etc.... Homes are sold to slum landlords, over and over again, he rents the houses, he doesn't check his houses, they become eyesores in the neighborhood, and the Mayor, etc. "don't" do anything to keep this from happening. Then the landlord doesn't pay his property taxes For Years! (I have no idea how this happens). So how will this slum neighborhood pay there necessary bills? They can't! Schools close, businesses close.... People start selling their homes, and the slum landlords buys the homes, and rents them out, and continues making the neighborhood worse. These City Mayors, Council, etc... who are Voted in, "over and over again" and are doing nothing to Prevent a neighborhood becoming a slum! Oh well, it is what it is, Government doesn't care, to prevent this from happening...slum neighborhoods.
novawolverine......True. I thought is was weird when I used to drive past the Children's hospital and then Bam! There was Garfield.....that place is fucked up....and I remember the South Bx in the 80's.....Looks the same....
Wanda yea cuz that's the north side, that's the fucking ghetto that's why! If u go out side that area then yes you'll find nice beautiful places. Just like every other city.
@Wanda Roderick have you lived here? The ghetto is nasty as hell I agree with that. But I don't live in no ghetto and if you go outside of it you'll see the beautiful parts. Gtfoh
@@Lisa.G412 wrong he was in Lincoln Larimer homewood the Eastside is fuck up the Southside is fucked up the Northside is fucked up and the westside is on itz way downhill... Pittsburgh is only nice when u get money
It has its beautiful areas like saint Clair,mt Lebanon,fox chapel castle shannon and lots of country area also.Im a truck driver and I got to know all areas,lots of historic buildings that are just beautiful.
Our working class neighborhoods is ghetto because our cost of living is high and jobs dont pay.... Pittsburgh is actually a nice city just cant trust nobody here.... niggas will rob u for your dirty drawls 2 dollars and a slim jim
I lived in Pittsburgh Pa hafe of my life and were you are driving is in Homewood , that corner when you just drove through at the high school hafe of my family went to and on that corner is my grandfather house. Pittsburgh Pa has the most beauitful Victorian House you even see before , yeah we got pole holes on every corner. But '''' Damn'' we keep our house looking good and yet you may called it the ghetto But we call it home and it's the suburbs.
back in 1977 I did a report on this for school mom drove me all over to take pictures. Mostly the Hill as some places she didnt want to go. I have to say some of the worst buildings were torn down.
These are NOT ghettos ! They are old neighborhoods with old houses that are a bit run down, but no graffiti or trash anywhere on here. Check out some of the cities like Detroit, Chicago, NYC to see real ghettos. Perhaps some of the projects around Pittsburgh are trashed. These cities I mentioned WISH their ghettos looked like the ones on here !
@@JahovazWhiteness still there, God bless you, grew up on a hill called Beatty st. next to Graham field, went to St. James before moving out rt.30 to Norwin area.
I grew up in Wilkinsburg on Coal Street (in the video from Penn Ave to North Ave..) near Hunter Field. On google maps my childhood home is no longer there.
I am seeing lots of poor old places, empty lots and run-down businesses but I am not seeing the piles of stinking trash and garbage and overall wanton filthiness that I see in other cities Charlie has gone to.
nah he was right...that was the exact order of hoods he was in. The Hill, and now Larimer has really started to clean up. But he really didn't go through the bad parts of the hill. Homewood is the bottom, and has long been a death trap.
How sad. The areas you list as ghettos, used to be thriving, beautiful, and safe places to live and raise a family back in the day. My parents immigrated to America from Europe, and lived in Homewood during the 30's and 40's. They said due to all the shops in the area, you rarely had to go to downtown Pgh, and they never locked their doors at night. Try that now! SMH
@@peopleskarmasquad1042 yeah, we went through like 3 owners in rapid succession. At least one of them embezzled a bunch of money and we lost our credibility. No one wanted to buy us out after that so we shut down 😥 i really loved that school and the teachers too, the city really changed my perspective on a lot of things having grown up in a small town
I lived in the Pittsburgh area 2/3’s of my life. Left the area 7 years ago for good and I am glad I did. Incidentally, the building on the right adjacent to Big Tom’s barber shop is now gone.
What hoods did ya live in in my city? You ever live in Homewood? East hills? Larimer, lincoln?wilkinsburg? It aint sweet out here body bags and tomb stones
What a funny statement since most of the poorest states rely on socialist programs and yet seem to vote Republican over and over. Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama being the top of the list. All very Republican strong hold states. So yes it who that vote for that matters.
these videos have one thing in common: ignorant, mainly white, suburbanites that leave the same comment over and over again. White-conservative flight away from the cities (most of the tax-base) and the subsequent closing of inner-city factories and businesses, closing of manufacturing, racist red-lining etc. was just as much a Republican doing as a Democrat doing, but you keep being ignorant in your privileged suburban/rural bubble.
this looks like its filmed in lawrenceville, it is a ghetto in pittsburgh but for the best footage of pittsburgh you shoulda went to tha south side near beltzoover, alrington, mt oliver, and knoxville...not complaining abt this video tho u still got some cool footage
I live in pittsburgh I been to worse places but some parts of the city are real nasty. Some neighborhoods in the burgh are some of the worst in the country.
As someone who grew up in the hood in philly, what I've seen in this video looks quite decent. Maybe that's just the difference between philly and Pburgh

Ah yes, Pittsburgh Ghettos. More metal awnings per square mile than anywhere else on the planet.
Interesting. Y tho?
Aluminum awnings were quite popular in the 60's through the 90's. Nothing wrong with them. They look obsolete now.
@@garycobiak5926 Pittsburghers fear sunlight.

3:40 Penn Avenue in Wilkinsburg. The yellow building is that used tire / gold pawn shop exchange

well there was some nice cars driven down the street you would think they would spend the money on fix up there house right

Lots of beautiful old architecture near the beginning.
Supa Doopa this is where pgh's middle class lived until after ww2, far enough away from the mills, but close enough to get to work in the city
Homewood was an upscale neighborhood in the early-mid 20th century. It went downhill after the 1968 civil unrest after MLK.
There is nothing wrong in Pittsburgh. I live here. U see bad neighborhoods everywhere you go. And and valances, not just in Pittsburgh it's everywhere
Shout out from Observatory Hill
@Anonymous Gaming Brush Creek road is in the northern suburbs. It's real decent there
Pittsburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in America ! One of America's best kept secrets !
HAHAHA^^ (*I-Hope u were being sarcastic!?!)...
Lol yeah "it looks quite lovely" @hidden gem indeed
Our cobblestone roads hold up better and longer then what they put over that shit! Im old school like that though.
The reason the burgh hasn't been totally turned to shit is because it is still predominantly white.
Half that City is built into the side of a hill one way or another, must be fun driving when the streets are covered with ice.
A few roads are closed in winter, because they are too steep and dangerous.
Yea do most residents have a 4x4? Wondering if I Relocate here if I'd have to buy a new car to commute to work in the snow
It doesn't look that bad. Just old. I like old buildings. A little renovation and touching up is all most of these streets need. Pittsburgh's a great city.

It's crazy how all the houses in the hood look so similar in other states.
I’m such a huge fan of demographics. I love all people. When I see a “hood” I’m not staring because I’m repulsed or scared.. (sometimes I am) but because it is INTERESTING.
Life on the streets is a life that people have lived for a very long time. And that right there shows character.
I love seeing my favorite people come out
Of places like this with so much love in their hearts..
I love Pittsburgh. I love my hometown, the steel city.
Looks like u went to The Hill, Homewood, Wilkinsburg, Larimer . There are so many other hoods such as Duquesne (think that’s how u spell it), Braddock, North Braddock, McKeesport , Mckeesrocks, Rankin, Homestead are also hoods very close to Pittsburgh. Stuff inside the city that’s hoods is Beltzhoover, Mt Oliver, Arlington, Arlington Hights, Allentown, And most of North Side. Make sure to visit those.
Hip Hop Head I didn’t see anything in that video with mckeesrocks in it
Mt. Oliver is not a part of Pittsburgh. It is surrounded by the city, but it is it's own municipality.
1: I meant other hoods that are near PGH
2: I meant the neighborhood but also the borough
3: Arlington heights still be cracking down there
Yes , you spelled "Duquesne " correctly. :)
Those Cobblestone streets were made in 30s, 40s.
And probably of better quality, and longer lasting that asphalt.
The streets are in about the same condition as everywhere in PA: A little smooth pavement, then tobacco road.
Pittsburgh looks like my hometown, Cincinnati.
"Slum landlords" are the problem in these neighborhoods and the areas Mayors, City Council, etc....
Homes are sold to slum landlords, over and over again, he rents the houses, he doesn't check his houses, they become eyesores in the neighborhood, and the Mayor, etc. "don't" do anything to keep this from happening.
Then the landlord doesn't pay his property taxes For Years! (I have no idea how this happens).
So how will this slum neighborhood pay there necessary bills? They can't!
Schools close, businesses close....
People start selling their homes, and the slum landlords buys the homes, and rents them out, and continues making the neighborhood worse.
These City Mayors, Council, etc... who are Voted in, "over and over again" and are doing nothing to Prevent a neighborhood becoming a slum!
Oh well, it is what it is, Government doesn't care, to prevent this from happening...slum neighborhoods.
Welcome the definition of "success" under capitalism
Crazy how close shitty parts of Wilkinsburg are to immaculately maintained areas of Squirrel Hill.
novawolverine......True. I thought is was weird when I used to drive past the Children's hospital and then Bam! There was Garfield.....that place is fucked up....and I remember the South Bx in the 80's.....Looks the same....
Should have hit up the heroin streets in Mt Oliver Arlington Beltzhoover.... good vid though!
Arlington too
@@unoefxz that's what I said!
@@brianemery8945 oops, sorry, I missed that one, it popped into my head and I started typing before reading it all... lol
And Knoxville
Up Warrington area Allentown.
The "Hood" part of the neighborhood is inside where its a couple degrees warmer or this would prolly be whole different video! lol
seen Worst, every city has some bad areas. Pittsburgh is a great City..as long as your Happy. if Not Improve Yourself
Wanda yea cuz that's the north side, that's the fucking ghetto that's why! If u go out side that area then yes you'll find nice beautiful places. Just like every other city.
@Wanda Roderick have you lived here? The ghetto is nasty as hell I agree with that. But I don't live in no ghetto and if you go outside of it you'll see the beautiful parts. Gtfoh
@@Lisa.G412 wrong he was in Lincoln Larimer homewood the Eastside is fuck up the Southside is fucked up the Northside is fucked up and the westside is on itz way downhill... Pittsburgh is only nice when u get money
A great city ran by liberal scumbags? Pittsburgh has fallen from its Glory days you are just so blinded you don't know any better.
@@slyfox1983 Racist!
I get all types of vibes. Detroit, Cleveland and Camden NJ mixed together.
A lot cleaner than other hoods
Murakami it still looks pretty dirty tho
Pittsburgh grimy af tho 😐
Looks like upgrade version Boston mix Baltimore
Ooooooo u don’t kno how bad it gets 😭😭😭
It has its beautiful areas like saint Clair,mt Lebanon,fox chapel castle shannon and lots of country area also.Im a truck driver and I got to know all areas,lots of historic buildings that are just beautiful.
This video showing the hood in the city limits. Go to the suburbs in the south hills. Can't get better than those areas.
Its summer here now. I do not wish to be bummed out by images of pittsburgh winter.😀
Go to McKeesport, Braddock, or Homewood if you want to see a hood in the 'Burgh.
Click bait. I'm still waiting to see the ghettos. This looks like working-class neighborhoods.
Lmao alright al capone
You mean living off us hard working citizens. Try going into this at night! Gtfoh
Our working class neighborhoods is ghetto because our cost of living is high and jobs dont pay.... Pittsburgh is actually a nice city just cant trust nobody here.... niggas will rob u for your dirty drawls 2 dollars and a slim jim
Show me a big city that DOESN'T have a ghetto area.........???
Show me the who's the common denominator in those ghettos
i must live in a ghetto cause this looks like my neighborhood.... no one ever told me damn it
The first place you drove through was where I’m from. I visited that gas station often.
My home town. You even drove past where my old crib that sat on Kedron st. in Homewood....
Nuclear Fusion where ya live now
Fierce Drift just right outside of the burgh now. Are you familiar with the Eastside of Pittsburgh as well?
Nuclear Fusion Eastside nice fr i fw Garfield and east lib 🤟
hardly a ghetto as we know most of the lots are empty, houses long gone but clean streets.
Nice car rumbles and growls behind the scenes . What model and what year of your car?
I wish they would have told you exactly what neighborhood they were in
Kinda looks like Detroit.
Not even close.
I agree, it does
R.I.P Jimmy wopo 🙏🏾👑
facts rip a pittsburgh legend
I lived in Pittsburgh Pa hafe of my life and were you are driving is in Homewood , that corner when you just drove through at the high school hafe of my family went to and on that corner is my grandfather house. Pittsburgh Pa has the most beauitful Victorian House you even see before , yeah we got pole holes on every corner. But '''' Damn'' we keep our house looking good and yet you may called it the ghetto But we call it home and it's the suburbs.
back in 1977 I did a report on this for school mom drove me all over to take pictures. Mostly the Hill as some places she didnt want to go. I have to say some of the worst buildings were torn down.
Oh he's on the Hill, Homewood, Wilkensburgh
Yeah, and these neighborhoods look like Cranberry Twp next to some of the "ghettos" I've seen in Baltimore, Wash DC, and Cleveland. Real Talk!
Black people
Pittsburgh, a Sylvania town that was a mighty steel town has gone down that same road as the other industrial cities in the Rust Belt.
Steel city baby😎
Allll day!
@@tezsgino o.o it
Nah that's B'ham bb
These are NOT ghettos ! They are old neighborhoods with old houses that are a bit run down, but no graffiti or trash anywhere on here. Check out some of the cities like Detroit, Chicago, NYC to see real ghettos. Perhaps some of the projects around Pittsburgh are trashed. These cities I mentioned WISH their ghettos looked like the ones on here !
I'm afraid to go to Detroit and Chicago.
Some narration on what parts of Pgh. you were in would have been great.
@Roy Moore East Hills and Wilkinsburg are also shown.
@@JahovazWhiteness grew up in wilkinsburg in late sixties early seventies, hasn't changed a bit.
@@phoenixhvac-r828 I still live in Wilkinsburg lol. I live pocket of Wilkinsburg that's actually surprisingly pretty nice though.
@@JahovazWhiteness still there, God bless you, grew up on a hill called Beatty st. next to Graham field, went to St. James before moving out rt.30 to Norwin area.
I grew up in Wilkinsburg on Coal Street (in the video from Penn Ave to North Ave..) near Hunter Field. On google maps my childhood home is no longer there.
Looks like The Hill, Wilkinsburg, Homewood, Lincoln and then Larimer. Man my city looks depressing. Those potholes are crazy tho, huh? Lol
I am seeing lots of poor old places, empty lots and run-down businesses but I am not seeing the piles of stinking trash and garbage and overall wanton filthiness that I see in other cities Charlie has gone to.
Big Timer you probably live in the south hills
Looks like Pat is wrong. Maybe doesn't know shit.
Garfield ,Homewood, lil italy....
nah he was right...that was the exact order of hoods he was in. The Hill, and now Larimer has really started to clean up. But he really didn't go through the bad parts of the hill. Homewood is the bottom, and has long been a death trap.
this has got to be in the nations top 10 most thriving ghettos to live in
How sad. The areas you list as ghettos, used to be thriving, beautiful, and safe places to live and raise a family back in the day. My parents immigrated to America from Europe, and lived in Homewood during the 30's and 40's. They said due to all the shops in the area, you rarely had to go to downtown Pgh, and they never locked their doors at night. Try that now! SMH
Thanks for the ride. It makes me feel better about where I live and work.
I recognize these areas, I miss Pittsburgh so much. I wish my school hadn't shut down 😥
Schenley High?
@@lydesgirl the art institute of Pittsburgh
@@zoiss6576 Didn’t know the AIP closed. I knew that the Ivy Art school closed years back, but you surprised me with that post.
@@peopleskarmasquad1042 yeah, we went through like 3 owners in rapid succession. At least one of them embezzled a bunch of money and we lost our credibility. No one wanted to buy us out after that so we shut down 😥 i really loved that school and the teachers too, the city really changed my perspective on a lot of things having grown up in a small town
Thank u. Haven't been in these parts in awhile. I live 40 minutes north
I lived in the Pittsburgh area 2/3’s of my life. Left the area 7 years ago for good and I am glad I did. Incidentally, the building on the right adjacent to Big Tom’s barber shop is now gone.
At least in Pittsburgh we tear down old burned our houses
Man I live around here. These hoods aren’t bad. Actually most very proud people being held out of the good jobs. I love the burg.
"Being held out of the good jobs..." What's that mean?
What hoods did ya live in in my city? You ever live in Homewood? East hills? Larimer, lincoln?wilkinsburg? It aint sweet out here body bags and tomb stones
Born and raised in the ghetto and still love it
I am a foreigner lived there for sometime I’d say nice ppl lived there
I grow up in McKeesport. It looks like it has been bombed!!!!
you should make these videos live streams. next time you're out cruising, make it live! that'd be dope.
That would be awesome I know Id watch
And what would the purpose of a livestream be? He couldn't read any posts or answer them when he's driving DUH!?
Why
All these blighted cities have one common denominator, the people vote for the same party and people over and over again.
What a funny statement since most of the poorest states rely on socialist programs and yet seem to vote Republican over and over. Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama being the top of the list. All very Republican strong hold states. So yes it who that vote for that matters.
Strawberry Plains
And POOR REPUBLICANS , NO BETTER! Both Political Parties SOLD US OUT ! MILLIONS. OF PERMA JOBS and REAL WAGES NEVER COMING BACK !
Brainwashed
@Bill Miller thanks bud
these videos have one thing in common: ignorant, mainly white, suburbanites that leave the same comment over and over again. White-conservative flight away from the cities (most of the tax-base) and the subsequent closing of inner-city factories and businesses, closing of manufacturing, racist red-lining etc. was just as much a Republican doing as a Democrat doing, but you keep being ignorant in your privileged suburban/rural bubble.
If I lived there I'd be studying the Law of Attraction on TH-cam. It certainly worked for me. I use it 24x7 365.
Hebrews 13:1
Let brotherly love continue.
not nearly as bad as some of the areas from the south
Ummm this neighborhood doesn’t look too horrible. Compare with Philadelphia.
this looks like its filmed in lawrenceville, it is a ghetto in pittsburgh but for the best footage of pittsburgh you shoulda went to tha south side near beltzoover, alrington, mt oliver, and knoxville...not complaining abt this video tho u still got some cool footage
Lawrenceville is a lot nicer these days
shit man I used to live over there, back 15 years ago.. brings back some harsh memories.. shittsburgh still looks exactly the same too...
Go fuck yourself!
Do this in the summer time
thats paradise compared to detoilet
fuck off bitch
They are all pieces of shit wholes. Dummy up here trying to compare ghettos lmbo
I like the architecture of the older buildings. Looks like a neighborhood that will one day be gentrified.
swtv1754 parts of the east end already are, but Chad & Meghan will never get here, it's been the 'hood for 30+ years
The morrow of our little story is you can not tax your way to prosperity
Those hoods are not bad. I'd live there
breadandcircus1 Pittsburgh looks worst than it is.
Don't judge the place by it's cover lol. I ain't from there but shit looks like it'll get rowdy @ night.
Damon Thomas Trust me its worse than it looks, people are very grimy in Pittsburgh, they call it the city of steel for more reasons than one
I live in pittsburgh I been to worse places but some parts of the city are real nasty. Some neighborhoods in the burgh are some of the worst in the country.
Mr. Daggers philly looks much worse and bigger
You should do a video on New Castle PA.
Justin Copple STG 😆😆😆😆
Thanks for the interesting video.
As someone who grew up in the hood in philly, what I've seen in this video looks quite decent. Maybe that's just the difference between philly and Pburgh
