My old neighborhood never changed. Still a tight group of people live there. People who actually look out for each other. Not a bad neighborhood but not one of the upper class ones either… This is where I fell I love with Victorian houses. There are some still well kept out there.
@@eaanyills he's right. East Falls street is totally empty, not much activity. The active parts of town are places like Whitney Avenue, 19th street, Highland Ave etc..
At the rate it is going, Niagara Falls NY will end up empty and decayed just like East St Louis IL and Gary IN. It is a violent destitute city that just cannot turn things around. Ever since the horrendously failed urban renewal that started in 1968, it has been all downhill for Niagara Falls.
I used to live in Niagara Falls New York in the area that was shown I lived over there there was a lot of houses over there when I first came there 2001 when they start building that casino all the people that own houses around their stuff selling the houses to the casino with the promise of the casino was supposed to build up around there button fortunately they have not did anything for that land all they did was scared out all the houses and left looking like that that's why the area looks like it does now till this day
Actually the mass demolition of that neighborhood started back in the early 90s when some snake oil salesman from Edmonton Canada disguised as a real estate developer promised to build a giant mega mall complex on all that land. It eventually fell through. The casino came after 2002.
@@backyarddavinci strange because I’m in NF as I write this and there seems to be plenty of poor whites walking through the slums. It’s a rotten place to live no matter what your race.
LMAO when u speak without knowing jack shit . these rundown areas in niagara falls are not predominantly black like other cities, theres tons of italians and irish (white) . the little italy area along pine ave is one of the worst in the city its a class issue not a race one
@@dickchampagne4358 racist youre no better than the other guy . white neighborhood doesnt equal safe or prosperous, the areas youre seeing in this video are heavily mixed with a lot of whites living there (italian / irish usually)

I left NF 40 years ago. It is heartbreaking to see what it has become.
Another area with the post-apocalyptic look to it.
😱 so much potential in that area.
They have the same old houses in Detroit
I wasn't prepared for this when i went there this summer. Sad. Lots of cool property out there.

The abandoned slum areas are relatively safe, cuz nobody lives there, LOL.
What? The lower aves are plagued with violent crime.
@@eaanyills The one street I was referring to was practically abandoned, like Love Canal.

Didn’t even know Niagara Falls had a hood until now
Really? It's replaced Buffalo as the most dangerous city in NYS for some time now.
@@bflo1000 yeah you’re right. I had to google it. Buffalo is # 2
it is the hoodie-ist...went there for work once....NEVER again....
It's crazy. There's like this invisible dividing line. The Falls, and the rest. It's sad

Lived here my whole life...I am 716 ..If they from here I kno them!!
Best city in the world ❤
Niagara could be a better city it's up to the people
The people keep re-electing the same entrenched career politicians over and over and this is what happened.
Niagara Falls would fix up the buildings if the neighborhood were white.
They wouldn't get like that in the first place if it was white.

It wouldn’t have to be fixed up if it was
