@@chiefsosa2568 : NYC is not the safest big city in the world. For example, Tokyo's murder rate is 0.3 per 100000 people, and it's bigger than NYC. Just saying.
It used to look much worse. Its actually pretty clean now. my family took the train from upstate to NYC in the early-90s, and the section through Harlem was one of the worst ghettos I had seen outside of Detroit. Trash, graffiti, boarded people, vagrants, stripped cars along the street. Its becoming gentrified. I checked the area along the tracks on google street view and, coupled with this video, I can say that its 80 times nicer than it was almost 30 years ago. Now, it actually almost looks safe.
I am a white guy of European descent who worked in housing projects for a long time. And for 13 of those years, I worked in Harlem and never had any issues. Got along with 99.99% of my tenants and dealt with their everyday issues as if they were my family.
Wow ur so cool,its not like most of harlem doesnt do that.Thats how i know ur not from Harlem,the media brainwashed u to think Harlem is some dangerous ghetto even though its crime rate has dropped alot.

Look at Harlem! Boy oh boy. Then look at Detroit. What a comparison. CharlieBo313, I've just discovered and been enjoying your videos for a couple of days now. Good work. I'm 65 and I grew up in a suburb of Detroit and I know Detroit has been going downhill for decades now. It started after the end of WW2 and when the riots happened in the 60's, it broke the city's back. Its really very sad. But keep up the good work! Really enjoy your stuff!
You missed one important thing. The shuttering of auto manufacturing facilities, one after the other, which is the real cause of Detroit's blight. The aftermath of the savage repression of Black revolts in 1967, could have been turned around, but NOT the moving of auto factories.
I really like watching these, I come from England so I find big city's like NY interesting to see and the city's history the good and the bad. Obviously it's not like it used too be, the documentorys from the 70's and 80's are fascinating too me.

First of all thanks for a video i've been waiting for a long time, but why all this hate towards NYC? Im not even american so you all know something more than me but i like New York visually as much as the rest of the U.S. because its special in its own way. I'd like to live there for some time.
Busy Bread im from europe i would live there no problem. i got family in the bronx and thats not too bad either, theres some pretty safe parts in the bronx, nowadays even the ghetto parts of nyc are livable. theres so much to do in nyc, theres absolutely no need to commit crimes
Brother Biz There are some ghettos and neighborhoods in NY (and many other big US cities) that you simply cannot casually stroll through unless you know someone or have business there. The cost of living is sky high in NY as well. You cant get by working a minimum wage job so people find other ways to supplement their income
FREEDOMIST617 well i can rap its easy to connect with hip hop artists in nyc, if rap dont work i would start producin beats, if that dont work ill start sellin music vinyls and cds nyc has enough of it where i can find rare stuff to sell. if sellin music dont work i might start sellin drugs, easy to find such connections in nyc. i might do porn, become a gogo dancer for women. take a step into the film industry, anything to get a buck LOL seriously though like Ill Bill raped only idiots is broke in new york. usa/nyc = easy land
Aye charlie , if we send u videos of our hoods will u post them since u only go to places that ur job takes u, would make it easier for u to get footage and everyone would be able to show there side , since u never come to oakland ca
